Draper's Civil Contracting

👷‍♂️ MEET THE TEAM 👷‍♂️
This month, we're introducing Brent Wright our HSEQ & Sustainability Manager at Draper's Civil Contracting.

Brent has been part of the Draper's team for 24 years, starting as a Labourer before progressing through a variety of on-site roles and into Project Management, where he spent the past 15 years successfully delivering civil and gas infrastructure projects.

More recently, Brent transitioned into the role of HSEQ & Sustainability Manager, where he is responsible for strengthening the company's health, safety, environmental and quality systems while driving sustainability initiatives that deliver socially responsible outcomes for Draper's, our clients, and the local community.

💬 What does Brent enjoy most about working at Draper's?
"The stability and long-term opportunities the company provides. Over the past 24 years, I've had the opportunity to grow my career through a range of roles, and Draper's has continually supported my professional development. It's rewarding to work for a company that invests in its people and creates opportunities to build a long-term career."

💬 Why did you choose the civil construction industry?
"It wasn't initially a deliberate career choice. With several family members already working in the civil construction industry and at Draper's, it was a natural opportunity to join the team."

💬What do you enjoy outside of work?
"Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and giving back to the community through volunteering. I'm currently the Vice President of Try Boys Basketball Club, where I help support the club's growth and development, and I also serve as a Committee Member with the Try Boys Brigade. It's rewarding to be involved in organisations that make a positive difference in the local community."

We're proud to have had Brent as part of the Draper's team for the past 24 years and greatly appreciate the expertise, commitment, and enthusiasm he has brought to the wide variety of roles he has undertaken throughout his career. His dedication and willingness to embrace new challenges have made a lasting contribution to both the business and the communities we serve.

💙 Men's Health Week at Draper's Civil Contracting 💙

This week we've been recognising Men's Health Week, taking the opportunity to remind our team that looking after your health—both physically and mentally—is just as important as getting the job done safely.

Construction can be a demanding industry, so we encourage everyone to take a moment to check in on themselves and their mates. A simple conversation can make a real difference.

A big thank you to Fruit2Work Aus for supplying our team with fresh fruit and some tasty treats this week to help support the initiative.

Let's continue to make health, wellbeing and looking out for one another part of our everyday culture.
