I enjoy the diversity that we have here – It really shows how much CentrePort cares about creating a different, encouraging and welcoming environment for all. This is the first place I have had the pleasure of working at that does so much for its people, and makes sure we are all operating safely to the best of our ability.”

“Moving from a healthcare assistant role to CentrePort was done with some apprehension, especially due to the language barriers and varying accents, that made things challenging while learning a new profession. But it is a challenge I am embracing with the support of my fantastic team, and a few deep breaths!”

Lucia Avila – Junior Health and Safety Advisor

The culture here is really good – the people I work with are understanding and easy to get along with inside and outside of work.

CentrePort offers a lot of opportunities to increase your skills and move up. I started at the bottom as a casual general hand and now I’m a full-time supervisor. I’ve been here 18 years, so I’d say it’s a good place to work!
