Snowy Hydro faced multiple challenges in delivering the Hunter Power Project. The workforce was dispersed and diverse, requiring consistent communication, cultural alignment, and engagement to maintain morale and cohesion. The high-risk construction environment demanded strict adherence to safety protocols, while executives and boards required improved governance reporting, streamlined data processes, and real-time visibility to support timely and informed decision-making. Struber was engaged to provide expertise across project management, reporting, and leadership performance to ensure the project advanced efficiently while embedding a strong safety culture and maintaining stakeholder confidence.
Solution
Struber applied an integrated approach that addressed workforce engagement, governance, and safety performance simultaneously. We developed and implemented a comprehensive communications and engagement strategy that kept all stakeholders informed and aligned, while fostering collaboration and cultural cohesion across the workforce. Real-time dashboards, monthly shareholder updates, and fortnightly governance reports streamlined reporting processes and enabled clear oversight of project performance. Struber also designed and delivered initiatives such as the “Power Up” recognition program, enhanced safety inductions, toolbox talks, and critical risk communications. Through workshops and coaching sessions, we reinforced a culture of accountability, operational excellence, and collaboration. Struber further strengthened Snowy Hydro’s relationship with the local community and emergency services, integrating stakeholder feedback and proactively addressing concerns to support social licence and long-term trust.
Struber’s integrated delivery ensured the Hunter Power Project achieved operational alignment, workforce engagement, and safety excellence. Governance reporting became more streamlined and accessible, providing executives and boards with real-time insights and reducing administrative overhead. The workforce experienced improved morale, cohesion, and a reinforced safety culture, while leaders were empowered to drive accountability and collaboration across teams. Community and stakeholder confidence was strengthened through transparent engagement and proactive communication. Overall, Struber’s involvement accelerated project delivery, enhanced performance oversight, and left a lasting positive impact on organisational culture, workforce engagement, and stakeholder trust.
