Our

Story

Mettle began its life in 2015 and since its inception has grown from humble beginnings to become a well-recognised and respected construction, refurbishment, defence, and fitout business. With offices in Brisbane, Townsville and Sydney, Mettle is well-positioned for sustainable growth along the eastern coastline of Australia.

Mettle started with a vision that was fundamentally underpinned by the definition of ‘Mettle’, and ‘Good People Doing Good Things Together.’ We think we have got that right, making Mettle a great place to work and a great company to do business with.

Mettle, by definition, is the ability to rise and meet a challenge in a spirited and resilient manner.

It creates a sustainable and healthy workplace which allows Mettle to deliver certainty and exceptional results for its clients.

Mettle’s values are: Be Accountable; Be Curious, Ask Questions, Listen; Take Care; Be Proactive, Problem Solve; Be Authentic, Come As You Are; and Make It Happen.

About

Be Accountable

Being accountable creates certainty. Construction can be a high-risk, volatile industry where certainty is invaluable. Being accountable to yourself, others and the process provides certainty.

Be curious, Ask questions, Listen

Being curious means you are eager to learn. Ask questions and listen to answers. A curious mind fosters collaborative working relationships both internally and externally.

Take Care

Take care of yourself both physically and mentally. Take care of those around you to encourage a healthy and sustainable workplace. Take care in your work – be proud of what you do!

Be Proactive, Problem Solve

Being proactive in construction is having the insight to identify issues and apply a solution before it becomes a problem. Have the courage to back your decision and the humility to know when to change course.

Reconciliation Action Plan

Acknowledgement of Country

Mettle acknowledges First Nations Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work and live. We respect their rights and interests in their lands and waters and recognise the unique relationships of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples with the environment in which they live.

A Message from Our Managing Director

Mettle is all about ‘Good People Doing Good Things Together’. It is our mantra and underpins how we do business and interact with the communities we work in and are a part of. An integral part of ‘good people doing good things together’ is respect. Mettle and its staff have a deep respect for the enduring and continuous culture that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders represent on the land we work and live on.

Mettle’s positive impact on the communities we operate in is measured each year via our Corporate and Social Responsibility targets. Giving back and furthering improvement in communities in which we work is very important to Mettle and its staff.

We look forward to this journey ahead of us and are excited to find out how we can further our contributions to community and people.
