VEC Civil Engineering | 7 “I’ve really concentrated and tried very hard to foster a similar attitude in VEC,” Kees continues. “We bring together highly trained academic people with our labourers, and we make sure they work together and respect each other.” “We’re all in it together,” he says. “That’s the culture we’ve tried to bring into the company.” INDUSTRY RECOGNISED Throughout the years, VEC’s success has been repeatedly recognised through a number of business and excellence awards. Some of their notable wins include a Strategic Innovations Award, a Telstra Small Business Award, as well as numerous others from the Civil Contractors Federation (CCF) and more. Most recently, at the 2012 CCF Earth Awards, VEC took home two high honours – they were a state and national winner in Category 1, and a state winner for Category 4. The Category 1 award, for projects valued up to $1 million, was given to their Stitt River Rail Bridge Transom Replacement. The Category 4 award, for projects valued between $20 million and $75 million, was earned for their noted work on the Kingston Bypass. “We really value that, because it’s recognition for the team,” Kees says of the company’s multiple victories. “It means a lot for the guys that work on those jobs. It means they’re among the best in the business, and it makes them more enthusiastic to do another good job.” Kees credits VEC’s award-winning streak to their flexibility, and their penchant for coming up with alternative, more efficient methods of delivery.
