Employee Handbook

SoilCyclers have been professional to work with from day one. They have a strong safety culture, they are competent and honest. Because they know their business so well, we can make informed decisions about our works. Some subcontractors focus on cubic metres and costs, however SoilCyclers focus on the outcome.

Dallas FrazierSenior Environmental Coordinator & Landscape Representative, Fulton Hogan Seymour Whyte JV

SoilCyclers' company staff are very flexible to work with and they will fit in any work conditions. I will definitely recommend them for my next job.

Kiran AlavalaProject Engineer, Fulton Hogan

The team at SoilCyclers have been great to work with. They understood the importance of delivering as the program required and to the specifications set.

Gerard CostelloFormer Assistant Development Manager, Seachange Developments

From the first time we called SoilCyclers we were impressed with their customer service. Sarah sent a representative to site assisting us in the setup of the project as we were new to using this kind of equipment. Everything was managed so efficiently and professionally from start to finish, concluding within budget. We highly recommend SoilCyclers to anyone looking for this kind of service. Looking forward to doing more business with SoilCyclers in the near future.

Ross RiccaBusiness Development Manager, Eagle Alliance Earthmoving Pty Ltd

SoilCyclers processed 140,000m3 of soil mixed with plastic and rubbish and reduced our waste disposal cost significantly . They were professional, easy to work with and honest. I'd be happy to recommend them to others looking to reduce onsite waste and avoid unnecessary costs.

John NewtonFormer General Manager Sustainability, Orora Australasia

We have just recently discovered SoilCyclers, and had the privilege of being able to utilise their services on our larger main roads projects.They are a super professional company, very timely in getting to their work commitments. With their vast knowledge in their field, they have been able to save our projects money by offering quality information and producing up to 20% more yield for our stockpiles than other contractors we have used. We have no problems recommending SoilCyclers to anyone for small or large projects. They are very cost effective and a highly professional company.

Dave MillarFormer Senior Estimator, Topgun Landscaping

Anyone with a screen can simply screen dirt but the true test and art of mixing components and ameliorants homogeneously through 1m3 of soil let alone 10,000m3 plus is what sets SoilCyclers apart from other contractors. The combination of passionate and experienced staff, along with their cutting edge rotating trommel screens ensures that maximum production can continue even in wet conditions. Wet and undesirable materials are no match for their Doppstadt. The aggressive nature of the screen tumbles and breaks up large clumps maximising quality/yields and ultimately minimising costs/wastage. Many times I have seen other contractors hire deck screens in an attempt to undertake the works themselves cheaper only to have costs blow out and materials failing specs due to inadequate screening/mixing and QA. This is highly specialised work, requiring operators with the skillset and of course the equipment to match.

Aaron AshlinDirector and Soil Scientist Hortus Group

Alison and her team are an absolute pleasure to work with. Her attention to detail is extremely impressive, keeping both site and office staff informed of their every move. More than happy to recommend their services to others within the industry.

Jack BathFormer General Manager, Penfold Projects

We were referred to Alison by one of our suppliers, as we needed specialist work completed to recover some organic product in our yard for reuse. The overall service from SoilCyclers was excellent and I have no hesitation in referring their service. All my staff were very happy and impressed with the service, it gave us some quality organics to reuse at the right price. Our ROI on the work completed surpassed our expectations, due to the speed and efficiency of the short contract.

Tony ReesManaging Director, Groundworks Australia Pty Ltd

In very trying conditions, SoilCyclers were fast, reliable and true to their word. A pleasure to work with.

James KriukelisProject Manager, BMD
