Balpara

It is exciting to be part of major project work in the North East of Victoria. Check out some details below and our teams increasing involvement in NELP! Victoria's Big Build - The North East Link project.

The ‘Balpara Emerging Leaders’ programme – is an initiative to identify and develop Balpara’s promising future leaders, over the course of 8 weeks. This program has now concluded with all nine participants completing the four modules: intro to leadership, building employee engagement, understanding yourself and managing performance & development. We congratulate our emerging leaders and look forward to their continued growth together with Balpara. #emerging #leaders

Engineering Down Under 🔩- Walking into the office early this week, I was struck by the growth in the number of vehicles our business operated, and proportionately the volume of design, auditing and surveying work our teams were engaged in. I recall the days at Balpara when we had a small fleet and site activities were a novelty… It made me do a quick stocktake of some interesting facts I had on hand: ·        Our UTEs have helped us deliver with dedication over 26,735 projects across Australia ·        They have serviced with a smile over 295 valued customers ·        They have traversed the topography of over 942 surveyed powerline poles ·        They have tracked the trenches of over 864km of designed and detailed electrical cables and conduits. Check out what our teams at Balpara have been up to while accruing Km’s in UTE’s across our nation! https://lnkd.in/gWPQBZrn #Engineeringdownunder

Engineering Down Under 🔩- I recently read that the demand for engineering skills still exceeds the supply, and despite an increase in engineers over the past 5 years, 70% of the growth in engineering has been from overseas-born engineers. We are all aware of the looming engineering shortages predicted, and can agree that migration will continue to play a critical role in engineering skills shortages. Balpara is launching another internal recruitment campaign to help address the engineering skills shortfall. We are on the lookout for Electrical Engineers and Project Managers, to sponsor under the 482 VISA (Temporary Skill Shortage) There is no age limit for a TSS visa; however, there is for Permanent Residency. If you know anyone interested in seeking 482 VISA sponsorship, reach out…. across the globe! https://lnkd.in/gRXa278s #Engineeringdownunder

Engineering Down Under 🔩 – Reviewing our quarterly Balpara newsletters, I noticed some helpful trends in ORs and CTRs (Open Rates, and Click Through Rates). It got me thinking as to why some newsletters had such spikes of interest over others…. There is a lot of research around social content optimisation, and a hierarchy to follow that tends to trend better: 1.    High Quality Visuals 2.    Authenticity 3.    Storytelling 4.    Educational… I know there are more, but these were considered optimisation factors that tend to trend! I wonder if others have found alternative factors with a strong correlation to ORs and CTRs? It was no surprise then that our Balpara newsletter featuring a video flythrough showcasing the marvel of Melbourne CBD’s underground labyrinth of intricate electrical infrastructure powering the city received so much interest. This exciting project uses LiDAR to capture a rarely-seen environment through a series of incredible 3D laser scans. To date, this has been the most opened and clicked-through newsletter in our history. If you want to see the article published, the link has been provided below. #Engineeringdownunder
