Since early 2022, Monadelphous has been the proud major sponsor of the Hedland Reds Football Club, providing integral support for the club’s day-to-day operations, as well as career opportunities for the players.
Craig Turner, Construction Manager for Monadelphous in Port Hedland and a respected member of the local Indigenous community, serves as both the President of the Club and a mentor to the players. His passion lies in empowering the players not only on the field but also in shaping their futures in the industry.
“Our sponsorship of the Hedland Reds goes beyond just supporting a local sporting club, we also offer players and volunteers the opportunity to gain valuable skills and employment pathways with Monadelphous.
“The team is 80% Indigenous, so we have established partnerships with local community groups to help upskill the players and get them work-ready.”
By providing the players with a sense of responsibility, forward-thinking mindsets, expectations and direction, we aim to equip the Port Hedland youth with the skills needed to succeed in the workforce.
The Monadelphous Port Hedland team is highly motivated to support the players and the club in any way possible and take pride in their involvement in supporting the local community.
There are currently 14 Hedland Red’s players who have joined our Port Hedland workforce.
