Dedicated ActewAGL employees celebrate 25 years of service

Monday 23 January 2012

ActewAGL’s annual long and dedicated staff awards have recognised 19 employees who reached 25 years of service last year.

From cable layers and electrical fitters to water industry operators and engineers, these committed individuals have helped ActewAGL deliver electricity, natural gas, water and wastewater services to Canberra and the surrounding region for a quarter of a century.

ActewAGL Chief Executive Officer Michael Costello said, “I would like to thank all 19 employees for their 25 years of service to the people of the ACT.

“These dedicated employees, who started their careers with the ACT Electricity Authority (ACTEA) or the Department of Housing and Construction, have witnessed first-hand the development of Canberra. The city we live in today is a testament to the labour of these committed team members and that of many others like them.”

Graham Burgess of Yass started with ACTEA as a Trades Assistant on 23 June 1985 and is currently employed as a Team Leader Senior Stores Person at ActewAGL’s Water division.

“I have had many interesting and challenging roles during my time at ActewAGL. It’s been a great learning experience. I’ve also met lots of interesting people who have been good friends as well as work mates,” Mr Burges said.

ActewAGL offers extensive apprenticeship, traineeship and graduate programs, along with competitive salaries and excellent benefits including a health and wellbeing program that includes free gym memberships, salary sacrificing, awards schemes and bonuses.
