The Challenge

Kestrel Coal Resources, a prominent operator in the Bowen Basin, faced the complex task of managing variable workforce requirements in a tight labour market. To navigate these challenges effectively, Kestrel required a reliable partner capable of rapidly delivering skilled labour to meet changing operational needs alongside strategic and technical support critical to the success of their underground mining operations.

The Solution

For five years, ABM Contractors and Kestrel Coal Resources have operated as a unified force, expanding ABM’s on-site presence to over 155 personnel. ABM’s strategic support has been critical to placing the right people in the right roles at the right time, ensuring rapid onboarding, swift manning adjustments, and seamless workforce integration within Kestrel’s existing organisation. This close alignment allows both teams to "fly as one," swiftly adapting to Kestrel’s evolving needs and reinforcing a partnership built on mutual success. With a 58% local employment rate, ABM’s commitment to community support, development and retention strengthens their supplementary workforce by prioritising local talent, which ABM recognises as essential for both social responsibility and operational sustainability.

The Outcome

The extension of ABM’s labour hire contract through 2025 is a testament to Kestrel’s confidence in ABM’s ability to provide end-to-end workforce solutions that integrate into their existing operations. The continued partnership positions ABM as a trusted business capable of delivering a culture driven, high-impact, strategic workforce solutions to clients with complex labour hire needs. Employees at ABM are our greatest asset, we believe while ABM provides opportunities for our workforce it is our workforce that continues to drive the success of the business.
