Our values of Safety & Care, Honesty & Integrity, Customer Focus, Working Together, and Performance Excellence guide our actions and achievements.

Throughout the year, we encourage staff to nominate fellow team members for living our values and purpose. In 2024 we received 282 nominations from across our Aveng, McConnell Dowell, Built Environs and Moolmans businesses. These were shortlisted to 12 finalists and following a vote from our Executive Leadership Team we are pleased to announce that our 2024 Aveng Values Awards winner is George Siaose Tupou, Supervisor on the Queen Salote International Wharf Project in Tonga.

George was nominated by Senior Project Manager Frank Schubert who was impressed with his outstanding embodiment of Performance Excellence. Beyond George’s delivery of top quality finished concrete in difficult environments and meeting tight milestones to complete Phase 1 pavement on time, George’s natural leadership and cooperative spirit were the reasons behind Frank’s nomination. George is known for his ability to uplift crew skills to enable work across multiple fronts as a respected supervisor who inspires his team. Additionally, George’s efforts extend to the local community where he has collaborated with colleagues to train a local rugby team, creating opportunities for a better future.

Being chosen from such a large pool of nominations highlights George’s exceptional achievements and his commitment to living our values every day. Congratulations, George, on this well-deserved recognition!
