Downer has been busy in the Manawatū in the last 18 months with the company experiencing rapid growth in region. “With key projects in and around the region, and core customers across various Government agencies, local authorities and commercial entities, the level of infrastructure investment in Manawatū shows it’s a strategic area for growth,” says Matt. This has seen Downer upscale its business in the region, investing in its people and plant resources, while also building up strong relationships with key local suppliers and subcontractors. It has resulted in a lot of on-the-job training for staff and job creation in the region. This has included Downer bringing on people who found themselves out of work due to Covid and transitioning them into the civil construction industry with additional training and licensing provided by Downer. “Over the past 18 months we’ve continued to focus on being a great part of the Manawatū community and, as a result of our successful project delivery in the region, we are receiving a high calibre of candidates wanting to join the team. Good attracts great and people are now knocking on Downer’s door.”
