Recently we brought together graduates from across the Thiess Group for our 2026 Graduate Development Day, creating an opportunity to connect, collaborate and learn from one another. The day was designed to develop more than technical capability. Through sessions with leaders, insights from former graduates and interactive learning experiences, participants strengthened critical skills in communication, relationship building, health and safety, financial acumen, and commercial awareness. Soft skills form an important part of the structured development provided through the Thiess Graduate Program, building the capability, confidence and connections needed to shape the future of our business and our industry. #ThiessGroup #FutureTalent #GraduateProgram

The Thiess Group was honoured to attend the 2026 Garma Festival and experience this year's theme, Bukmak (everyone). Garma provides an opportunity to listen, learn and reflect on the importance of connection, culture and community. Through shared experiences, conversations and cultural exchanges, we were reminded of the value of coming together with respect and openness. Attending the festival reinforces our commitment to the vision of Thiess' Reconciliation Action Plan: a shared future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities and businesses thrive. Through meaningful opportunities, strong relationships and genuine partnership, we can contribute to positive outcomes that create shared benefits for all. Thank you to Frances Lolohea for representing Thiess, the Minerals Council of Australia, yothu yindi foundation garma festival, Traditional Owners, Elders, volunteers and the Yolŋu community for your generosity, knowledge and hospitality. #Garma2026 #Bukmak #ThiessGroup #Reconciliation #BetterTogether

Congratulations to Thiess apprentice Slater Talonga-Querro, whose journey into diesel fitting has been featured by CQUniversity. Through our long-standing partnership with CQU, Slater is building the skills, confidence and hands-on experience to forge a rewarding career in mining. At Thiess, apprenticeships are about more than earning a trade qualification. They're about learning alongside experienced tradespeople, working on world-class mining equipment, and developing the capability to help shape the future of our industry. Well done, Slater. We look forward to seeing where your career takes you. #FutureTalent

A Legacy of Partnership at Prominent Hill. For more than 20 years, Thiess has been proud to support the Prominent Hill copper mine in South Australia, from early feasibility studies and construction through to the start-up and extension of mining operations. As our role at Prominent Hill comes to an end, we reflect on the partnerships that have shaped the project and the opportunities created along the way. One very special partnership has been with the Antakirinja Matu-Yankunytjatjara Aboriginal Corporation (AMYAC) and its wholly owned subsidiary, A.M.Y. Nominees Pty Ltd. Over many years, we have been privileged to work alongside AMYAC to support capability development, local employment and business growth opportunities. Recently, A.M.Y. Nominees Pty Ltd was awarded the largest standalone contract ever granted by BHP to a Traditional Owner business in South Australia. The Indigenous Business Review captures the significance of the achievement in this article: https://lnkd.in/g9mYPp5e This milestone reflects the vision, leadership and capability of AMY Nominees, and the value of partnerships built on trust, shared commitment and creating opportunities that endure. Thiess is proud to have been a part of that journey. Congratulations to AMY Nominees on this achievement. We look forward to seeing its continued success and lasting benefits for the community and future generations.
