For those willing to put in the work the opportunity to grow, gain qualifications, and progress their career is always supported.” T to page 20 Firm a key player in Central region T Richard Loader Fulton Hogan is one of the largest employers in Central Otago, offering wide-ranging employment opportunities. Central Otago - Fulton Hogan REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT A versatile national civil contracting business with solid local roots, Fulton Hogan Ltd commenced life as a small family business operating from Dunedin, servicing the wider Otago region. Staying true to its origins, Fulton Hogan re- mains privately owned with the original family values at the heart of what it does. “We look after our people, we care for our community, and we stand by our word and our workmanship,” says Jared Johnston Fulton Hogan’s Central Otago Regional Manager. “Those core family values have led to gener- ations of enduring client relationships within the region and have enabled the company to deliver a quality and valued product to our clients over many years.” Jared says Fulton Hogan’s most significant point of difference is that the company has the capability and capacity to offer a genu- ine ‘one-stop-shop’ to its clients, delivering efficiencies and effectiveness on the projects it undertakes. “We are a fully integrated business, so we can assist our clients in the full life cycle of their project including initial design and scoping, through to physical construction of an asset, and then support that asset through operation and/or maintenance. “Because we can control our internal supply chain, we are able to offer a seamless service to our clients, with an ability to ‘scale up’ to meet the most challenging of programmes.” Complementing its experience and capabil- ity, Fulton Hogan’s full environmental, quality, and safety accreditation, delivers its clients the confidence and comfort when working with a longstanding, local, tier-one contractor. Employing around 270 staff within the region, Fulton Hogan is proud to be one of the largest employers in Central Otago, offering wide-ranging employment opportunities from labourers and cadets through to qualified engineers. “We pride ourselves in the training and development opportunities we offer our people. For those willing to put in the work the opportunity to grow, gain qualifications, and progress their career is always supported.” Fulton Hogan’s CEO Graeme Johnson is a perfect example of the opportunities offered to young people. Starting his journey working for Fulton Ho- gan on his school holidays, Graeme was once a Fulton Hogan cadet. Being one of the larger employers in the region, Fulton Hogan also places significant value on supporting the local community both through the wellbeing of its own staff and their families, as well as sponsoring communi- ty events, sports, and various other initiatives. Some of Fulton Hogan’s larger sponsorships include the Dunstan Hospital, Nigel Latta Mental Health Seminar that the company put on for its own staff and the local communities, the Alexandra Blossom Festival, and the com- pany’s recent ‘Family Day at the Quarry’ event held at Parkburn Quarry. While Fulton Hogan’s Central Otago region- al office is based in Alexandra where it has been for almost 60 years, offices and depots have been established in Cromwell’s Parkburn Quarry and Queenstown, servicing a large ge- ographic area that includes the Queenstown Lakes district. Offering a full suite of road and infrastruc- ture based services Fulton Hogan has estab- lished a trusted reputation for building and maintaining all facets of road and three-water networks. “We also have a heavy regional presence in traffic management, structures including civil and bridge infrastructure, aggregate and asphalt manufacturing, project manage- ment, along with mechanical, electrical, and engineering services that support our supply chain. “We’re fortunate to have a number of long- standing and trusted relationships that have been established through decades of proven service and delivery.” Fulton Hogan’s core customer sectors in Central Otago include Central Otago Dis- trict Council (CODC) and Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC), Waka Kotahi NZTA, private land developers, and a range of local contractors throughout the region that it sub-contract to.
