Winslow continues to offer opportunities to all members of the community within which we operate.
And supporting women is part of the Winslow Way.
Our partnerships to provide employment and career opportunities has seen Winslow collaborate with businesses training and upskilling women.
Sindhusri “Sri” Nimmala came to Melbourne from India four years ago to complete her Masters in Civil Engineering at Central Queensland University.
She spent her first seven months as a graduate working in a bottle shop because she couldn’t find work as an engineer until Sheforce connected her with Winslow Infrastructure.
Sheforce is a recruitment and labour hire business that offers training and upskilling women to find opportunities in construction.
Sri now works in the civil construction industry as a graduate engineer with Winslow, where she is working on major projects.
“It’s not a normal job, it’s my dream job that I’ve pictured for many years,” Sri said.
“Coming into my exact field, I’m so happy. I’ve just been made permanent too, I’m so happy.”
Sri knows how hard it can be for international students to find work in their chosen field, while seeing more women entering construction emboldens her.
Working in an industry she has coveted for so long is so thrilling Sri said she bounces out of bed each morning.
“I love working with everyone, and I’m loving what I’m doing - this is what I’ve dreamt of for many years,” Sri says.
