SEE Civil has adopted SEE Group’s corporate training and participation target policies for the project.

SEE Civil has set spending targets for Local and Indigenous Participation throughout project delivery and currently has two new industry entrant apprentices.

In addition, the project has secured funding for indigenous spending and training opportunities for employees.

The project directly interfaces with over 80 private properties along the Chambers Flat Road alignment, road users, public transport operators, and property services including Australia Post and Logan Waste.

SEE Civil is currently working with the community to deliver project works to minimise disruption.

The project corridor interacts with over 49 overhead powerlines, which run parallel and perpendicular to the road alignment.  Planning of the works to comply with the asset owners’ strict exclusion zone offsets are crucial to the safety of onsite personnel.

SEE Civil has worked with the Council and their designers to amend the ‘soft soil embankment design’ to suit the updated geotechnical condition encountered during project delivery. This includes the addition of geotechnical monitoring systems, high-permeability drainage layers, high-strength geotextile reinforcement, ground retention works, and surcharging.

SEE Civil is working with Council designers to optimise the design to mitigate the impact of discovered ground conditions to mitigate its impact on the construction programme and achieve value for money outcomes.

• Supported 8 trainees in completing a Cert III in Civil Construction.
• Supported 2 employees in a Graduate Engineering Development Program.
• Supported 2 Engineering Interns, 1 of which gained full time employment as a Graduate.
• Supported 1 trainee in completing a Cert IV in Supervision.
• Supported employees to upskill in 19 industry short courses.
• Employed 6 local Indigenous personnel.
• Achieved 26% female participation on the project, 3 of which were trainees.
• Achieved 160% of an internal new entrant training target, a total of 6234 hours were achieved from a target of 3900 hours.
• Achieved 266% of an internal other workforce training target, a total of 6910 hours were achieved from a target of 2600 hours.
• Achieved 990% of an internal target for Indigenous Employment, a total of 9650 hours were achieved from a target of 975.
• Achieved 225% of an internal target for Indigenous Economic Participation with a total spend with Indigenous businesses $731,434 out of a target of $325,026.

The Projects training and Indigenous Participation targets were modelled of the QLD 10% Training Policy calculation method. The project set out to achieve a collective 3% Indigenous participation target across employment and economic spend.
