Shaping Futures: Hutchison Quarries' Commitment to Youth and Industry

Thu, 22 May 2025 23:07:35 GMT

We're excited to share our feature in the May edition of People N Places magazine, spotlighting our commitment to cultivating future talent and supporting industry growth in Southern Queensland.

The Scott Hutchison Memorial Traineeship in partnership with Warwick State High School honours Scott Hutchison legacy. The program is designed to support young individuals aspiring to enter the quarrying industry, providing them with valuable exposure and education. This year, we're excited to welcome Jackson as the third recipient of the program, joining current student trainee Claire.

The two-year traineeship offers flexible employment one day a week, enabling these students to balance work and studies. Alongside valuable hands-on industry experience, recipients also receive financial support to complete a Certificate III in Surface Extraction Operations.

This combination of formal education and practical, hands-on industry experience positions trainees as competitive candidates, ready to excel in quarrying careers. Hutchison Quarries believes in nurturing passion for safety and outstanding performance, embedding these values in the traineeship initiative that guides each student toward a viable and successful career.

At Hutchison Quarries, we're passionate about building futures and fostering a sustainable approach that drives community success.

Introducing our new Articulated Dump Trucks!

Hutchison Quarries continues to invest in new equipment, to ensure the reliability, productivity and efficiency of our fleet.

Introducing our new Articulated Dump Trucks!

When it comes to off-road and heavy-hauling quarry operations, the A45G from Volvo was our choice as the ultimate haul truck. With a payload capacity of 41 tonnes, this machine is designed to deliver continuous productivity with proven technology, robust construction, and impressive operator comfort.

These trucks bring significant improvements in both fuel savings and maintenance costs, and are a reliable and efficient long-term solution to meet the needs of our business.

Designed with the operators' safety as the top priority, these trucks represent our commitment to our employees, and ensure we continue to provide a wide range of quality construction materials for our customers.

First student awarded the Scott Hutchison Memorial Traineeship

Sun, 30 Jul 2023 22:30:00 GMT

Brock is a Year 11 student at Warwick State High School and is the first student awarded the Scott Hutchison Memorial Traineeship.

Named in honour of the late founder and director of the company, Scott was held in high regard for quality & performance in business, honesty & integrity, and strong leadership - a legacy that continues on.

Hutchison Quarries and Warwick SHS will work in partnership to develop these values through a two-year traineeship, including completing a Certificate II qualification in Surface Extraction Operation. In consultation with his son Ben, we believe Scott would have wanted to see support for a local student to finish high school and gain experience in the quarrying industry.

We're proud of Brock as our trainee, and to be working with the local school in providing training, experience and a potential career path.
