The Fix

Our commitment to Karratha

Written by Communications | 26 Jul 2022

Monadelphous has had operations in Karratha for more than 30 years and has been expanding our footprint in the region over this time.  

As many of our people live and work in Karratha, we continue to support a range of community groups and events, ranging from supporting local sporting clubs to being a major supporter of the FeNaClNG Festival in July.  

We recently launched a campaign that tells our story from the perspective of our people and our community partners.

In recent editions of The Fix, you read about our teams’ fundraising efforts via Containers for Change and our support of FeNaClNG Festival.  

In addition, we recently helped clean up the Karratha Foreshore. 

Along with the City of Karratha and students from the STARS Foundation, Monadelphous employees volunteered as part of the Foreshore Rehabilitation Program, which is aimed at protecting and enhancing the environmental, cultural, recreational and resource functions of the Karratha foreshores.  

Initial stages of the project have now been completed including removal of invasive tamarisk, weed matting installed and planting of native species. 

As well as volunteering, we also contributed funds to support ongoing clean-ups, weed control and the planting of species and native plants. 

We also recently hosted Girls in Engineering in Karratha.  

Since beginning our partnership with the University of Western Australia’s (UWA) Girls in Engineering program in 2018 with founding partner Rio Tinto, Monadelphous employees have been presenting at schools, speaking at events and facilitating workshops in regional locations across Western Australia.  

Five students and two staff from the Girls in Engineering UWA team recently travelled to Karratha and visited the Monadelphous workshop to get a taste of life on-site, hearing about our current projects and teams’ experiences. 

If you are interested in volunteering to present at schools in WA on behalf of Monadelphous, please register your interest here.
