Mayoral Award for Inframax high achiever<br />

Congratulations to Shane Burrett of Inframax Construction Ltd in Te Kuiti, who received<br />

the Waitomo High Achievers Award at the recent Mayoral Graduations for Waitomo<br />

and Otorohanga Districts.<br />

Shane is currently a Quarry Manager at Inframax,<br />

and was previously based in the roading division.<br />

During his time in roading, he completed a National<br />

Certificate in Civil Construction Supervision and<br />

became an <strong>InfraTrain</strong> Registered Assessor.<br />

The Waitomo High Achievers Award recognises<br />

individuals with an outstanding commitment to<br />

training, and who are well respected in their industry.<br />

Shane was chosen for the Award because of his<br />

motivation and enthusiasm, and willingness to<br />

share his knowledge with others.<br />

Shane said he was “extremely surprised” by his win.<br />

“I had no idea I was going to receive an award –<br />

but it was a real honour.”<br />

He explains, “I’ve been involved<br />

in training young people for<br />

a long time now. Becoming<br />

an <strong>InfraTrain</strong> Assessor is an<br />

extension of the training, and is<br />

another way to give something<br />

back to the industry.”<br />

Shane continues, “I like to see<br />

people get ahead – especially<br />

young people. Often they just<br />

need some encouragement and<br />

pointing in the right direction to<br />

achieve their goals. Being able to<br />

help them through that process<br />

is very rewarding.”<br />

<strong>InfraTrain</strong> Regional Advisor<br />

Adrian Gozdz feels that Shane<br />

was a deserving winner of the<br />

Award. He says, “Not only did<br />

Shane work extremely hard on<br />

his own National Certificate, but he is passionate<br />

about helping other people to succeed. It is people<br />

like Shane who are leaving a legacy for the industry,<br />

by passing on their skills to the next generation.”<br />

Adrian continues, “Inframax are very supportive<br />

of industry training, and <strong>InfraTrain</strong> acknowledges<br />

the encouragement they give to Shane and all of<br />

their other trainees. The company prides itself on<br />

providing opportunities for its employees. The Te Kuiti<br />

branch alone currently has twelve people enrolled in<br />

<strong>InfraTrain</strong> qualifications, ranging from introductory<br />

skills to supervision, and health and safety to civil<br />

engineering.”<br />

<strong>BULLETIN</strong><br />

Skills for Canterbury<br />

The Built Environment Training Alliance (BETA) has<br />

launched its Skills for Canterbury project, which<br />

aims to ensure there are enough workers sufficiently<br />

trained to support the Christchurch rebuild.<br />

The Alliance, which is made up of eight Industry Training<br />

Organisations (ITOs) including <strong>InfraTrain</strong>, will work closely<br />

with Government, industry and training providers to meet skill<br />

requirements in the building, construction and infrastructure<br />

industries.<br />

<strong>InfraTrain</strong> Chief Executive Philip Aldridge says, “The demand<br />

for workers in the region will increase rapidly over the next<br />

twelve months, when the large construction and infrastructure<br />

companies tender for contracts. These companies will need<br />

significantly more workers than they have presently, and many<br />

of the job roles require substantial training, which will delay<br />

the rebuilding process.”<br />

Philip continues, “We need to start training now, to meet<br />

anticipated demand for skilled workers. In the first phase<br />

of the project we will identify workers and employers for<br />

tailored training programmes in the region. This work will be<br />

carried out by a multi-ITO team, including <strong>InfraTrain</strong> Regional<br />

Manager Fiona Malloch.<br />

<strong>InfraTrain</strong> is also currently involved in a short term Ministry<br />

of Social Development contract to arrange pre-employment<br />

programmes and place people into work. In the next few<br />

months alone it expects to arrange training for up to 100<br />

people who have been displaced from jobs in other industries<br />

as a result of the earthquake.<br />

Training will be delivered by local providers and will enable<br />

participants to gain essential skills for civil construction work,<br />

such as endorsements for Wheels, Tracks and Rollers, Site Safe<br />

accreditation, and a TC1 Card. On successful completion of the<br />

programme, <strong>InfraTrain</strong> will assist participants into roles in the<br />

civil construction sector.<br />

The first programmes begin in June, and will be delivered over a<br />

one week period. Programmes covering a more comprehensive<br />

range of skills, lasting two and twelve weeks, are planned by<br />

<strong>InfraTrain</strong> for later in the year.<br />

If you need new people in Christchurch, or you wish to upskill your existing staff, please contact:<br />

Fiona Malloch, <strong>InfraTrain</strong> Regional Manager, on 021 844 549 or email: fiona@infratrain.co.nz<br />

<strong>InfraTrain</strong> has announced the winners of the 2011 Outward Bound Scholarship for Modern Apprentices.<br />

They are Ashley Higgins of Higgins Contractors Ltd in Palmerston<br />

North and Everardus Schreurs of Fulton Hogan in Auckland.<br />

Ashley and Everardus<br />

will take part in the 2011<br />

BETA Classic Outward<br />

Bound course, which is<br />

being held in Anakiwa<br />

from 3 to 23 September.<br />

The Scholarships will<br />

also include travel to the<br />

Marlborough Sounds<br />

Ashley Higgins<br />

and include a $500<br />

Kathmandu gear allowance for each winner.<br />

<strong>InfraTrain</strong> offered the Scholarships in conjunction with BETA (the<br />

Built Environment Training Alliance), which comprises Industry<br />

sectors. They will help Ashley and Everardus to develop their<br />

leadership skills, and provide a shared experience with people<br />

from other trades.<br />

<strong>InfraTrain</strong> Chief Executive Philip Aldridge, says, “Outward Bound<br />

Scholarships are one of the ways in which <strong>InfraTrain</strong> supports<br />

the development of<br />

leadership skills in the<br />

infrastructure industry.<br />

We believe that growing<br />

talented young people is<br />

essential for our industry<br />

to be productive and<br />

successful, now and in<br />

the future.”<br />

Everardus Schreurs<br />

Philip adds, “The<br />

standard of Scholarship applications was extremely high again<br />

this year, and we are encouraged by the number of employers<br />

who recognise the value of industry training and Modern<br />

Apprenticeship programmes. Ashley and Everardus stood out as<br />

deserving winners of the Scholarship, and we believe they will<br />

benefit immensely from the Outward Bound course.”<br />

We’ll be catching up with Ashley and Everardus later in the year<br />

to hear how they got on!<br />

Slinging, lifting and placing course<br />

The <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> Contractors’ Federation (NZCF)<br />

has created a new course for slinging, lifting and<br />

placing, with the support of <strong>InfraTrain</strong>.<br />

The course is designed for:<br />

• Operators who are using an excavator for lifting<br />

• Workers engaged in attaching loads, working directly<br />

with suspended loads or acting as dogmen<br />

• Management and supervisory staff responsible for<br />

overseeing these people<br />

The course meets Department of Labour (DoL) compliance<br />

requirements under the revised Crane Code. The Code has<br />

been in place for one year now, and in event of an incident,<br />

DoL will be looking for evidence that operator(s) were suitably trained in slinging, lifting and placing.<br />

The content of the course is aligned to unit standard 20875 – Demonstrate knowledge of slinging, lifting<br />

and placing with an excavator or loader. <strong>InfraTrain</strong> encourages all participants to get assessed and have<br />

the unit standard registered on their Record of Learning. This will provide formal recognition of their<br />

knowledge.<br />

Courses are being held at locations across the North and South Island throughout June and July. Further<br />

details are available at www.nzcontractors.co.nz<br />

The cost is $165pp + GST for NZCF members, and $265pp + GST for non members, with discounts<br />

available for groups of five or more. Registration of the unit standard is an additional $60pp + GST.<br />

To enrol contact Tricia Sampson, email: tricia@nzcontractors.co.nz, or phone (04) 496 3278.

<strong>BULLETIN</strong><br />

Qualifications key to growing skills<br />

Waikato District Council has a clear vision for building its civil engineering capabilities. As part of this vision,<br />

the Council provides opportunities for staff to undertake professional development, with a strong focus on<br />

gaining qualifications and practical skills.<br />

Historically, the Council has had difficulty in recruiting experienced,<br />

qualified engineers. As a result, they have tended to employ people<br />

who are partly-qualified or from non-engineering backgrounds,<br />

and train them in-house. The Council has increased its capability<br />

considerably by using this approach, and has been able to tailor its<br />

training to build the specific skills it requires.<br />

Natalie Mayne is one of many staff who joined the Council at entry<br />

level and has worked their way up. She initially worked part-time<br />

while she completed a <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> Diploma in Engineering (Civil)<br />

at Wintec, and has progressed to become an Assistant Engineer.<br />

Natalie is based in the Roading Engineering Division. She is<br />

involved in all aspects of roading design, and is the Engineers<br />

Representative for a contract which is valued at around $500,000.<br />

A large part of Natalie’s role involves dealing with different parties<br />

– land owners, power companies and contractors – to make sure<br />

things run smoothly.<br />

Natalie is now working towards a National Diploma in Civil<br />

Engineering (Applied), which builds on the engineering theory<br />

covered in the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> Diploma.<br />

Natalie explains. “The Applied Diploma recognises practical skills,<br />

and is achieved on the job. It covers a wide range of work, so I need<br />

to plan ahead so that I can gain experience in all of the required<br />

areas. If there is something outside the scope of my department,<br />

I’ll arrange a rotation with another area of the Council to get the<br />

experience I need.”<br />

Natalie adds, “I’m hoping to achieve my Applied Diploma within the<br />

next year. This will make me eligible for registration as an Associate<br />

Member of the Institute of Professional Engineers <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong><br />

(IPENZ). Some time in the future I hope to do a Bachelors Degree in<br />

Engineering.”<br />

Engineering Manager Campbell Moore says that the Council places<br />

a particular emphasis on practical, applied skills. “The National<br />

Diploma in Civil Engineering (Applied) is ideal for our staff because<br />

it is flexible and is completed on the job. We try to involve our<br />

staff in a range of interesting projects, and expose them to project<br />

management quite early on so they can gain the broad range of<br />

experience they need to achieve the qualification.”<br />

Campbell adds, “Having staff with the Applied Diploma benefits the<br />

Council because it provides an assurance of quality to our clients.<br />

However, the greatest benefit is to our staff themselves. Knowing<br />

they have that qualification gives a great boost to their confidence,<br />

which benefits them in all areas of their work.”<br />

<strong>BULLETIN</strong><br />

Recognising skills at<br />

Multi Civil Contractors Ltd<br />

Congratulations to Jim Ginty, John Maika, Mathew Mua and Mita Henare<br />

of Multi Civil Contractors Ltd in Wellington, who recently achieved their<br />

National Certificate in Infrastructure Pipelaying.<br />

For information about<br />

careers or training,<br />

contact your nearest<br />

<strong>InfraTrain</strong> Regional<br />

Advisor:<br />

The group gained the qualification<br />

through Recognition of Current<br />

Competency (RCC), which recognises<br />

the existing skills and knowledge of<br />

experienced contractors.<br />

Director Jim Ginty says, “Most of us have<br />

been in the industry a long time, and it<br />

has been useful to get formal recognition<br />

of our skills and knowledge. We are all<br />

Registered Drainlayers, so it made sense to<br />

get a ticket for our pipelaying work too.<br />

Being qualified in both of these areas will<br />

help our company attributes.”<br />

<strong>InfraTrain</strong> Training Advisor, Red Thompson,<br />

says, “I am delighted that Jim and his team<br />

have achieved their National Certificates.<br />

It was great to be able to offer the RCC<br />

process, and it was the ideal way for them<br />

to be recognised for their skills.<br />

“Jeremy Palmer, the group’s Assessor,<br />

provided guidance which allowed the<br />

group to show their individual skills and<br />

unique experiences in their portfolio of<br />

evidence. They also completed off-job unit<br />

standards for working in confined spaces,<br />

and knowledge of pathogens and disease<br />

control, at Opus International Consultants<br />

in Seaview.<br />

Red adds, “Jim and his team have<br />

worked extremely hard, and <strong>InfraTrain</strong><br />

congratulates them on their achievements.<br />

Multi Civil has really embraced RCC, and<br />

another employee is currently working<br />

towards the National Certificate in Civil<br />

Construction Supervision through the<br />

same process.”<br />
