Meet Our Team.

Rick Tucker - Business Development Director.

Encouragement from a couple of mates, a desire to be my own boss, a wild idea I could work 2 or 3 days a week and a loan of $2,200 from mum to buy my first mobile welding machine was the beginning of RTW. Since then many things have changed, but the thing treasured most is having a great bunch of people assembled to be a part of RTW.

Duties at RTW are now limited to improving the operation as a business but the real satisfaction and contentment is knowing we have a Management Team with the knowledge, integrity and capabilities to take the business onto greater heights in the future.

Spare time is easily filled trying to keep fit, fishing and following horses that just don’t seem to go fast enough.

Debbie Hitchcock - Business Manager.

Coming up for 8 years service with RTW and a member of our Senior Management Team, Debbie has studied for a Diploma in Accountancy and Tax Preparation.

Debbie is the first point of contact for customers via phone and front office visitors. She also manages our accounting system.

Debbie takes pleasure in her family and loves to spend her spare time being active and outdoors.

Nick Jokich - Works Manager.

Nick has been in the fabrication, maintenance and construction industry for almost 30 years. Qualified as a 1st Class Welder and Boilermaker and member of our Senior Management Team, Nick is responsible for the planning and programming of our work personnel and resources.

Originally from the Northam area, Nick has been with RTW for over 20 years and has developed a great knowledge and understanding of the industries and projects in the area. His work ethic, honesty and willingness to get the job done have seen him gain respect and admiration of clients and fellow employees.

Nick spends his spare time with his family, working and managing horses and farming.

Craig Cahill - Logistics Coordinator.

Craig is heavily involved in local football, follows horses and enjoys time with his family.

Tony Wallrodt - Senior Estimator.

Tony has been with RTW for over 8 years as an estimator after owning and operating his own structural fabrication business for many years. His first job as a youngster was at Jake Engineering and he has been in the trade ever since.

The elder statesman of our Team, Tony has developed a vast knowledge and understanding of the requirements for estimating in today´s competitive environment. His honesty and fairness is admired by both fellow workers and clients.

Glenn grew up in Bunbury, served his apprenticeship at the Midland Railways and has worked at various engineering facilities in the South West before joining us 7 years ago. His knowledge of the trade is valuable in passing on knowledge to apprentices.

Glenn´s family is grown up and he now spends his time surfing, fishing and gardening. He maintains he´s good looking, which is up for debate.

Mollie - Security, Taste Testing.

Mollie has been with us for 3 years and came from a neglected home. She only visits the office during the day as she works most nights.

She is a valuable member of our Team and considers she rules everyone.
