Congratulations to Joshua Waterhouse on reaching 15 years with Linkforce! 🙌
A lot can happen in 15 years, and Linkforce has been part of many of Josh’s biggest life moments along the way, from meeting his now wife, to getting married, to becoming a dad to his son and daughter. As life has changed, so have Josh’s priorities, and his journey is a great example of how careers can grow and shift over time.
Josh first joined Linkforce as a boilermaker, around three years after finishing his trade. He worked his way through leadership roles on site and became a Senior Supervisor, before realising that he needed a change. Josh moved into the Perth-based planning team, where he spent three years, learning more about the business and the industry and gaining valuable insights and experience that helped him when he later returned to site.
Back onsite, Josh stepped into senior leadership roles at Port Hedland and Eliwana before becoming Regional Manager for Linkforce’s Fortescue operations. Today, he is Regional Manager, Rope Access, based out of the Welshpool Vertical Services training facility. His mix of site, office and leadership experience has helped shape him into a well-rounded manager, though Josh is quick to say there is always more to learn.
When we asked Josh to look back on his time with Linkforce, what stood out the most are the people that he has met. Over the years, he has worked alongside many great people, and a lot of them have become friends. Anyone who has had the chance to work with Josh would know the warmth, generosity and steady support he brings to all interactions.
Having spent much of his adult life at Linkforce, Josh has seen his priorities shift over the years. Work is still important to him, but family comes first, and that balance is something he values deeply. Whether it is being able to spend weekends with his family, watch his daughter’s dance concerts or coach his son’s Year 2 football team, being there for the everyday moments matters to Josh.
Congratulations, Josh! It has been a privilege to be part of your journey over the past 15 years, and we look forward to celebrating the next milestone with you 🎉
