Committed to Diversity and to Zero Harm
Senior Systems Analyst (Former Employee) – Alexandria NSW – 8 June 2018
Bluescope is a great company with a safety culture second to none, flexible with work arrangements to support work-life balance, and encourages diversity in gender and ethnicity in the workplace.
Bluescope management genuinely cares about their employees and the communities they work in.
I would be happy to work for them again.

Great crew of workmates
Operations Technician (Former Employee) – Melbourne Eastern Suburbs VIC – 18 March 2018
Chopped and changed with no reason for example even the startup toolbox meetings could not be decided on the location by the ever changing management it seemed to be only wanting to justify there position (that went down the ladder to supervisers/team leaders) resulting in a confused and stress sutup. This of course filtered to stressing all.The chop and change way caused many mistakes which resulted in a "blame game mentality"or "us against them". Probably a clear example was going for the Xmas shutdown period which for years had some food or a couple of hampers up for winning in a raffle and even a small ($20) gift card jesture to not even a five cent Xmas card each. Not good for moral !!
Pros
Most of my workmates
Cons
The decision makers not listening to who they should be (common theme).
Best Experience
Assistant (Former Employee) – Flagstaff, AU – 15 March 2018
In assisting my mother in her full-time job at BlueScope Cafe; I experienced in handling a cash register and serving a large amount of customers. Like so, I experienced producing multiple types of coffee under busy conditions.
Over the one month period in assisting I developed many skills and had an overall enjoyable time doing so.

High regard for staff and safety...
Forklift/Crane driver (Former Employee) – Acacia Ridge QLD – 29 November 2017
This job was one of the most enjoyable company I had ever worked for since immigrating from New Zealand, their scope on safety was very essential to the running of the company, from the CEO down to the supervisors, we were all treated as equals, sharing ideas and concerns with the daily running of the machines and mobile equipment, the hardest part of the job was getting used to the heat during the summer, even tho we had industrial fans running most of the time, it was still hot, it would take someone at least 3 to 6 months or more to get to know most of the workers their having a rotating shift roster for the three different crews running each shift, so , in saying all that, my time working at the Acacia Ridge, Bluescope Steel site in Lysaght street, was very rewarding and enlightening as I drew some of ideas I learned and incorporated them in to my own lifestyle, so, thanks guys it was awsome...
Pros
Mateship and job security
Cons
the summer...

Health & Safety Integration Co-ordinator (Former Employee) – Perth WA – 16 September 2016
BlueScope have a lot of areas that they need to work through. Particularly with safety. Their was strong evidence that safety was not at the top of their priority. I was limited in what I was able to do because of my roll. Although I was honest and had the respect of all the work as they could see I was working to keep them safe I fought a battle with my manager.
The need to build good management verses workers relationship and be honest and more transparent with the workers.
