International Women's Day

Hutchies celebrates IWD to recognise women in the workforce, but we also support and advocate for women all year round. 

Our network of female leaders provides a platform for our women to develop experience in a diverse range of challenging roles and projects. Our learning culture provides the opportunity to develop leading edge construction knowledge with the support of some of the best across disciplines. 

Central to Hutchies’ structure is the ownership principle that demands individuals take responsibility for the part they play. We acknowledge the enormous contribution of women at Hutchies, and the positive impact they are having to the industry and communities we build.  

Our unyielding effort is to create an environment that provides individual support to all Hutchies' people. We want to foster a feeling of safety, respect and inclusion, with a stable platform to confidently build a career. 

Last year, Hutchies continued to #BreakTheBias around women in the workforce as we celebrated 25 years of membership with the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC). Further, we partnered with a range of new associations, including UNIQ You and Women in Design and Construction, to expand our organic reach and attract new female talent.  

For 2023, Hutchies will continue to #EmbraceEquity through the implementation of our newly developed female participation objectives. These will guide us to meet the needs of our people, the industry and our clients. We have also developed ‘Hutchies Hive’ as a culture hub for company members to access support and resources to suit their individual needs.  

Finally, to celebrate the achievements of women at Hutchies we have created the following IWD specific Humans of Hutchies' posters for pinning up around offices and sites.

You can find these posters and more on our Women in Construction page

3 - 8 March / Weather Alert

With the threat of Tropical Cyclone Alfred tracking towards SEQ and forecast to make landfall from Thursday onwards, it is extremely important that we prepare our projects the best we can.

If all projects between Bundaberg and Byron Bay could today start the process of storm / cyclone preparations. 

This should be completed and documented using the Inspections > Site Shut Down - Cyclone Preparation Checklist F-084-C tab located on HammerTech.

Please note, any project that has an erected tower crane will also need to ensure they have updated documented advice from their crane engineer outlining the correct weathervane radius, this should be specific to your project. 

Hutchies' owned and managed cranes can coordinate this through Bradley Beck, all third party supplied cranes will need to actioned with their nominated representatives.

Any questions please call Jimmy Andersen on 0400 220 381 to discuss.
