OUR  MISSION

Creating opportunities for Aboriginal youth to work within the renewable energy and electrical contracting sectors.

OUR STORY

Tjintju Energy has been created from a collaboration between Traditional Owner Barron Bonney and Jim Thomson who both met whilst serving on the board of the Aboriginal Workforce Development Centre.

An opportunity was identified to employ Aboriginal youth within the rapidly expanding field of renewable energy and electrical contracting.

A prevalence for fly-in fly-out installations of  regional power systems is emerging whilst local workforces and employment and training opportunities are bypassed.

The creation of Tjintju Energy is designed to halt this practice, ensuring that a highly skilled workforce is located regionally to provide not only installation but also ongoing maintenance repairs and upgrades.

Tjintju Energy is ably led by Barron Bonney, who has vast experience and contacts within the Aboriginal communities, as well as labour hire, employee sourcing and community development, with Jim providing decades of pioneering and lateral thinking renewable energy experience, electrical contracting and apprentice and trainee support, with a ready to go workforce of skilled trades and administration.
