Built for capability, careers and long-term participation.
Naarm Cranes is an Indigenous-owned Victorian business being established to deliver professional lifting support while creating meaningful employment, training and career pathways for First Nations people.
A crane company with a clear purpose.
Naarm Cranes was created from a belief that Indigenous participation in construction should extend beyond procurement targets. It should build practical capability, trusted relationships and lasting careers.
The business is being developed around two commitments: safe, dependable lifting support for clients and genuine economic participation for First Nations people.
“More than social procurement. Capability that creates opportunity.”THE NAARM CRANES APPROACH
Values designed for the worksite.
Simple standards that should be visible in every client, employee and community relationship.
Safety
Plan carefully, communicate clearly and never compromise the controls required for safe lifting.
Capability
Earn trust through competent people, suitable equipment and dependable project delivery.
Respect
Respect Country, culture, people, clients and the responsibilities that come with every job.
Opportunity
Create real pathways into skilled, long-term employment—not participation in name only.
Grounded in place and responsibility.
The name Naarm Cranes acknowledges the Country on which the business was founded. It reflects connection to place, identity and a responsibility to create something valuable for future generations.
Respecting the lands on which we work.
Naarm Cranes acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live, work and operate across Melbourne.
We pay our respects to Elders past and present and acknowledge the enduring connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Country, culture and community.
