So, we’re doing a lot of infrastructure related projects and a lot of that is also renewing existing aging assets — whether that is paving or pipework.” Vic says undertaking the diverse range of projects requires a diverse skills base, and the 130-strong team are drawn from a broad range of backgrounds, industries and businesses. “Only a very few staff have come from other tier one contractors in the region. While we do all our projects in-house, we also use a 35% - 40% subcontractor component in everything we do. We like to give back to the community in terms of the local market and supporting smaller contractors and suppliers as much as we can. “We also do a lot of work with iwi and other community groups to help disadvantaged people get back into the workforce. We have an Infrastructure Skills Programme where candidates are drawn mainly from Ministry of Social Development. We interview the candidates, ensure they are drug and alcohol free and put them on a four-week training course. At the end of that course they have the skills to come into our industry for further growth and development. “Fulton Hogan continues to be a family-owned business and everybody feels like they belong and that they have an identity here.
