Staff Testimonials

I began my journey in the construction industry immediately following the completion of a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil & Architectural Engineering at the University of Adelaide. At the time, I knew very little about construction, what it had to offer, and what I could bring to the table with a background in engineering. The Sarah Graduate Program allowed me to learn from an array of industry professionals within the business, some of whom came from the same engineering background as myself. I found my niche for project management and was enlightened to know the construction industry was a viable opportunity for my career development.
During my progression from a Construction Graduate to a Project Coordinator, I worked on projects ranging from office fitouts to greenfield multi storey dwellings and advanced my coordination skills in balancing numerous trades and consultants. I was also given the opportunity to cultivate and progress my people management skills by mentoring and training upcoming graduates.
After almost 5 years on site, I took the opportunity to join the QHSE department as a QHSE Advisor. This role has given me a broader view of the business as a whole and a better understanding of the systems that support all operations of the company. Every day is different, and I enjoy being able to work in different sectors within the QHSE space.
Working at Sarah has been the most positive experience thanks to the culture and people willing to support each other.

What sets Sarah apart for me is the balance of autonomy and support. You’re empowered to lead, think differently and take ownership of your role, while being backed by a team that genuinely cares about each other’s success. You’re given the space to grow, contribute ideas and create meaningful impact, knowing you have the support around you when you need it.
The culture is what makes it truly special. It has a genuine family feel — collaborative, down-to-earth and grounded in shared values. People celebrate wins together, step up during challenges and take pride not just in the buildings we deliver, but in how we deliver them.
Being part of landmark, community-shaping projects is something I’m incredibly proud of. To contribute to work that will serve South Australians for generations — alongside great people who are committed to excellence — makes Sarah more than just a workplace. It’s a place where you feel connected to purpose, performance and people.

Upon completion of a Bachelor of Construction Management and Economics I gained full time employment with Sarah as a Construction Graduate in February 2017. The Graduate Program was a new initiative at Sarah, and I found this program perfect for an introduction into the construction industry. As someone who was just starting out their career, I was able to develop new strengths and had gained a substantial amount of professional experience working on fast paced projects across both South Australia and Northern Territory.
Since the completion of the graduate program, I have been given many opportunities to further my career. I have been able to engage and collaborate with a large number of people within Sarah Constructions ranging from new Graduates through to Senior Management. I am extremely thankful to be a part of a company who take the time to ensure that the career development and opportunities for the staff is a priority.
I am currently a Project Manager working within the Sarah Retail Team, a role which I have been working in for the past year, but 4 years previously from Graduate position (2017). I thoroughly enjoy the team and environment that I work in, as I find it to be both challenging and rewarding. One of the many great things about Sarah as a company is that they provide the same level of service and professionalism to 6 week retail projects that they would to a landmark multimillion dollar unique project.
From Senior Management to Project Cadets, everyone is valued and a part of the Sarah family. I couldn’t think of a better place to start or continue a career!
