Home   →  Our Approach

Diversity and Inclusion:

We are building a diverse and inclusive workplace that celebrates differences in gender, background, qualifications and experiences — and also differences in approach and viewpoints. . Diversity and inclusion within our teams also ensure that we bring to the table new ideas and perspectives, harnessing the know-how of our people to get the job done.

Sustainability:

In our view, taking a sustainable approach is not only the right thing to do, it’s what our clients, communities, investors and employees expect from us.


We recognise that every decision and action we take is an opportunity to make a positive impact on the people and world around us.


That’s why we’ve embedded sustainability into our business strategy, our risk management and our culture.


Under the direction of the Leadership Group, we seek to:


  • minimise our environmental impact
  • leverage partnerships to deliver sustainable solutions
  • create stakeholder value through strong leadership and governance
  • improve diversity and inclusion in our workplace

Safety & Health:

At Infrastructure Maintenance & Engineering Australia (IMEA), we put the safety and health of our people, our clients and our communities above all else. 


It is a fundamental guiding principle for everything we do. People are the heart of our business and there is nothing more important than ensuring everyone gets to go home safely every single day. We also care deeply about our impact on the environment and the legacy we leave for future generations. Taking a unified approach to Workplace Health & Safety, Environment & Quality (WHSEQ) across our business helps us deliver our services both safely and sustainably. Our focus is on resilience, accountability, communication, risk management and engagement. Underpinning our approach is the belief that each of us shares in the responsibility for the safety of our people, our projects, the environment and the communities in which we work.  Our leaders have an important role to play – continuously seeking ways to lead, demonstrate and communicate positive safety and health behaviours. They inspire and challenge their teams to continuously improve, every day and in everything that we do.

Our Employees Wellbeing:

At IMEA, we want our employees to be safe, healthy and to thrive. That’s why we foster a culture which puts safety first and supports both the mental, physical and financial wellbeing of our people. In 2016 IMEA launched the “National Employee Assistance Program” – known as “NEAP”.  NEAP provides all employees free and confidential counselling services with experienced psychologists, for challenges such as stress, relationship issues or workplace concerns.

WHSEQ Management systems:

IMEA has in place an adaptable and responsive WHSEQ management system. Our WHSEQ management system includes a range of systems, policies, procedures, work processes and tools that empowers our people to manage risk, safeguard the safety of employees, the environment and the broader community. This also incorporates our High Hazard / High-Risk Protocols (HRPs) - the guidelines for high-risk activities that set the standard required for our workplaces when planning, managing and performing these high-risk activities.


IMEA’s WHSEQ systems underpin our commitment to putting health and safety above all else. Our approach to WHSEQ is acknowledged to be of the highest standard of quality and consistency and this inspires the confidence of our employees, our clients and all the stakeholders that we set out to protect and support.

Certification & Accreditation:

IMEA’s integrated Management System has been independently certified to international safety, quality and environmental standards. These include: 


  • AS/NZS 4801 – Occupational Health & Safety System
  • AS/NZS 9001 – Quality Management System
  • AS/NZS 14001 – Environmental Management System


IMEA undertakes a rigorous annual audit process of our WHSEQ management systems to achieve re-accreditation with industry regulators and certifiers every year.
