Jesse strikes gold

Written by Communications | 11 Aug 2026

A keen eye for detail and a willingness to speak up earned Jesse Lockley a Gold Coin Award on the Jansz-Io Compression (JIC) Project.

While carrying out routine project activities, Jesse identified that preservation controls protecting critical equipment were at risk of being removed. Rather than push on, he took the time to stop, verify the requirements and ensure the correct controls remained in place.

The Gold Coin Award is the highest recognition on the JIC Project. This customer-led award celebrates individuals who lead by example and demonstrate outstanding commitment to safety, quality and leadership.

Jesse's proactive intervention helped protect critical project assets and maintain the quality standards required to support future commissioning activities. More importantly, it demonstrated the importance of taking ownership, paying attention to the details and doing things the right way.

"Jesse's vigilance, initiative and commitment to preservation standards exemplify the behaviours we expect across the project and reinforce the importance of protecting critical assets throughout the construction phase," the Chevron team said.

It's the kind of action that can easily go unnoticed, but it highlights the important role every person plays in delivering successful project outcomes. By taking a moment to question what he was seeing and verify the requirements, Jesse helped prevent potential rework and ensured critical equipment remained protected.

In the weeks following the event, Jesse received widespread praise from both our client and project colleagues. He was formally presented with the Gold Coin Award in July in recognition of his outstanding attitude, proactive intervention and commitment to delivering quality outcomes.

"This recognition by our client highlights the importance of individual accountability and the positive safety culture we aim to foster across the project," said Ian Turner, BWI AGI Project Manager.

Well done, Jesse!
