Workforce across all ages skills and backgrounds
Munster Services Group is a great example of putting Queenslanders first and the Queensland Government’s procurement approach by directly contributing to the creation of quality local jobs, buying through local businesses wherever possible, and supporting the local community when supplying directly to Queensland Government.
Based in Logan, the company helps maintain Queensland’s water and wastewater infrastructure, and services heavy industries. It is Queensland owned and operated, with a workforce of over 100 full time permanent employees across all ages, skills and backgrounds.
The company engages with local schools, training institutions and organisations such as Head Space, Salvation Army, Career Shift, Department of Seniors, Disability Services and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships in providing work experience, employment opportunities, trade apprenticeships and professional skills training, targeting the employment of women, particularly into trades.
They support numerous local and international charities and community programs, ranging from WaterAid Australia to domestic and family violence prevention groups, through direct donation and in-kind support.
Eric Guthrie, Managing Director, says, “At Munster we believe that if everyone helps a little, the difference we can make will be a lot. Diversity is our strength, and we aim to drive long-term sustainable business outcomes.”
Munster Services Group was the winner of the Putting Queenslanders First category at the Queensland Government’s Suppliers Awards 2021.
