A message from your E&I leaders

As we move into May, I want to take a moment to reflect on the importance of respect within our organisation. Everyone deserves to feel safe, included, and respected at work – this isn’t just a fundamental personal belief but one that is very important to Monadelphous.

At Monadelphous, respect for ourselves and our teammates is a big part of how we operate. Looking after each other is at the heart of our safety and wellbeing culture, and respect for ourselves and everyone we work with drives this.

Respect is not just a word; it’s a mindset and actions we demonstrate in everything we do. It’s about how we support each other and communicate to create an environment where everyone feels valued and heard.

Respect in Every Step is the commitment made by myself and each of our business leaders and is enacted by each and every one of our people working at Monadelphous.

On a personal note, I’ve found that the most effective way to foster respect is through active listening. When we truly listen, we not only understand each other better but also build stronger, more collaborative teams. Let’s continue to practice respect in all our interactions, ensuring that our workplace remains a supportive and inclusive space for all.

I encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on what respect means to you and how we can continue working together to foster a workplace where everyone can bring their best selves to work.

This month we celebrated internal growth within our team with the promotion of Meagan Clothier to the position of Commercial Manager – E&I. Meagan joined Monadelphous over 12 years ago, starting as a Graduate Accountant and progressing through a series of finance roles to her current position as Senior Management Accountant.

Meagan steps into her new role following the impending retirement of our current Commercial Manager – E&I, Paul Talty, who will transition from this role and continue to support the Company from September 2025. Paul has been a valued member of the E&I team, providing guidance, commercial expertise and mentorship throughout his 20 year tenure. While Paul’s retirement is still some time away, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge his significant contribution to the EC Division and to thank him for his dedicated service.

As always, thanks to everyone for your ongoing commitment and contributions. I am confident that the momentum we have built together will continue to grow and ensure another safe and successful year ahead for the E&I Division.

Welcome, everyone, to the latest edition of On the Wire.

We start off this edition by congratulating Zach Wilkinson and Haiqal Halid, who have successfully completed their Electrical Apprenticeships. Both joined as part of an extended intake in February 2024, which included not only first-year candidates but also those whose apprenticeships had been interrupted elsewhere. Zach and Haiqal fell into the latter category and have proven to be valuable team members on their respective projects. We’re pleased to share that both have chosen to stay on as tradesmen and continue their journey with Monadelphous.

On the project front, the Car Dumper 3 (CD3) team continues to ramp up preparations for the major shutdown, which is just a few months away. Over the past year, the team has made the most of opportunistic shutdowns to complete and prepare critical works, helping to de-risk the main event. Fine-tuning will continue right up until the start date.

At Greenbushes, the team has successfully handed over the HPGR area - well done to all involved! With steel now installed in other facilities, more work fronts are opening up, allowing the team to begin cable installation. Despite some challenging conditions, the team’s resilience has shone through, enabling them to deliver high-quality work safely.

Up north at Pluto on the Burrup Peninsula, our first two E&I Supervisors and two engineers have mobilised. It’s early days for the E&I scope, with a slow start expected to build momentum over the next three to four months.

Over on Barrow Island, the Jansz team is progressing well, with transformer components, oil, and ISO tanks arriving for assembly. Underground cabling is being routed to the new substations, where glanding and terminations will soon begin. In the brownfields area, the team is awaiting further access from the civil contractor. They’ve also recently completed a series of delicate shutdowns in the Central Control Room - an excellent example of planning and execution that has strengthened trust with the operations team.

The Western Range Project team continues to impress, consistently receiving praise and additional scope from our valued client. The team’s flexibility in managing multiple work fronts daily is a key factor in this success and positions us well for future opportunities with this important customer.

Crossing the border to South Australia, Hugh and his team at Prominent Hill are currently focused on the conveyor system. While the team is small for now, numbers will grow as more work fronts open in the coming months.

In Gladstone, the team continues to perform strongly on both the execution and tender fronts. New work is being secured, and existing projects are progressing well, setting up a strong finish to FY25 and a solid start to FY26. The Fitzroy to Gladstone Pipeline Project, potentially the largest for the branch to date, is ramping up, with the team expanding across both blue and white-collar roles.

Finally, I want to close with the same message as last month because it remains just as important: we must keep “Line of Fire” risks front of mind across all our projects. This is a critical safety consideration not only at work but in our daily lives. Take the time to assess the task ahead and ask yourself, “What if?”- your instincts are often your best guide.

That’s all for this month- stay safe and look out for each other.

Iain.
