Sponsorships

Telarah

Hunter Trade College

provide new tools/equipment or offer a presentation to the students by providing an engineer or director to go and talk to them encouraging career paths

Osterly

Mount Kanwary Public School

A very different opportunity: only 38 students, ICSEA 922, FOEI 131 and 43% Aboriginal students.

Maitland

Maitland High School

ICSEA 942, with 50% of students in the lowest educational-advantage quarter according to the school's behaviour/support plan. This could be a particularly good fit for career exposure, mentoring and construction pathways.

Cessnock

Cessnock East Public School

Very strong candidate. ICSEA around 835, with 43% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. The school's own 2024–27 plan reports an ICSEA of 851 and 73% of students in the lowest socio-economic quartile.

Multiple Locations

TAFE NSW

Supporting young adults studying a trade by introducing them to career pathways in civil infrastructure, providing insight into the opportunities available and giving them a genuine understanding of what it’s like to work on major regional projects.

Doing our Part to Give Back

Charities & Not-for-profit (NFP)

Little Wings Charity

MCS Civil proudly supports the Little Wings Charity in providing free, professional and safe air and ground transport for seriously ill children and their families across regional and remote NSW, QLD and ACT.

Access to specialist healthcare can be challenging for families living outside major centres. Little Wings helps bridge that gap by connecting children with the medical care they need while keeping families together during some of their most difficult moments.

In FY25, Little Wings helped 5,100 children access essential healthcare, and we’re proud to continue supporting an organisation that makes such a meaningful difference for regional families.

At MCS Civil, we believe our responsibility extends beyond the projects we deliver. Supporting the communities connected to our work is an important part of who we are.
