Spotlight on SAGE

We love nothing more than sharing our stories.

SAGE has been on an exciting journey of growth since being established in a backyard shed. As the company has grown to more than 450 employees, variety on the job and growing career opportunities are a common draw card for women to work at SAGE.

Our Brisbane General Manager Jason Finselbach is at the helm of a growing team in Eight Mile Plains.

Right now, the hearts of Australian’s are breaking for our country and our beautiful wildlife, devastated due to bushfires. Our thoughts are with each of those directly affected and the courageous people on the front line.

Brisbane-based Senior Project Manager Sean Hutton has enjoyed a lengthy and varied career with SAGE Automation since joining the company more than a decade ago. Not only has his role taken him all over Australia, it's allowed him to continually build on his existing engineering skills. We interviewed Sean to find out more about his career and life at SAGE.

Have you heard about SAGE's 20 week placement program? Rather than explain it ourselves, we thought we'd hand it over to our recent placement grads to explain all about the program from their perspective.
Spread between SAGE's Smart Transport, Defence and Manufacturing teams, the group of interns all gained practical and valuable hands-on experience in their unique fields. 

From creating the world’s first smart transit hub, to fighting the #WarOnWaste and celebrating our 25th birthday, 2019 was a year full of innovation, diversity and bucket loads of perseverance from our talented and rapidly growing team.

SAGE Automation was founded in the backyard shed of founder Andrew Downs. Fast forward 25 years to 2019 and SAGE Automation (SAGE), looks like a very different business. As it celebrates its 25th birthday, SAGE proudly maintains its corporate head office in Adelaide, whilst servicing its national client base with a team of more than 450 staff across 13 offices in metro and regional locations throughout Australia, as well, as three offices in India.

SAGE Group Holdings Ltd has once again made the InDaily South Australian Business Index for 2019 – a list of the state’s 100 most successful companies - this year coming in at number 56 on the index.

It is a significant milestone for a business to celebrate its 25 Birthday.

For us at SAGE, it presents an opportunity to pause and reflect on our journey so far.  Our growth into a diverse global business, the unforgettable milestones, the challenges we fought hard to overcome, what’s changed, what we hope will never change and to recognise all of those who have been a part of our story so far.

The latest step in SAGE’s Industry 4.0 transformational journey has everyone excited – and none more so than Graduate Engineer Thomas Jolley - who is now in charge of supervising a complex piece of new equipment known as the 'Komax Zeta 640 cabling machine'.
