It's NAIDOC Week. 50 Years Deadly! π
This year's NAIDOC Poster is called Paralpi, by artist Zaachariah Fielding. It shows a special place near Mimili on the APY Lands in South Australia, where Elders welcome and teach the kids. We love it!
This week we'll also share some of the deadly Indigenous businesses we work with, and the people who've helped build TEC.

π Big congrats to Matt "Wally" Wallace on smashing out his instrumentation certification!
Wally's only been with us just over 12 months, and he's already the fourth TEC team member to pick up this certification on the job. That's a huge effort.
This means Wally now has the skills to handle calibrations, reporting, fault finding and diagnosis, and PLC programming, on top of a sharper understanding of process and ex*****on across the board.
Outside of work, Wally captains his premier soccer team, Mindil Aces, and he brings that same drive and willingness to take on a challenge straight into the workshop and onto the tools. He's also not afraid to have a laugh (or cause one) with his cheeky sense of humour keeping the team entertained.
We're proud to back our people to grow their skills and confidence in a fast moving industry, and Wally's a great example of what that looks like in action.
Nice work, Wally! π

WE ARE SO PROUD OF THIS GUY! π Darrian Niehsner just finished his Certificate III in Electrotechnology. Four years of juggling work and TAFE to come out the other side a fully qualified, open-ticket electrician.
He came to us in 2021 through the Clontarf Foundation, labouring for a DDR before that. Five years with TEC, and he's done it.
Oh, and he just got married. Qualified and married within a month of each other. Big time.
One of the things we're proud of at TEC is we can give people these opportunities without them having to leave their town or go FIFO. Darian loves getting out to country on weekends. That's not something you can do on a mining roster. Monday to Friday, local work, real career progression. That's what we try to offer.
Congrats mate. Instrumentation next.
