Our Hexham team recently rolled up their sleeves for a 'Corporate Cook Up' in partnership with Got Your Back Sista preparing over 200 meals for women and children escaping domestic violence in the Hunter region. As one of Australia’s largest and longest serving organisations in the Hunter, Downer’s employees live, work and play in the region.

Queensland’s most accessible trains. Delivered. 🚄 Our Rail & Transit Systems team is proud to have delivered accessibility upgrades across the entire 75 Queensland New Generation Rollingstock (NGR) train fleet. This program commenced in 2019 and has delivered the most accessible rail fleet Queensland has ever seen. The accessibility upgrades include the addition of a second toilet on all 75 NGR 6-car sets, increasing the size of toilet modules by 10% and installing new functional improvements for people with disabilities. These trains were manufactured by Alstom, who awarded part of the NGR accessibility upgrade program to Downer in Maryborough. Well done and thank you to our Maryborough team, stakeholders and customers for their hard work to deliver such an important project. #accessibility #rollingstock #publictransport Department of Transport and Main Roads, Qtectic, Alstom, Queensland Rail Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gUSEhTns

You don't need to leave the Hunter to have a fulfilling and long-term career 🚄 💻 🔧 Just listen to James Mansell, Engineering Manager for our Rail & Transit Systems team at Cardiff, as he explains how he did just that. Recently, James sat down with Melinda Sietsma and the team at NewyTechPeople to share his career journey from intern to manager. He also talks about our recent innovations at our Cardiff site such as the Electronic Test and Repair Centre that our CEO Peter Tompkins and Premier of NSW Chris Minns recently officially opened. James offers his perspective on the advantages of working in rail manufacturing in Newcastle, market changes in the industry, and advice for those looking to enter the field. He also shares his thoughts on the future of rail, including trends towards local manufacturing, decarbonisation, and improved use of data. It's wonderful to be able to showcase our people and their insights. https://lnkd.in/gyMt5gYy #TheDownerDifference #DownerRail #EngineeringExcellence Hunter Manufacturing Awards Inc.
