Melchor win at CCFWA Awards

On Friday, May 2, Melchor attended the WA Civil Construction Industry & Training Awards 2025, an event dedicated to celebrating the dedication, skill, and hard work of individuals making a meaningful impact in the civil industry.

Melchor was well represented across 10 award categories, including 10 individuals and two company initiatives. 

A special congratulations to Zerubabela (Zee) Pera, who was officially named Site Supervisor of the Year! This is a well-deserved accolade for Zee, who is a highly respected teammate and an asset to his crew. 

Zee commenced on Melchor’s West Musgrave project and was involved for 12 months as the lead Steelfixing Supervisor and Crane/Rigging Supervisor. His management of a significant structure at height and his vast technical knowledge of reinforcement requirements contributed to the project’s success and led to program time savings on some of the large structures, including the Primary Crusher and VRMs.

Operations Manager Dylan Ogilvie said that Zee manages his crews in an approachable and friendly but firm manner.

“What’s impressive is his ability to professionally handle any tricky personal situations while maintaining high levels of empathy and integrity,” he said.

“He has also grown into an excellent public speaker who demands respect from all attendees.

“His ability to successfully integrate new starters and lead the strong culture of the business is also admirable, and engagement he drives contributes to our overall performance.”

Congratulations, Zee, on your award, and a very well done to all the other nominees and award winners.
