We are excited to announce the launch our new LEAD program attended by our first cohort of people managers from across the country. Spanning 8 months, the LEAD program features 8 modules designed to facilitate knowledge transfer, drive sustainable change, and develop core leadership behaviours that enhance engagement and productivity. Developed in-house by our People and Culture team, this program is tailored to our unique culture, values, and goals, fostering a sense of ownership and commitment among participants. As the first program within the Precise Academy, LEAD represents our commitment to creating a learning and development environment specifically designed for our needs. We look forward to seeing our team members apply their new skills and share their experiences at the next session in May.

We have partnered with FireSense to deliver the largest networked digital installation in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Essendon Football club held their season opening event for their business networking group last Tuesday. As a new member, this was Precise Air’s first event mixing with likeminded members while hearing from AFLW Senior Coach Natalie Wood, AFLW Co- Captain Steph Cain, AFL players, Matt Guelfi and Nic Martin. Cate Campbell discussed her long and successful swimming career that included three Olympic games, where a highlight was her amazingly inspiring story about how, despite being disappointed at finishing 7th in the 50m freestyle final, she bounced back to help the Australian team win the 4 x 100 relay in Tokyo just 30 minutes later.

We’re proud to sponsor Australian Healthcare Week 2025! This is the biggest and most influential healthcare event in the southern hemisphere, with over 8,000 visitors from around Australia expected to attend and 100 exhibitors. It will take place on 19-20 MARCH 2025 at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Darling Harbour. Visit the Precise Air team at stand 168. We’ll be showcasing our full suite of services that help the owners and managers of buildings in the healthcare sector to mitigate risk, remain compliant and achieve healthy business outcomes.

Last week we marked a significant achievement as we officially hand over the Snowy Hydro Climate Room to the Snowy Hydro team. As Principal Contractor, we delivered the full design and construct, collaborating with a multidisciplinary design team—including architects, BCA consultants, structural, mechanical, electrical, and fire engineers—while managing all trades. Building a massive climate-controlled room, size 100mx70m, inside an existing warehouse in 3 months over the holiday season required meticulous planning, coordination, and approvals. A, seamless, well-planned approach and close collaboration with stakeholders made all the difference in delivering on time, with zero injuries. Snowy 2.0 is a major expansion of the Snowy Scheme. It will provide on-demand power generation and largescale energy storage, increasing the generation capacity of the Snowy Scheme by almost 50%. The climate-controlled facility plays a critical role in preserving key hydroelectric turbine components until the site is ready to receive them. To maintain the integrity of this equipment, the temperature-controlled room was designed to maintain a temperature and humidity of +5 and +25 degrees Centigrade and less than 50% relative humidity. Together, we are helping Snowy 2.0 stay powered for the future. A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this project a success! […]

This week Dan Campbell and the NSW team officially welcomed some of our newest Precise Air Aboriginal Pathways (PAAP) students into their apprenticeships. This milestone was celebrated with the support of Sharon Taylor and Emma McDonald from the TAFE NSW Aboriginal Education and Engagement team, who will be providing guidance and educational support to the students as they begin their TAFE journey. It was also a pleasure to meet Craig Layer and Riley Layer from Ungooroo. Through the Barranggirra program, Ungooroo and Aboriginal mentoring organisations around NSW will offer ongoing mentoring and cultural support to our apprentices, ensuring a strong foundation for success. Thank you also to John Bailey for his leadership and guidance in helping us create a welcoming environment for our new apprentices as they begin their careers with Precise Air. To all of our apprentices, we’re excited to support your growth and providing the training, mentorship, and opportunities to help them thrive in their careers.

We’re excited to celebrate ten years of our Gold Coast branch, made possible by a dedicated local team. Early on we understood the importance of having “locals servicing locals”. Positioning our labour locally has resulting in lasting partnerships within the Education, Health, Government, Commercial and Retail Sectors, with many relationships as old as the Branch. We now have a team of over 32, and our service capabilities have grown alongside the team underpinned by a State and National structure offering a full range of maintenance, reactive and minor works capability for the Gold Coast Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry. “Our team’s commitment, location and expertise have been the driving force behind a decade of success on the Gold Coast – thank you for making this branch successful” David Ross, General Manager Precise Air – QLD/NT Locals servicing locals.

PAAP 2024 has come to a close, and we’re proud to celebrate the achievements of this year’s graduates from the Precise Air Aboriginal Pathways Program. Thank you to everyone involved in making this so successful! PAAP was definitely a highlight for 2024! In partnership with TAFE NSW and NSW Police, this program has provided participants with the skills and cultural support needed to pursue careers in HVAC and electrical trades. Successful candidates will join our team in 2025 to begin their careers in these essential trades. We want to thank everyone involved in making this program a success, including Sharon Taylor, Emma McDonald, Gary Jarret, Aunty Ros, the teachers at TAFE NSW and the Precise Air PAAP team. Your contributions have been invaluable. Congratulations to the graduates, and best of luck in your interviews. We look forward to welcoming the successful applicants into the Precise Air team next year!

Congratulations to the National Indigenous Rugby 7s Sevens Lloyd McDermott Rugby Development Team (LMRDT) on a great effort at this year’s Singapore Cricket Club Sevens. The team won a tricky quarter final against the team from Japan, bowing out in the semi-final to eventual runners up Royal Town Warriors from Malaysia. The players were great ambassadors for their sport, their organisation, and their mob! LMRDT is committed to empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth through rugby. Their programs provide pathways for young Indigenous athletes to excel both on and off the field, fostering leadership, cultural identity, and personal development. We are looking forward to the Open Women’s competition in Dubai, and the U16 and U18 boys and girls.

We’re pleased to announce that Peter McKinnon has been promoted to the position of General Manager – Information Technology. Peter has played a key role in developing our technology division, which now has a team of 10, and has contributed significantly to our growth and our client systems integration solutions. As we continue our focus on technology, systems and data security, we also welcome Matt Lucki as IT Operations Manager. Matt brings experience in IT governance, implementing ITSM frameworks, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring compliance with industry security standards like ISO 27000. Congratulations to you both!

We are honoured to have won the award for Leaders in Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) at the JLL Vendor Partner Awards 2024 for the Precise Air Aboriginal Pathways (PAAP) program. This award recognises the strength of the program in delivering education, mentoring and employment opportunities for Indigenous communities. We could not have developed this program without the tremendous efforts, enthusiasm and commitment of TAFE NSW’s Aboriginal Education and Engagement team. Thank you to Sharon Taylor, Emma McDonald and Gary Jarrett for your ongoing support and helping us to continue to grow this program. We are excited to be running the PAAP again later this month in Grafton and offering students the opportunity to join the 5 students we employed last year in apprenticeships with Precise Air. Thank you to JLL and the ESG team for recognising the value of programs that support efforts in contributing to Closing the Gap initiatives. If you would like to find out more about the PAAP, please contact Kelly Borskjaer, Group Marketing and Communications Manager.
