BK Civil Group has an on-going commitment to growing the skill-set of our staff. “Finding talented people and supporting them in growing their skills strengthens the foundations of our business and expands our capabilities.” said Jack Alldridge, BK Civil General Manager.
Saul joined the team as a qualified Auto Mechanic. His previous experience had largely involved work with light vehicles, and after joining BK Civil he was swiftly enrolled in a Certificate IV of Mechanical Engineering Heavy Diesel. Saul has since finished this qualification and is now dual qualified in Auto and Heavy Diesel Mechanical.
Dave and Clay are also members of the workshop team who’ll soon be dual qualified. Dave’s experience as a qualified Panel Beater and Spray Painter has been an asset to the team, as has Clay’s experience as a qualified Boilermaker. BK Civil is currently supporting Dave and Clay through the process of completing the Certificate IV in Mechanical Engineering Heavy Diesel.
Last year presented many challenges for communities and businesses globally. Recent statistics revealed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development show that unemployment rates in Australia amongst those aged between 15-24 rose by almost 4% when compared to pre-pandemic quarterly results. During this time, BK Civil was able to provide two school-based apprenticeships to local teenagers Bob and Joe.
Bob and Joe joined the workshop team late last year and are participating in training for the Certificate IV in Mechanical Engineering Heavy Diesel qualification whilst they finish their senior years at highschool. “They’ve both got excellent work ethics and display a keen willingness to learn. I have no doubt that they have the potential to become even more valuable members of the workshop team as they progress through their training” said Jack.
