Hear from our people
We spoke to our people - from Project Managers, Supervisors, Commercial Managers and more - and asked them what they love most about living in Western Australia. Hear what they had to say below.
Photos appearing in this series were shot on Wadjemup, Rottnest Island, Western Australia, which was known as an important meeting place and ceremonial site for the Whadjuk people. We acknowledge and pay respects to the Whadjuk people’s ancestors and their Elders past and present. We also thank the Rottnest Island Authority for permitting our visit. Laing O’Rourke is not working on Wadjemup – we work and play in WA - the photos in the series represent the latter.
“My favourite thing about working for Laing O’Rourke is the opportunity to work across diverse projects – there is a lot of opportunity in Perth at the moment. I have four kids, and we enjoy all that Perth has within reach, from the coast with beautiful beaches to the south for amazing fishing opportunities.”
Cam - Section Manager
“I love everything about Perth. The culture is fantastic and the people, both at Laing O’Rourke and in general, make a massive difference. The work-life balance is also amazing; you’re 15 minutes away from any sort of adventure, whether you want to go for a hike or spend time on the water. The culture at Laing O’Rourke makes it, by far, one of the best workplaces I’ve ever been a part of. Not only does it have a ‘family’ feel because everybody cares for one another, but there are also endless opportunities for growth and development throughout your career."
Michelle - Project Manager
“There are so many things to love about WA but for me, it’s the lifestyle; the surfing and fishing trips north to Gnarloo or south to Margaret River are spectacular. There is a lot of work to be done and this is a special opportunity to try something different. With Laing O’Rourke’s support of your life outside of work, you can be yourself and embark on a rewarding adventure.”
Simon - Senior Project Engineer
“The lifestyle in Perth is great and the people are also super friendly. There is always something to do on the weekends; you can play sport, go hiking, check out the amazing beaches or hang out with the quokkas on Rottnest Island. Laing O’Rourke provides pathways for women and advocates for our career progression. I’ve been very well supported."
Cecily - Project Engineer
