WELCOME TO HI VIS TRAFFICFounded in 2018, Hi Vis Traffic is a 51% Indigenous owned and operated Traffic
Management Company, with a minimum of 90% Indigenous workforce at all times.
Hi Vis Traffic is a specialist in the WA and NSW traffic management sectors, delivering services within the scope of our own experience and capacity.
While we strive for a 100% Indigenous workforce, we acknowledge that some management and supervisory roles are required to be filled with experienced people
who have the capability to transfer their skills and knowledge onto our Indigenous workforce, who aspire to become managers and supervisors.
OUR DIFFERENCEOur team are committed to providing a top-quality traffic management service with
a social conscience. We want to make a difference to Indigenous unemployment outcomes, and to ensure the safety of our employees
and the public.
Hi Vis Traffic will strive to win as many contracts as possible to ensure the immediate employment of large numbers of Indigenous people. Our purpose is two-fold: creating
Indigenous employment opportunities, while creating and maintaining a safe and team-friendly work environment for all who use
and work on our roads.
OUR VISIONWe aim to create real opportunities for the Indigenous
community through upskilling and employment opportunities in the traffic management sector.
OUR MISSIONTo assist the Government of Australia to end disparity,
via strengthening partnerships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians through understanding,
encouragement and active involvement within the commercial world. This will then lead to the
empowerment of Indigenouspeople through employment.
“I have met many individuals over the years throughout the construction industry and on first meeting Rainer, he really impressed me. It was quickly established we both had similar goals in relation to Aboriginal employment and how we could really make a difference in the sector if we were to bring both of our values into one company. Obviously, with Rainer’s experience, expertise and resources and my Aboriginal expertise and connections, it’s a perfect partnership to achieve the outcomes we’re both aiming for.” – Joanne Pellew
OUR STORYHi Vis Traffic was established when the Aboriginal owner of Hi Vis Traffic, Joanne Pellew, recognised a labour market gap: Indigenous employment targets were increasing across the infrastructure and construction sectors but uptake of Indigenous people was either too slow or non-existent.
Joanne Pellew is a serial entrepreneur, and founder of well-established Indigenous labour hire business Ochre People. She identified an opportunity to make use of her networks and experience to end Indigenous disparity. By utilising the Ochre group of businesses, Joanne and her experienced recruitment staff have access to thousands of Indigenous people, who are both experienced and new starters within this industry.
Joanne has partnered with Western Australian senior civil engineer, project manager and business leader Rainer Offermann to deliver Hi Vis Traffic.
“I have 2 values that I am a firm believer in. Firstly, a sound business is founded on a strong management team; secondly, for a business to successfully grow and become stronger it must stay focused on industry demands and adapt flexible to the changes which innovation brings to the industry.” – Rainer Offermann
Rainer started his Civil Engineering career in 1995. Within 2 years, he had advanced to senior roles in project management, consulting to MRWA and overseeing rural road maintenance contracts which spanned a broad area of the Midwest and Wheatbelt regions of WA. He went on to manage large road construction projects in the Goldfields, before returning to Perth in 2003 and purchasing Carrington’s Traffic Services.
When Rainer purchased Carrington’s in 2003, it was one of only four companies of its kind to operate in Perth and most of regional WA. Rainer found that the general standard of traffic control services was well below industry needs, and he recognised the need to lift the standard of traffic control within the industry, in order to deliver a professional, reliable service. With his strong background in senior management of civil construction and road maintenance projects, he was uniquely positioned to ensure delivery of a professional service level lacking in the industry. Fifteen years later, Carrington’s continues to supply the industry with expert, cost-effective and reliable service which has cemented them as one of Western Australia’s leading traffic management providers.
