Career Prospects at Ventia

I am not fully aware as I am still part of the graduate program however grads are presented with many opportunities once they are done with the program to secure a role in their respective field or even other roles they have not tried out.

There's no permanent position at the end of the graduate program which is quite disappointing after 2 year and 4 rotations at the company. During the rotations if you feel they are legitimately not working the graduate program are happy for you to change but often you have to find where you want to go next yourself. It is left almost entirely in your hands. In NZ there's not a lot of technical opportunities. Ventia is happy to move you to Australia. However, for myself who. does prefer staying in NZ, I'm not sure there's much career progression I can make in Ventia.

I haven't had the opportunity to experience a promotion.

Depends on the part of the business and what you like doing.

Depending on the contract, it can be quite versatile. New positions are always open.

From what I've seen from past graduates, the promotion opportunities have been fairly strong after completing the graduate program. Multiple grads have gone on to become managers after a 1-2 years and GMs a few years after that.

Hard to say at the moment since I'm in my first year of a two year graduate program. There has been some people who are on their way to finishing the program who are finding difficulties in getting a role they can continue with at Ventia. This kind of suggests to me that as a graduate, the career progression opportunity when finishing the graduate program is not as streamlined.

As Ventia is a very large company with many different services, I feel that there are a lot of opportunities available, but you would have to do some personal research on them

I don't know much about it. Ventia has a two year program so we will probably find out more next week. When you finish the program I believe you can ask your previous managers to continue working with them. The program coordinators might give us a list of available opportunities? Not 100% sure.

Don't expect Graduates to have promotion and move up the ranks. There is no proper management for the Graduate program.

Annual salary increase as well as training upon request

Not much known yet

being passionate, curious and brining new ideas to the business

Not much progression space for a Civil Engineer who wants to learn hands on. Promotion depends on connections and work capabilities.

From what I have seen from other people who have been on the graduate program, being a part of the program provides a lot of opportunity to work alongside multiple people in different roles, gaining experience and skills in ways that can help you move upwards internally

I guess you can change sector easily however, there aren't many positions always available regarding promotions etc

People are constantly coming and leaving, so positions are always available.

It's a large company and there is lots of possibility to move around the company to find out what you are interested in. But being new, I am unsure on promotion possibilties.

its left up to you if you don't get luck with a rotation

The possibility for promotion within the company is extremely viable. A lot of people move around within the company and even if a position is not available, the company is not afraid to create one for you.
