Civmec is delivering two projects for Fortescue in the Pilbara. At Christmas Creek, it is building the civil, structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation works for Fortescue’s Green Iron Project, a pilot plant testing lower emission ways to make metal from Pilbara ore. It produced its first hot metal in August 2026.
At Eliwana, Civmec is building charger facilities and pit power infrastructure to support the rollout of electric excavators and drills, part of Fortescue’s push to decarbonise its mining operations.
What We’ve Contributed
We’ve worked with Civmec since October 2025, supplying Indigenous workers to both sites:
- Christmas Creek: Our first engagement supplied Indigenous electrical trades assistants and electricians to the Green Iron Project.
- Eliwana: Since May 2026, we’ve supported the Eliwana Decarbonisation project with Indigenous labourers and operators.
Our crew with Civmec, as of September 2026:
- Workforce: 10
- Indigenous participation: 70%
- Female participation: 20%
- TRIFR: 0
Looking Ahead
Christmas Creek is being brought online in stages. We’re proud to have Indigenous workers on site at both projects as Fortescue works to cut emissions across its Pilbara operations.
