Based in Gladstone, and with regional offices in Mackay and Weipa, McCosker operates throughout a large portion of the state, servicing clients throughout central, north and far north Queensland.
In the fields of civil construction, poly services, building and industrial development, McCosker aims to provide solutions that mutually benefit all parties with respect to safety, quality, cost, schedule, environmental, community and all other obligations.
“As a direct result of this attitude, and with our honest and open approach to business, a significant portion of our works, and therefore ongoing growth, is predominantly for repeat clients or referrals from these clients,” said a spokesperson for the company.
This attitude has also brought the company recognition; McCosker is ranked at number three for civil contractors by the Queensland Business Review in its 2010 Business Directory, and at number 51 within the 2011 “˜Queensland 400′, the top 400 privately-owned Queensland companies.
A particular emphasis of the company has been its links with the community and sustainable development. Current community initiatives include annual contributions to a variety of local groups and events. Additionally, McCosker has implemented its own environmental management system. Realisation of the company’s environmental policy involves environmental education and management for all procedures, training, and the implementation of site-specific environmental plans that are individually tailored to manage each project.
Such aims would go unrealised, however, without a strong team. McCosker has built a team of personnel – including project managers, managers, estimators, engineers, supervisors, surveyors, foremen, site staff, health and safety officers, and environmental officers – which knows the value of working together to successfully manage a project.
“We have a highly experienced and knowledgeable onsite management team with a proven track record of performing within time and cost restraints, as well as maintaining and exceeding essential safety and quality standards,” a company spokesperson said.
The company also owns and operates a large, diverse and specialised fleet of plant and construction equipment, limiting subcontractor requirements and enabling faster mobilisation times.
Another focus for the company is safety, and the McCosker Safety System has been certified to AS/NZS 4801:2001 for Mining, Construction, Building and Industrial Operations.
“McCosker is an advocate for continually improving the safety performance of its workforce and operations to ensure zero harm and to fulfil the company’s obligations, our client’s expectations and those of the community,” a spokesperson for the company said.
