Vulcan is led by a set of principles and ethos that guide how we work, how we treat people, and how we deliver for our customers.

Our Principles

We believe that by creating the right environment we inspire the delivery of amazing results.

Provide an enjoyable workspace
We want you to genuinely enjoy the work you do. Aside from having well resourced, high standard facilities, we aim to create a workplace where everyone feels listened to, valued and supported in reaching their full potential.
Promote a safe working environment
By nature, working with steel can be dangerous and unforgiving, therefore ensuring your safety is our primary, ongoing priority. Not only do we want you to get home safely to your family every night, we also want you to feel psychologically safe and supported while at work.
Be financially prosperous
This enables us the freedom to invest in our business and people to ensure we’re thriving, not just surviving. It gives us the ability to determine our future success from which everyone can prosper.
Remain ambitious
Ambition is about being courageous enough to try, knowing that while we may not always succeed, we will learn, grow, adapt and ultimately find a better way. Innovation isn’t without risk, and we’re here to support you in stepping outside of the box and striving for greatness.
Balance the above
We know that balancing the above is critical to our success.

Our Ethos

At Vulcan we hold ourselves to the highest standards in our work, how we do it and how we treat one another.

Team first, with respect for the individual
We’ve got an “everyone supports the team, and the team supports everyone” culture. No one person is more important than another, therefore we value and respect everyone’s individual perspectives and ensure that all decision making reflects what’s best for the team.
Each person responsible with minimum misunderstanding
We trust everyone to have complete responsibility and autonomy within their role. You won’t have someone looking over your shoulder and should feel empowered and enabled to do your job to the best of your ability, in a way that works best for you.
Support our local communities
The health and happiness of our people is directly dependent on the health and happiness of those around them. These extended networks of friends and families across New Zealand and Australia, are our local communities. Through understanding their difficulties and helping support, uplift and improve the lives of these people, we hope to foster meaningful and lasting change.
Relaxed, professional and committed
Work should be somewhere you enjoy going every day. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and our relaxed, yet committed environment ensures everyone feels comfortable asking questions, receiving feedback and supporting one another.
Clear profit centre goals
Everyone has a clear understanding of their responsibilities and goals and has the resources and decision making authority to achieve them.

We have a unique non-hierarchical, single-status culture where everyone is encouraged and empowered to make their own decisions. This is a rare point of difference within our industry and a cultural foundation we're proud to maintain as we continue to grow. This flat structure keeps our business agile, efficient and extremely responsive and promotes a culture where all employees feel trusted, valued and fulfilled.
