How the Robert Mann team turned engineering values into meaningful community impact this Movember.
At Robert Mann, we’ve always believed that good engineering is about more than technical capability. It’s about people — the communities we support, the clients who trust us, and the teams who bring every project to life. So when we joined Movember this year through our Mo for the Mann campaign, it wasn’t a box-ticking exercise. It was a natural extension of how we work and who we are.
Our people rallied behind men’s health with the same focus, responsiveness and problem-solving mindset that defines our engineering and HVAC projects every day.
Why Movember Matters to Us
Movember shines a light on issues that directly affect the men in our teams, our clients, and our wider industry — including mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. These challenges are real, immediate and deeply felt across Australian workplaces.
For a company built on being responsive, warm and community-minded, supporting a men’s health initiative like Movember just made sense.
When something matters, we don’t hesitate. We collaborate, we act, and we back our people.
The Results — Delivered Together
Throughout November, our team got involved in ways big and small — donations, conversations, movement and a few brave moustaches along the way.
And true to our ethos of stepping up when it matters, Robert Mann matched every dollar raised, helping us reach a final contribution of $13,160 for men’s mental health and cancer research programs.
A simple, straightforward approach that significantly increased the impact we could make.

Living Our Ethos — Not Just Talking About It
Our ethos drives everything we do — on the worksite, in the office and within our community. It’s built on being:
- Experts who stay approachable — technically strong, easy to work with.
- Professional, warm and grounded — solving problems without overcomplicating them.
- Innovative problem-solvers — delivering smart, practical solutions.
- Responsive and reliable — we move quickly, stay accountable and follow through.
- Motivated by purpose — committed to the work and the people behind it.
Movember gave us the opportunity to put these values into action in a meaningful way — reinforcing that our approach as our impact reaches beyond the technical services we provide.
Why This Is Only the Beginning
Initiatives like Movember highlight something we believe strongly at Robert Mann: real impact happens through consistency, collaboration and showing up when it counts. Those qualities sit at the core of our work — and they’re just as important in our contribution to the community.
We’re proud of what our team achieved this year. And we’re proud of the culture behind it — intelligent, dedicated, innovative and built on genuine care for people.
Thank you to everyone who contributed, encouraged, shared and supported.
Together, we’ve created an impact that reaches well beyond the engineering projects and systems we deliver.
