The man with arguably the coolest job at Fed Square, Ben is in charge of curating all the content that goes up on our world-class Digital Façade (the stunning big screen in the main square). And while he hails from the UK and is a football tragic, he makes sure there is plenty of time on screen for other local and global sports, as well as broadcast content from across Australia and around the world – from Hollywood blockbusters, to student films, and a wonderful range of cultural content in between. But perhaps his greatest achievement has been the development of Big Screen Gaming, which gives the public a chance to play some much loved video games on the Digital Façade and ‘Dancing Santa’, an Digital Facade AR program, which uses a frictionless motion capture to create an mix reality experience for the public. Ben sees his role as directly entertaining, inspiring, and educating visitors to Fed Square through the content he delivers, an incredibly powerful reason to come to work each day.

As the manager of the Venue & Events Operations Team at Fed Square, Renee is the highly experienced smiling face leading the team who guide clients through the successful running of events at our iconic venue. With the wide variety of events that are hosted at Fed Square, and the unique demands and challenges posed by the venue itself, no day is the same for Renee and her team and certainly no day is quiet – on most days you can expect to see her popping up all over Fed Square in her distinctive teal shirt. Not one to let an email leave her inbox without an accompanying meme, Renee brings fun to an incredibly important job – activating and protecting the famous Fed Square.

When he isn’t out on his road bike, “wetting a line” (that means fishing), or perfecting his latest bass line, Charles is our resident digital wiz. In a little over a year as part of the Fed Square team, he has led the charge in producing a snazzy new website (the one you are looking at right now!) and been involved in rapidly growing our customer database and improving the ways we connect with them. So what has been the key to his success? “The autonomy and pace you can set in terms of updating the digital infrastructure, the challenges set by management, and the scope of the projects are all great things about my job. Also, the people – to come to work with friends is a great thing. I’m happier and it feels great working with people that are like-minded and who rely on each other to do our jobs.”

Peter leads the Security and Cleaning teams at Fed Square, no mean feat for somewhere so large and complex. But with 21 years of experience with Victoria Police at his disposal and over 16 years at Fed Square, Peter’s the man for the job when it comes to keeping people at Fed Square safe and happy. Fed Square might be the jewel in the crown of a long and storied career, but Peter’s also been a gold miner, a horse riding instructor and thoroughbred raiser, a rural tour guide and more – join the team and maybe you can ask him for his stories in person, or have the chance for a bit of method acting as the ‘suspect’ in a live security training exercise.

Despite her love of apocalyptic movies filled with buildings being destroyed, a passion shared with her two kids, as Project Director for Fed Square Stef leads the charge in building a bigger and better Fed Square by taking our capital works projects from an idea all the way through to completion. She does this, with great calm and no small degree of humour, on time and on budget thanks to the experience she has gained from running her own project and development management business for the past 10 years. For Stef, it is the people that make Fed Square such a great place to work: “The team here are all happy, focused on their work but in a fun and vibrant way.”
