Our long-standing partnership with Engineers Australia supports our engineers in achieving chartered status. Through the Engineering Workforce Credentialing (EWC) Program, many of our engineers have taken the opportunity to obtain their Chartership in various areas of engineering practice, including Leadership & Management, Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Process, Construction Engineering, and Project Management.

Padmakar Zalkikar, Senior Project Engineer, recently obtained his Chartership through the EWC Program. This globally recognised accreditation signifies a commitment to excellence and exemplifies the highest level of professionalism with his area of expertise.

“I joined the Group in 2023, and the journey since has been incredibly enriching. During this time, I have gained invaluable insight and perspective into a number of business functions and even with my role, particularly subcontractor and supplier management, site engineering handover completions, project and package engineering support, and variation management functions for cost control.

“As a mechanical engineer by profession, I have always been keen on developing application-based engineering skills. I focus on maintaining technical integrity at the design level, minimising interface issues to ensure a smooth transition, and handing over the work to the construction team for execution and completion. 

“Experiencing both sides of project execution and management, I embrace new challenges and strive to achieve to major milestones. This drive has led me to choose a career in the engineering and construction industry.”

“The Group provides an exceptional platform for professionals to further develop their skills and provide excellent support to those seeking greater responsibilities across the business and in their diverse project range. Webuild’s impressive portfolio encompasses extensive experience in delivering energy, resources, and infrastructure projects and that’s exactly what I wanted to be a part of.”
