From treehouses to transformation: A sustainability journey
Meet Jess, Bradken’s Senior Specialist – Sustainability, based at our manufacturing hub in Bassendean, Western Australia. Her story starts in the environment - literally. As a kid, Jess was always outside: building treehouses from scrap wood, rescuing animals, gardening and turning the world into her own environmental science lab.
That hands-on energy and keen awareness of her surrounds have stuck with her ever since. Whether she’s helping make sure Bradken maintains regulatory compliance or rolling up her sleeves on the family orchard and sheep farm just outside Perth, Jess stays grounded in what matters. She’s driven by the belief that meaningful change comes from collaboration, good systems and a bit of creative thinking.
“Bradken has supported me by expanding my responsibilities and giving me access to new systems and challenges… The openness to innovation here, combined with access to training and mentorship, gives me confidence that I can keep growing within the company.”
Inclusive. Evolving. Rewarding.
Since joining Bradken, Jess has been quietly but steadily influencing change – and while she’s not one to seek the spotlight, this hasn’t gone unnoticed by her colleagues who recognised her efforts through a nomination in the Company’s bi-annual employee awards.
“Being nominated for a Best of Bradken award really meant a lot. It’s one thing to put your head down and do the work, but when what you’re doing is seen and acknowledged by your peers, it reinforces that you bring value and your contributions matter. It definitely boosted my confidence and made me want to keep pushing for better outcomes.”
