Tauranga-based project management company Fabworx was set up by director Jason Carter when he saw a need in the market for skilled people to get up and running - or complete within tight deadlines - a range of construction and heavy industry projects.
"I saw a gap for competent project management supervision," said Mr Carter, who originally trained as an aircraft engineer in the New Zealand Air Force.
"We've got a reputation for being able to complete and get things done, so we've built on that. There's high demand for people who deliver results."
After leaving the air force, Mr Carter worked for a number of companies, including engineering specialists Page Macrae, then joined structural steel company Morgan Steel, where he worked on projects including the Gate Pa shopping mall.
"I realised that there was work out there for projects, left Morgan Steel and created my own company," he said. "We're still in our infancy, but we've been going from strength to strength and have got work stacked up for the year."
