Introducing the new Leading Hand at Wamarra

Congratulations to Phil Cooper, a proud Gunditjmara man, on his promotion to Leading Hand at Wamarra!

Starting as a labourer with Wamarra just 2 years ago, Phil completed the Bulabul Leadership Program earlier in the year, climbing up the ranks to Team Leader and now Leading Hand, showing incredible leadership and adaptability.

The Bulabul program is tailored to develop the leadership and effective communication skills of our future leaders, allowing Wamarra to identify future leaders like Phil and foster their growth.

“From the get-go, Phil has led from the front, with strong initiative, a can-do attitude and actively engaging with myself to effectively manage our works from a logistical and construction standpoint.” says Alex Russi, Site Engineer.

Phil, your achievements inspire us all. We’re proud to have you leading the way at Wamarra!
