Our "Best For Project" Philosophy

Aug 1, 2013

Vision and Mission

Our Vision:
To fundamentally change the way mine contracting is carried out within our industry, for the benefit of all stakeholders.

Our Mission:
To earn the distinction of being the mining contractor of choice of both Clients and Employees through excellence in safety, performance beyond all expectations, and building of long term relationships based on a best for project philosophy.

 

Corporate Values

Strategies change, values don't. Our corporate values remain constant regardless of strategy, Client, geographical location of work, and other dynamic factors within our business.

• Our belief in working safely and eliminating injuries must pervade everything we do. We are committed to safety because it is the right way to work.
• We want to treat our people well and give them every opportunity to succeed within our business and in life.
• We want to establish and maintain long term relationships with Clients, suppliers, and partners.
• We must be honest with our Clients and base project decisions on what is best for the project.
• We want to be proud of the projects we carry out.
• We strive to work as a team; within our own group, with our Parent company and sister companies, and with our Clients, suppliers and partners.
• We cannot be afraid to try new ideas that do not compromise safety.
• We must be performance driven, on our projects, in our head office, wherever we apply ourselves. This ultimately means results driven and action biased.
