What Graduates Say About Them
  • The pay is fantastic for a graduate and well above any other companies that I am aware of.
  • Great balance of work and life having flexible start and finish times, along with a 9-day fortnight.
  • Good level of emphasis on learning and developing fundamentals prior to being thrust into just deliverables.
  • The opportunity to gain a wide variety of experience across multiple engineering teams.
  • The culture is very good in the company. Most people have the mindset to foster learning and development of themselves and others.
  • Change can be slow within the business. Due to inefficiencies in historic processes, availability of data and regulation, it can be challenging at times for progress to be made.
  • The worst thing about working for the company is the travel to the office but, there is work from home opportunities available.
  • Some work may only be available in certain locations across the state.
  • I struggle to find something to put here... No biscuits in the tea room...
  • Change can be slow within the business. Due to inefficiencies in historic processes, availability of data and regulation, it can be challenging at times for progress to be made.
