Community Relationships

The social responsibilities Lucas TCS prides itself upon in our operations also extend to local communities impacted or affected by our works. Whether providing support through a wide-ranging sponsorship program to local community groups and clubs, assisting in the creation and upkeep of local community infrastructure, helping build local businesses through the use of local products and services or through the employment and training of local labour, Lucas TCS always look to leave a favourable and long lasting impact in the local communities  in which we operate.

Where possible, Lucas TCS recruits locally to integrate unskilled, inexperienced personnel into our experienced operations personnel. This ensures that through our upskilling and training, new career paths and opportunties are opened. Lucas TCS actively employees Indigenous personnel from local areas when performing remote works, and have employed many individuals from Indigenous communities and towns that have gone on to be long-term employees. Furthermore, Lucas TCS also look to engage with local Indigenous business, companies and groups where appropriate.

Quality Assurance

Lucas TCS prides itself on the consistent quality of our work and deliverables. We recognise that managing project quality requires an integrated approach between the client and Lucas TCS Management. Lucas TCS is committed to delivering projects on time and on budget. This includes exceeding client expectations and providing profitable soultions to all stakeholders, whilst performing all works in an ethical and legal manner at all times.  

To support the company philosophy and standards, Lucas TCS has developed a formal Integrated Management System certified to ISO9001 – Quality Management Systems. It is the clear expectation that all Lucas TCS activities and employees strive to conform to the requirements of this system and these certifications. Lucas TCS will achieve this by having a trained and committed workforce who know and understand the operations of Lucas TCS’ Integrated Management System.

Lucas TCS quality control activities are performed continually to verify that project management and project deliverables are of high quality, as well as meeting the quality standards as specified in the contract documentation. This is to ensure that project outcomes satisfy the quality standards as set by the contract documentation, and will define and record quality reviews, test performance, and client acceptance through quality assurance methods.

Safety and Accreditations

At Lucas TCS, we view health and safety as core company value. We have recently demonstrated our safety commitment and advanced level of our systems through accreditation under the Australian Government Building and Construction WHS Accreditation Scheme. Issued by the Federal Safety Commissioner, Lucas TCS view this as a significant aspect of our HSEC systems as only a limited number of companies are accredited nationally. During the initial audit process, Lucas TCS achieved one of the highest conformance scores to date.

This commitment serves to guide all planning, decision making processes, actions and behaviours when conducting our business. Lucas TCS employees operate from the principal that all incidents and risks to health & safety can be prevented and controlled, and that quality, productivity, profitability and Safety are mutually supportive objectives. All employees are encouraged and expected to be safety role models by visibly and actively promoting and driving safety excellence at work, and never compromising the safety of themselves or others for productivity. This approach to safety is a deeply ingrained part of the Lucas TCS company culture, and ensures that we consistently complete projects without any recorded injuries. As a result, this is one of the reasons that Lucas TCS regularly attracts repeat business and clients.

As a leading earthmoving, civil construction and mining company, Lucas TCS operates heavy machinery in often remote areas where rigorous management systems and attention to detail are paramount. To ensure Lucas TCS continually exceeds the expectations of our clients, we have a professional HSEC team to oversee the HSEC Management System. Broad in scope and nature, this system is certified to ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.

The HSEC Management system provides objective evidence of continuous improvement and our capability to fulfil contracted services that meet and exceed customer and legislative requirements. The system is capable of achieving customer satisfaction whilst driving critical health, safety and environmental criteria resulting from Lucas TCS and the customer pre-set parameters for any project or alliance. Lucas TCS acknowledges that for our HSEC and Quality Management System to be effective, the inclusion of objectives and targets are required to ensure that the outcomes of the system and projects are focused, reliable, useful to stakeholders, and that the management system is serving its intended purpose. Based on these reasons, Lucas TCS are committed to the creation of objectives and targets specific for the projects we undertake, and outlined within the HSEC and Quality Management Plans.
