Spotlight on SAGE

We love nothing more than sharing our stories.

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

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.

Earlier this year, SAGE was lucky enough to attend Siemen's Digitalize Conference in Brisbane, with several of our executive team members having the chance to speak about a range of topics including digital skills development and Australia's digitalization journey. 

What an adventure. Oh, what a celebration! You may have heard that SAGE turned 25 this year, and we've thrown a series of birthday events right around the country to celebrate. Certainly, it's been an exciting journey from SAGE's beginnings in a backyard shed back in 1994, to where we are today as a global company with offices spanning three continents. nAnd we are proud to say our growing workforce is now made up of more than 450 people. Over the past couple of months, we've taken the time to stop and reflect on what we've achieved over the years - and thank the people who have helped us grow into the company we are today.

October marks National Safe Work Month – and SAGE is celebrating with a record safety streak – almost 5 years without a Lost Time Injury (LTI) in the workplace.

She once lit up the Auckland Harbor Bridge entirely with solar-powered batteries, but for SAGE’s latest energy recruit – Senior Project Manager Samantha Kali – there are many more career highlights.

SAGE Group has been shortlisted as a finalist in two categories, in the Australian Defence Industry Awards 2019.

The inaugural award recognises Australia’s top defence industry professionals and businesses, with SAGE nominated for ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ and ‘Defence Innovator of the Year’ for its contribution to the defence industry.

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'.
