07/11/22 • 26 min

Hello everybody and welcome to this week's episode of the Crushing It In Construction podcast. My name is Jordan Skinner, I'm your host, and this week I'm chatting with Caytlyn Mead, the CEO of the Robinson Civil Group.
The Robinson Civil Group is a family business that's experienced a huge amount of growth over the last few years, and now they have roughly 80 full-time staff and 200 pieces of plant. Throughout all of that growth, the company has placed a massive priority on training and developing their staff and as a result in 2021, they were named Medium Employer of the year.
In this episode, Caitlin and I talk about the company's commitment to training and how that has helped them stand out in a extremely competitive labor market and get them seen as an employer of choice.
I'm really excited to have Caytlyn on the podcast. She's very open and honest with how they're going about their training and shares a lot of great information in this episode.
Let's get into the show.

Hello everybody and welcome back to this week's episode of the Crushing It In Construction podcast. I'm your host Jordan Skinner, and this week I'm chatting with Gerry Doyle from Tonkin Engineering.
Now, right out of the gate, I'd just like to thank Gerry for his patience when recording this episode, because we had to actually record the entire thing twice due to some technical issues.
I'm really glad we did manage to get this episode recorded because we speak about an extremely important topic, which is mental health within the construction industry. Gerry was open and honest enough to talk about his own battles with depression and he also shared with us his views on how dealing with depression himself has actually shaped the way that he runs Tonkin as a company today.
So I think there's something for everybody to learn within this episode. Let's get into the show.

Hello everybody and welcome back to this week's episode of the Crushing It In Construction podcast. My name's Jordan Skinner, I am your host and this week I'm chatting with Ben Mullaney of InQuick Bridging Systems.
Ben is the CEO of the company, and he has a really interesting story. He doesn't come from a construction background, although his father did work in the construction industry, but he grew up wanting to be an academic. He wanted to work in universities and spend his life on campus.
But it didn't work out that way and he found himself coming into the construction industry, helping his father and brothers build a company from the ground up. And they are crushing it at the minute, the company's gone from strength to strength. They're expanding internationally and doing really, really well, and during this podcast, he's shares some of the ups and downs that they've had while building the company to where it is today.

Crushing It In Construction - Expanding Internationally With Simon Gorman
play

08/01/22 • 25 min

Hello everybody and welcome to episode 24 of the Crushing It In Construction podcast. My name is Jordan Skinner, I'm your host, and this week I'm chatting with Simon Gorman from Reeves Envico.
And in this episode we're talking about taking on international work, something Simon and his team pretty much did straight out of the gate when they started the company. Now, in my head, I mean, taking on international projects sounds like a mammoth task. Running a business is hard enough, let alone throwing into the mix things like different languages, different times zones and different currencies.
So I wanted to get Simon on the show to firstly talk about his experiences with building the company, but he also shares his insights into where most companies go wrong when expanding internationally.
Simon's a really interesting guy, I really enjoyed having this chat with him.
So let's get into the show.
