We arrived to upgrade a tower, but nature had other plans 🪺 👷♂️ Back in April, our technicians in Far North Queensland discovered an Osprey nest in a tower in Mission Beach. To avoid disturbing the birds, the team made the decision to pause the upgrade. 🪺 When they returned a couple of weeks later, the Ospreys had settled in fully, with three eggs in the nest! 🐣 Working closely with the Cassowary Coast Regional Council, we’ve now delayed the upgrade until at least mid-July to give the chicks the time and space they need to hatch and grow safely. Flexibility comes in handy when you've got a family to look after!

The most technical game of I spy you’ll ever play 👷 📡 In this case, B’Jae is working through a power input failure on a radio. During inspections, he identified a loose power connector, which is enough to trigger a fault alarm from the equipment. 🚨 That alarm is the system’s way of flagging that something in the power feed isn’t quite right, so the team know to head out to that site ASAP to get things fixed. 💪 B’Jae’s job here is to secure the connector back into place, restoring a stable power connection so the radio can operate as intended and the network continues running smoothly.

Just casually fielding questions 30 metres up a tower 😱 👷♂️ Safety comes first for Constructor Repairer B’Jae. With at least one of his carabiners always connected to the tower, every move is deliberate. 😰 The level of calm and control is hard to fully appreciate until you see just how high up he really is. 💪 Just another day’s work for our Field Services team!

Would you swap your morning commute for B’Jae’s? 👇 👷♂️ As a Constructor Repairer, B’Jae spends his days scaling mobile towers and keeping critical infrastructure running strong. 😌 What stands out most though is the calm, focus and ability to hold a full conversation like he's not 30+ metres above the ground!

When a cable comes loose 30 metres above the ground, who you gonna call? 😱 👋 Meet B’Jae and Nick: helping to keep Australia connected, one tower at a time! 👷♂️ With cameras strapped to both technicians, we recently got to see first-hand how B’Jae scaled a tower to reconnect a cable that had come loose, carefully sealing it to prevent future faults. 💻 Nick coordinated everything from the ground, guiding B'Jae to the fault, managing equipment, and ensuring emergency calls weren’t interrupted. 💪 In just 40 minutes, they had things back up and running with zero stress and plenty of banter along the way. Skill, teamwork, and a sense of fun from the ground up.
