Hear from our team

Working at PHE has been an incredibly rewarding experience. PHE not only supports professional growth but also provides unique opportunities to work across the country, which has broadened my skills and perspective.

What truly sets PHE apart is its strong team culture and unwavering commitment to safety and quality. The level of support and attention to detail across the organisation is second-to-none.

One of the most fulfilling parts of my role is being involved in our apprenticeship program. It’s inspiring to watch apprentices grow, develop their skills, and become highly skilled tradespeople – just as I did when I started. I’m proud to be part of a company that invests so deeply in its people.

Darren Dubois, General Manager – Power & Infrastructure

Thirteen years at PHE have taught me the value of teamwork, trust, and showing up for each other and our clients. What’s kept me here is the people-hardworking, genuine, and supportive - and the pride we take in doing things well. I’m thankful for the opportunities I’ve had, and the trust placed in me over the years.

Jodie McKean, Office Administrator

I commenced working with PHE in mid-1987 at Oberon, NSW as an electrician on the construction of a Medium Density Fibreboard Plant. Since then, some 38 years, I have remained with the company working as a Leading Hand and Supervisor as well. Throughout the years I have seen the company expand from construction / refurbishment works within the timber industry to also hydro generation, paper manufacturing and mining.

I have found PHE to be a reliable company, able to provide long-term employment for those of us who desire to have stability in their chosen career. This reflects the work environment, forward thinking and team attitudes created by both the employees and employers, past and present.

Robert Percival, Electrician

PHE has given me the chance to experience parts of Australia I never imagined. The opportunities to explore new places, grow professionally, and collaborate with a supportive team have made my time here truly unforgettable. I’ve gained valuable skills along the way, and I’m excited to see what the future holds within PHE as I continue to grow with the company.

Casey Wait, Site Administrator – Mining

I came into PHE without an electrical background but with a genuine belief that I could add value, and I’ve felt that trust from day one. I’ve stayed because I love what I do, and I’m proud of the team I’ve built. During one of the toughest times in my life, the support I received, especially from the owner, meant the world. We’ve built something amazing over the past couple of years, and it really feels like we’re just getting started.

Cassie Sellars, General Manager – People Operations

Joining PHE as a Graduate Electrical Engineer after working in the Middle East was both an exciting step and a period of adjustment. What stood out immediately was the inclusive culture, I’ve felt genuinely welcomed, supported, and respected for the experience I bring. PHE encourages open collaboration, values diverse perspectives, and creates space for everyone to contribute and grow with confidence.

Jomar Arombo, Graduate Electrical Engineer

Working with PHE as a Contract Administrator has provided a supportive environment for my career development. The opportunity to learn from colleagues with varying levels of experience, combined with valuable on-site exposure, has been instrumental in shaping my professional growth. The strong team culture makes it a workplace I’m proud to be part of, and I look forward to continuing to advance my career here.

Kate McWaters, Contract Administrator

Being part of a company that leads with innovation is a career in itself. From exciting, high-impact projects to getting hands-on with the newest test gear, every day brings fresh opportunity. The collaborative team culture makes the work environment not only productive but genuinely rewarding. What’s more, for foreign workers like myself, the support in settling in has made all the difference. And with offices in every state, the opportunities are as vast as the country itself – what more could you ask for?

Kenneth Villanueva, Lead HV Protection Engineer

I joined PHE two years ago and have seen the company grow rapidly during that time. My role requires precision, flexibility, and strong communication with employees across all divisions. From day one, I’ve felt trusted to take ownership of my work and collaborate with supportive teams – both in the office and on site. I value the challenges, learning opportunities, and exposure to the exciting projects we deliver.

Lynda Growcott, Senior Travel Coordinator

Since joining PHE around 1.5 years ago with little experience and confidence, I’ve grown in ways I never expected. Thanks to the trust and support of the team, I quickly found myself taking on challenges I once thought were out of reach. PHE is more than just a workplace – it’s a community that empowers growth, builds confidence, and values long-term collaboration.
