ACCIONA graduates visit Rooty Hill for industry insights

InfraBuild recently welcomed senior leaders and graduates from ACCIONA to our Rooty Hill manufacturing site, providing an opportunity to strengthen industry connections and give future engineers a closer look at Australian steel manufacturing.

The visit began with an introduction to InfraBuild, highlighting our integrated steelmaking, recycling and manufacturing operations, and the role we play in supporting Australia’s construction industry. Guests also learned about our innovative SENSE 600® reinforcing steel and how it is helping deliver lower embodied carbon outcomes and improved material efficiency across major infrastructure and building projects.

The group then toured our Rooty Hill operations, seeing firsthand how locally manufactured reinforcing steel is produced from scrap metal and supplied to projects across Australia.

Connecting the next generation

A networking lunch brought together graduates from both organisations, creating an opportunity to share experiences, discuss career pathways and learn about each other’s graduate programs.

Brendon Vo, Early Careers Advisor, said bringing graduates together from across the industry helps build valuable connections early in their careers.

“Our graduate program is about giving people meaningful experiences that help shape their careers. Bringing our graduates together with ACCIONA’s graduates gave them the opportunity to learn from one another, build professional networks and gain a broader understanding of the industries we work across. It’s these connections that help develop the next generation of talent.”

The conversations highlighted the value of collaboration between industry partners and the importance of investing in future engineers and construction professionals.

Building stronger partnerships

The visit reinforced the strong relationship between InfraBuild and ACCIONA, while providing valuable insight into the manufacturing processes that support many of Australia’s major infrastructure projects.

As Brendon said:

“Partnerships like this are incredibly valuable. They allow us to showcase Australian manufacturing, strengthen relationships with our customers and help graduates see the important role steel plays in delivering the infrastructure our communities rely on.”

By opening our doors to customers, partners and future industry leaders, we continue to strengthen collaboration, share knowledge and showcase the innovation taking place across Australian steel manufacturing.
