Like his father before him, Steve Skea started his career as a young sheet metal apprentice, working for his father’s company, Modern Industries. “My father wanted me to learn the business, so I went to the North West of Western Australia and worked on the tools for a while before I moved into the logistics, finance and procurement side to get a better grounding in the industry,” he says. After furthering his career in Queensland, Steve spent two years in Singapore as Contracts Manager for Modern Access Services Singapore before returning to Australia in 2010, when leading international industrial services company Hertel acquired Modern Industries – with the objective of adding value to its current offering, and servicing the growing LNG and Offshore sector in Australia and South East Asia.

After multiple name changes and acquisitions, Hertel Modern has now emerged as a leading multi-disciplinary maintenance and construction organisation in the industrial and resources, offshore, infrastructure and commercial building sectors.

Homegrown in Western Australia since 1980, the business has been involved in many of the region’s landmark developments, as well as projects in 26 countries around the globe. Hertel Modern is fiercely loyal to its 1,300 employees, and is a market leader with a reputation for reliability, safety and continuous improvement.

“Over the past 20 years, I’ve been groomed to take over the company from my father. I’ve worked my way up from a construction worker to Contracts Manager, then from Operations Manager to General Manager,” says Steve. “I’ve placed a stronger focus on diversifying our business from its usual core activities of insulating, painting and scaffolding to manufacturing. I’ve streamlined our workshop and our onsite workers to increase efficiency and open up more avenues within the business.
