For 15 years, Whittens has been proud to help deliver the infrastructure that supports Queensland’s growth and prosperity.

From major concrete structures and earthworks to complex roadworks, our highly skilled teams have completed 11 major projects across the state, delivering almost $300 million in vital infrastructure for Queensland communities and industry.

With a Sunshine Coast office, local employees and strong industry partnerships, Queensland is an important part of the Whittens story.

As the state continues to invest in the infrastructure needed to support growing communities, international events and future growth, we look forward to playing our part in shaping what comes next.

Happy Queensland Day from the Whittens team.

Celebrating WA Day!

Today, we’re reflecting on more than 16 years of delivering major infrastructure across WA’s mining, resources, and defence sectors.

As a 100% Australian, family-owned civil contractor, Whittens is proud to have successfully delivered 31 major projects in some of the state’s most remote and challenging environments, representing more than $734 million in project value. From complex concrete structures and bulk earthworks to critical civil infrastructure, our WA legacy has been built on quality, safety, and the dedication of our skilled and passionate people.

Western Australia has played an important role in the Whittens story, and we look forward to continuing to deliver safe, high-quality outcomes for our clients and communities for many years to come.

Whittens supports the Cooma Rugby Union Football Club because the values of teamwork, resilience, mateship and looking after one another mirror the culture we build on our projects every day.

So, we were proud to attend the club’s annual Old Boys Day last weekend, hear from hilarious guest speaker and former Wallaby Justin Harrison, and watch the Red Devils deliver a dominant 48-12 win over the Yass Rams.

Regional clubs like the Red Devils are the backbone of country communities - bringing people together, building connection and creating a strong sense of pride on and off the field.

We’re proud to stand alongside the club and back the people who keep regional rugby thriving.

We’re shining a light on safety in every tunnel, every task and every shift.

In complex underground environments, safe systems of work are just the starting point.

At Whittens, “Keeping Our Mates Safe” means looking out for each other, speaking up when something’s not right, staying alert to workplace hazards and making sure everyone goes home safely.

From planning and preparation to the quality delivery of works onsite, our teams continue to lead with accountability, teamwork and care for their mates.

Meet Craig Fabar! From commercial concreting in Newcastle to now leading crews on one of Australia’s most iconic infrastructure projects, Craig Fabar takes every step of the career journey in his stride.

A long-term Whittens employee and keen runner, Craig has built his skills and experience across a range of projects and now as a Construction Foreman, he coordinates day-to-day works for the concrete crew. From planning pours with supervisors and engineers, liaising with the batching plant, and working closely with engineers and client QA teams, Craig works hard to ensure every pour meets the highest standards.

He says the real challenge working with concrete is that things don’t always go to plan, and it’s problem-solving under pressure that keeps the job interesting.

Why does he enjoy working with Whittens? “The culture is second to none. The mateship onsite is awesome - everyone helps each other out to make projects a success. I’ve made lifelong friends here.”

The Whittens value that resonates most with Craig is Passion - the shared drive, from top to bottom, to deliver quality work and have fun doing it.

Craig’s progression from concreter to foreman is a testament to the opportunities available at Whittens for those willing to learn, grow and bring passion to the job.

Meet Jason Hodnett!

Jason joined Whittens in 2017 as a formwork carpenter and didn’t stop there. With the opportunity to progress and develop his skills, he’s stepped up into leadership roles as a Leading Hand, Foreman, and most recently Supervisor on major infrastructure projects in WA’s Pilbara and regional NSW.

In 2023, he proudly completed his Diploma in Training and Assessing, further strengthening his career.

Says Jason: “I love working for Whittens - I work with really good people. I definitely feel part of the furniture here and am always supported and encouraged.”

Originally from Carrigtwohill in Cork, Jason lives in Baldivis in Perth and is a man of many interests. Whether it’s playing golf, DJ-ing, a game of darts (he once played the legendary world champion Phil "The Power" Taylor in an exhibition match!), or enjoying a good Guinness or two, he knows how to make the most of life.

We’re pleased to have Jason on our team - a great example of growth, mateship, and dedication at Whittens!

Meet Tom Wallace!
From starting out as a Steelfixer to becoming a Senior Supervisor, Tom Wallace’s journey with Whittens is a story of commitment, hard work, growth, and living our values every day.

Now leading the planning and ex*****on of reinforcement tunnel works, Tom’s role covers everything from tooling, deliveries and site inspections, to safety, pre-starts, and daily checks.

What drives him? The teamwork. “I enjoy the different challenges each project brings and how our team adapts to get the best outcome possible,” says Tom. “We back and encourage each other, and that makes all the difference.”

For Tom, Whittens’ values aren’t just words on a wall: “From the directors down, everyone stands by them. It’s very important knowing we’re all on the same page.”

His career has taken him across Australia, and in his downtime, Tom’s passion projects keep him just as busy. He’s restoring an old XY Falcon, enjoys riding his Harley, and following rugby league. He’s travelled the world with his wife – from walking the Great Wall of China and visiting Mt Fuji, to setting foot in the White House and even Alcatraz prison (as a visitor!).

Thanks for bringing your leadership, loyalty, and mateship to every project Tom.

Today, Whittens was proud to host a Cooma Women in Business lunch, bringing together 60 women shaping business, community and industry across the Snowy Monaro.

Guests connected, shared experiences and were inspired by Kate Christie - writer, speaker and best-selling author of The Life List - who delivered an engaging, interactive workshop: How To Change Your Life in 90 Seconds.

Hosted by CEO Louise Whitten, the event reinforced the importance of supporting the communities in which we live and work.

Louise said: “Much of our work takes place in regional and remote communities, and wherever we go, it’s important to us that we contribute positively. Today is about giving back to the businesswomen who help this region thrive.”
