Geelong Lions kicking goals with Winslow

Winslow is passionate about supporting local communities, and sport plays a huge part in all communities.

It’s no secret soccer is as passion for Winslow staff with many involved in local clubs.

A partnership between Geelong Soccer Club and Winslow continues to kick goals on and off the field.

Winslow has been a major sponsor of the Geelong Lions since 2021, which has benefitted both parties with club members finding career opportunities here.

“I am extremely grateful of the career pathways that Winslow has provided to Geelong Soccer Club members and very proud that our members have been able to make a success of these opportunities,” said club President Robert Kukanovski.

“We are working as hard as ever in the community to make this relationship beneficial for us all, and I look forward to hearing more success stories.”        

Antonija Balta, who is a Team Manager for her sons’ junior teams, joined Winslow as a project administrator at the Geelong office earlier this year.

“The connection between the soccer club and Winslow has been great. It’s great to feel part of a family both at work and at the club considering I’m there every night of the week,” Antonija said.

“Winslow is all for progression and everyone here is always available to provide that helping hand and assistance to get you there.”

Keegan Kukanovski, who plays for the Lions, has been working at Winslow as a labourer while also studying for a Bachelor in Construction Management at Deakin University.

“Winslow offers pretty good opportunities to advance your career,” Keegan said. “I hope to step up to a site engineering role.”

Winslow’s Regional Manager for Geelong Darran Bunnett said there are more opportunities for employees with so many projects in the area, and the partnership with the Lions has been successful in attracting skilled people.

“We are always looking for people keen to forge a career in civil infrastructure,” Darran said.

“Winslow offers live local, work local opportunities to build a career in this exciting industry, and many of our employees have gone from labourers to senior positions.

“Hard working and enthusiastic people will be rewarded.”
