The work on this project will be done by an army of hard-working locals. The people from Dubbo have been enlisted to assist with the Mindyarra Rail Maintenance Facility construction, which is being handled by CPB Contractors and Transport for NSW in cooperation between both parties.
The Member for the Dubbo electorate, Dugald Saunders said that locals are not only being employed on this project but they’re also getting opportunities to upgrade their skills.
CPB continues local employment at Mindyarra Rail Maintenance Facility project.
It’s fantastic to see regional businesses being backed by the NSW Government, and even better that they’re providing opportunities for workers who want more.
Central West Plumbing and Civil Drainage is responsible for much of the plumbing within our sheds, including installing kilometres upon kilometres with stainless steel piping that is installed by professionals.
Director Tim Connolly started his business 10 years ago and it has become a booming success. As part of their involvement with Mindyarra, the company’s staff received training to safely access rail corridors while developing an action plan for any potential hazards they may encounter in these areas – all without putting themselves or others at risk.
JLE Group is putting in up to 15 staff members on this project, including five Indigenous workers and eight apprentices. Manager Brock Harris said it’s an experience like no other that will set their company for generations with such landmark work done by them all.
