At RDCL, the conversation around skills shortages is ever-evolving. Over the last 16 years, we have recognised the pressing need to rethink how we approach our workforce and nurture talent from within the Geotechnical Consultancy field.

In this article, Steve Harris, the Field Business Manager for our Ground Investigations crew, shares how RDCL embraces skill-building, diversity and cultural values to cultivate the new generation of skilled professionals.

Big mihi to Steve for contributing to this article and to our team on the ground, showing how it can be done.

It was an honour to be formally welcomed onto Omāhu Marae last week, after a number of good kōrero with Te Piringa Hapū in the preceding weeks around the Upper Raupare / Chesterhope Stopbank project.

The Ngaruroro River winds its way through various different hapū areas along the stretch of river, so it is important that we engage with all local iwi partners before we go and conduct our testing on the land.

As kaitiaki of the whenua many iwi contributors were able to provide us critical insights into the ground conditions and tikanga. Not the least of which included learning of an old urupa site beside the stopbank, helping us to ensure diggers can steer clear.

At RDCL we know that partnering and consulting with tangata whenua early on is key to projects moving smoothly, in a way that benefits the future of the land. Much like engaging Geotech in the early stages of a project, consultation helps to identify and minimise risks from the outset, and greatly increases the chances of long-term project success.

Thank you to all of the people who have had korero with us leading into this project and to Omāhu Marae iwi for the invitation and welcome at their wharenui Kahukuranui. It was a privilege and we are pleased iwi can be more familiarised with the RDCL team and know what we’re doing out on the whenua.

Thanks also go to Hawke’s Bay Regional Council for working with us on this project, and the facilitation support from Te Ngahere and Uehā Environmental, to help enable these open conversations.
