And we are away! 🚧

Our team has officially commenced construction on the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture Grow Facility and Research Centre for the University of Tasmania in Newnham.

Earthworks are now underway, with our Civil team in full swing as we begin delivering what is set to be an exciting and highly specialised project!

A great milestone to get things underway, we’re looking forward to sharing the progress as this one takes shape💚

We’re proud to recognise Trent Lamprey, who has officially reached an incredible 10 years with Oliver Kelly Group!

Trent’s loyalty and dedication to OKG over the past decade have been unwavering. During this time, he has become one of our leading plumbers and someone our team can consistently rely on to deliver 💚

His commitment to achieving quality outcomes across all aspects of plumbing and drainage is regularly reflected in the positive feedback we receive from clients and those who work alongside him.

Just as importantly, Trent is always willing to share his knowledge and experience, taking the time to teach and mentor the next generation of OKG plumbers coming through the business.

Congratulations on 10 years, Trent! On behalf of everyone at Oliver Kelly Group, thank you for everything you’ve contributed over the past decade. We appreciate having you as part of the team and look forward to what’s ahead! 👏

Wall Pour Milestone Reached!

Our Franklin Water Storage Tank has reached a major milestone, with the 140m³+ wall pour now successfully completed 🏗️

Battling some classic Tasmanian winter weather in the lead up and even on pour day, our team did a terrific job coordinating and delivering this significant pour safely and successfully.

Another important step forward in the Reginoal Towns CWR upgrade for TasWater, and a great result from everyone involved.

A huge effort from our site team, subcontractors and project partners 💚

Be Safe, Be OK! Mental Health Breakfast💚

This morning, we were proud to bring our Be Safe, Be OK! initiative to life with a Mental Health Breakfast, partnering with Nubco to hear Steven Baker’s GRIT Story.

Steven shared an honest and powerful insight into his experiences with adversity, depression, grief and the challenges life can throw our way, along with the strategies he has developed to work through them. His story offered a unique perspective not only as a professional athlete, but as someone willing to speak openly about strength, vulnerability and the importance of asking for support.

A huge thank you to Steven for sharing his story and reinforcing an important message: mental health matters, both in the workplace and well beyond it.

We were incredibly pleased to have more than half of OKG’s 100+ strong workforce attend this morning’s breakfast, demonstrating the value our people place on supporting one another and continuing to build a safer, stronger workplace culture.

A massive thank you to Nubco for partnering with us and supporting the morning, and to the Devonport Football Club for providing the venue to host such an important event.

At OKG, safety is about more than what happens on site. It’s about looking after our people, starting conversations and creating a workplace where everyone feels supported.

Be Safe. Be OK. 💚
