Rimic Civil | 9 Rimic Civil has a commitment to innovation, which attracts a lot of younger people. Wright says he is always eager to bring on engineers at the beginning of their careers. That way the company can help them develop the necessary skillsets – and become accustomed to the corporate culture – right from the word go. “And we’re certainly being as innovative as we can be for the future,” Wright adds. “We’re training our staff – we have guys doing advanced pipe-laying courses – and we’re right up to speed with the latest technology.” “You get left behind if you’re not up to speed, so we’re learning all the time,” he says. For a current job on the Regional Rail Link in Melbourne, Rimic Civil bought a rock splitting machine, which they imported from Japan. At the moment, that machine is the only one of its kind in all of Australia. They also have an Iseki Microtunnelling slurry system, which is rare to see in the Melbourne area. Wright personally makes numerous overseas trips to investigate the latest technologies and equipment, so Rimic Civil can be among the first to adopt them. `In the long term, Wright sees Rimic Civil continuing to progress in terms of innovation, and also in terms of growth. His vision for the company includes acquiring more staff and possibility expanding into property development. In general, however, Wright mainly wants to see the company continue to excel on challenging projects – that is what has made them successful for more than 30 years, and he sees it making them successful for another 30 years to come.
