Each Powerup Program is tailored to meet specific project requirements and guarantees all candidates employment with NRW on successful graduation. The Program delivers competency based training using hands-on activities such as driving haul trucks and rollers, including OH&S practices and procedures, which is empowering for the candidates.

Works undertaken include earthworks for ROM walls, stackers and reclaimers, stockyards, causeways, conveyor construction, car dumpers, railtrack and related ancillary works. NRW’s capability and capacity to successfully deliver both large and small scale bulk earthworks contracts is self-evident with the subsequent award of variations to existing large contracts. Testament to this, were the award of the Nammuldi Haul Road overpass, Silvergrass Access Roads and Nammuldi Roads, all variations to NRW’s existing Nammuldi Below Water Table Contract for Rio Tinto.
