TESTIMONIAL
For the past 3 years I have been the Construction Manager on the Lendlease MQ2 project in the Docklands Melbourne.
As a manager I am extremely passionate in promoting Social Inclusion & Aboriginal / Torres Strait Islander workers in the construction industry. Throughout this project we partnered with OCC Labour Services as a primary partner to assist in providing a quality tradesman throughout the project with a real focus on Indigenous work men and women. OCC were fantastic in facilitating our requirements, their professionalism, follow up and delivery is something I heavily endorse and look forward to working with Luke and his team moving forward.
