Work and Smile: People of Programmed – Meet Cheryl Prentice

Nov 21, 2025

Across Western Australia, we’ve been meeting the people whose leadership and dedication bring our Work and Smile vision to life. Today, we’re excited to feature Cheryl – a valued member of our team and one of the stars of our latest series. 🦺✨

From Perth to Golden Grove, Karratha to Mt Isa, Cheryl works closely with our Resource contracts to ensure our teams feel supported and our customers receive the high-quality service they rely on. Her passion and fulfillment lies in seeing people grow – helping team members develop their skills, step into new opportunities and build long, rewarding careers.

Cheryl’s own journey reflects that same spirit. Starting as a Contract Manager, she now oversees multiple operations across the state. When our Karratha operations team needed on-the-ground leadership while establishing a new office, she and her family didn’t hesitate to make the move north to support them.

Now back in Perth, Cheryl continues to spend time on sites across WA and QLD, rolling up her sleeves, putting on the hi-vis and work boots, and working alongside the teams she leads.

Known for her positive, can-do attitude and deep expertise in facility management, Cheryl brings out the best in the people around her, helping all of us to succeed, and making her Work and Smile.

“Sharing a day in the life of some of our team onsite and my own story felt meaningful,” said Cheryl, speaking on her filming experience. “The filming came together with ease, and while the weather was against us, it was great to see the vibrant colours of the landscape, and the remoteness of where we work in the regions.”
