Your Career at DIALOG Fitzroy

I have been with DIALOG Fitzroy since August 2018 and have been fortunate enough to have witnessed the immense growth of our Engineering & Design division. DIALOG Fitzroy gave me the opportunity to utilise my engineering and project management skills to support and assist in the professional growth of the high calibre engineering & design team.

What I enjoy most at DIALOG Fitzroy is the multitude and wide range of personal and professional growth opportunities that is given to every individual. I, like other individuals at DIALOG Fitzroy, have been given the opportunity and the choice to take on more responsibilities, acquire additional skills and to explore other roles & opportunities within the firm. DIALOG Fitzroy have professionals and tradesmen that come from many different backgrounds and have a wide range of experience & skills. Our engineering & design team works closely with the fabrication & construction team right from the onset of a project and hence have a very good understanding of the implications of our designs on the final installation. This means we continuously are learning and improving the way we work to deliver turnkey projects with minimal project interruptions. In addition to accessing all this great experience and knowledge, we have a very high calibre engineering & design team who provide a great wealth of information and insight on successful designs. This makes my job very interesting as I am continuously learning and acquiring new knowledge and growing confidence in delivering high quality projects.

Lastly but not least, I have had the opportunity to be trained to use great tools and software to maintain and establish customer relations, track projects, and explore new opportunities. I consider myself fortunate enough to have been given the opportunity to learn and utilise all these tools to enhance my overall performance.

So, if you are an individual who is exploring new opportunities, wanting to learn more, or wanting to fully utilise your experience, don’t hesitate to join our team.

I was born and raised in Taranaki and started my career as a scaffolder/rigger in 2017 as a scaffold labourer.

I decided I wanted to become a scaffolder as the work offered to me would be physical and would also challenge me. Along with that I was able to get paid, all while I learned the trade!

I have really enjoyed my job for DIALOG Fitzroy because of the physical aspect of scaffolding and the challenges that have also come with the job, also being able to travel around Taranaki and parts of the country with a team of people who now I see much like family.

For anyone looking to join the scaffolding & rigging industry DIALOG Fitzroy is the right move because the people are good, the pay is great and getting paid to learn is even better.

Being a scaffolder isn’t just a career it’s a lifestyle!

I began scaffolding in 2011 as a 19-year-old spanner hand. With no site experience, no real understanding of the industry, and I sure hadn’t been 40 metres in the air in a harness erecting scaffold to replace a pipe spool!

What I did have though was a passion to learn. I was driven by the unknown, what would the next day bring.

Scaffolding & rigging has taken me all over New Zealand and Australia, onshore and on offshore rigs & platforms, the experiences I have shared, the people I have met.

Scaffolding is more than a job, it really is a lifestyle. Its physical, challenging, and it not only engages the body but the mind as well, through problem solving. Born and raised in Taranaki, I travel around our Maunga daily because the nature of our industry allows that.

I am an example of what hard work, commitment and a passion to learn can do for somebody, from that 19-year-old spanner hand to now co-ordinating multiple projects and the best part for me is I am now in a position to give back through my role as the DIALOG Fitzroy Scaffold Trainer. If this sounds like you, or something you may be interested in, as well as being paid to learn our trade then DIALOG is definitely the right company to assist you with that.
