About us

Hawe Earthmoving is an established earthmoving equipment hire contractor and has provided the Wide Bay Burnett region with high-quality solutions over the past 50 years. Learn more about our company and how we’ve built a reputation as the leading earthmoving specialists in Bundaberg.

Hawe Earthmoving was established in 1968 when Pat Hawe bought his first dozer. Pat started with general land clearing and dam clearing for farming developments, and gradually, through the years, we have added more capabilities to our services. We now provide solutions for all types of civil developments, including residential subdivisions, road construction and maintenance, environmental water cleaning, farm developments, and general plant hire.

In 1996 Pat's son Mick Hawe joined the company and in 2007 assumed full management of the company from his father. Since that time Mick has been committed to growing the company with his vision to be able to undertake all types of work in Bundaberg and the Wide Bay Burnett region’s earthworks sector, big or small, simple or challenging, while maintaining the core values of delivering quality work on time and with reasonable rates.

During this period, the company has built up many alliances and agreements within the industry, giving us the ability to undertake works from plans and to have the work designed and constructed from the ground up. This approach can improve the overall project outcome as the contractor in charge of building the project is involved from the beginning.

What sets us apart from other civil earthmoving service contractors and plant hire specialists in the Wide Bay Burnett region?

We have been involved in the earthmoving, excavation and civil industry in Bundaberg and the Wide Bay Burnett region since 1968 and maintain long term employee relationships which give us a significant knowledge base and experience to work from when we commit to a project. These longer-term relationships contribute to the company’s ability to achieve great results. The majority of our employees are long-term, making Hawe Earthmoving a highly reputable and experienced employer; one of our employees has worked here since 1978, showing how longer family-orientated terms build better relationships, contributing to the company’s ability to retain staff and achieve great results.

The company is always looking for new opportunities, plant hire or ventures. For example, we have the only wheeled excavator for hire in the area because we were the first to see the need. We can undertake most types of civil excavation and civil earthmoving projects without hiring subcontractors for pit forming, pipe laying, kerb and channel, road construction, and concrete works. Whether you need residential subdivision development, road construction and maintenance, farm developments, and environmental water clearing, Hawe Earthmoving are the leading specialists in civil construction and developments.

Hawe Earthmoving maintains a commitment to comprehensive training and skill development among our staff.

We believe in continued training and development, which is why we ensure each employee undertakes a minimum of one RTO training course each year, allowing each staff member to have multiple tickets and skills to be prepared for any changes within the industry. Accredited third-party RTOs are used to observe and offer guidance to our operators and staff members.

Machinery maintenance

At Hawe Earthmoving, we prioritise plant hire maintenance. All our earthmoving equipment hire options, including trucks and trailers, have an ID number assigned to them upon purchase, which stays with the fleet for life. We compile a comprehensive truck and transport register to help us stay on top of servicing and maintenance.

A customised service schedule is created based on the results of each fleet’s daily plant checklist, manufacturer’s checklists, driver’s handbook and TMR requirements, with each service and maintenance schedule tailored to suit individual conditions. The service history of all our equipment can be located quickly and all required information for the next service can be easily determined.

Hawe Earthmoving is dedicated to upholding the highest levels of safety and integrity across our operations. We monitor all our plant hire equipment through GPS tracking via tablet, which ensures each supervisor knows the precise location of every vehicle. This process reduces the chance of theft and assists with managing machine fuel requirements.

Our operators are fully licensed and insured, our vehicles are certified and fit for purpose, and work procedures and safe work method statements are available on request.
