#Passionate, creative and united — driven to achieve excellence
We recognise the drive and commitment of our talented people who achieve results that are the hallmarks of our long-standing reputation.
Our employees describe the culture at BESIX Watpac as akin to a family. And this much is true. We teach each other, serve one another and share challenges and rewards. We support and respect each other, encourage successes, and provide a setting for personal growth.
We deliberately keep our structure flat so that we are working together effortlessly as one team. This ‘human-sized’ approach means we can remain agile and connected, working smarter to achieve better outcomes.
The personal touch is embedded in everything we do and is the hallmark of how we treat our employees, clients and stakeholders.
Around the globe there are 15 000 of us spread across 25 countries. Here in Australia, our workforce is close to 600 employees.
We are connected under one common purpose; it is what unites us across geographical and business borders. Together, we excel in creating sustainable solutions for a better world.
