Committed to Growth, Committed to Diversity
At Growthbuilt, we are in the business of building on growth – not just in construction, but in the lives, communities and the careers of our employees. We believe innovation and diversity, underpinned by integrity, is what drives our growth.
We recognise that the future of our industry includes an equal workforce; and vital to its success is creating a talented, diverse and inclusive culture. For more than 13 years, Growthbuilt has been building on projects that support Australia’s diverse society; building homes, offices and infrastructure as a foundation to empower people and their lifestyles. As a company, Growthbuilt is committed to supporting the inclusion of women within the industry. We’re proud to be recognised as an equal-opportunity employer, with women making up approximately 25 per cent of our workforce across leadership and site-based positions – well above the industry average of 11.7 per cent (Workplace Gender Equality Agency, 2016). What’s more – we’re striving towards our aspirational target of 40 per cent women in our total workforce by 2019!
Growthbuilt is taking a market leading stance to address the underrepresentation of women in leadership roles across the construction industry – moving from our current leadership base of 20 per cent, to a more ambitious target of 30 per cent to be held by women by 2019. Growthbuilt is committed to building Australia, and to building the careers of women in our workforce. We would love to hear from you if you’re committed to building on your own growth.
