A great mix

Human Resources Manager (Current Employee) - Kingsgrove, NSW - 1 May 2023

The people make this place with great workplace banter and culture that feels like an extended family.Unlike other places where you can't take time off without coming back to a mess, others will have your back, same goes for when you are not at your best.Monthly catchups over a lunch with all groups where the small wins are identified reminds us all why we work so hard the rest of the time.

Pros

Monthly lunch

Cons

Administration

A taught place to work

Yard Hand PNB (Former Employee) - Mulgrave NSW - 24 March 2023

I'm currently working with this company at McGrath Hills . What can say it's no correlation between a senior staff and new people who just started. Also senior staff putting a pressure on new workforce, with poor training. The company motto " people of heart everything " doesn't apply on daily basis. There is no innovation progress, old data equipment doesn't aplay with current safety standards. Easy gets hurt and injured from a poor skills coordination. I'm not recommending. There is a rotate role on PNB plant and McGrath Hill, a lot verbal abusing from a seniors stuff.

Pros

Some stuff members are nice and helpful

Cons

team leader & supervisor puts pressure on

A Toxic Office!

Estimator (Former Employee) - Alexandria NSW - 2 March 2023

I worked at Alexandria office where employee turnover is high, hard work goes unrewarded, communication has broken down and backstabbing is highly common. The team consists of a number of individuals sitting together rather than a team. Managers do not practice their speech and leaders do not manage the employees properly and cannot build a team of them. I was lucky to find a bigger and better employer immediately after leaving Alexandria office but the best way is to think twice before joining them.

Pros

office environment

Cons

Long hours, stressful work, management

Really bad management

Leading Hand (Former Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 21 May 2022

Would never work for this company as they breach every safety measures to get the job done. They don't support you, but rather than work with you, they bully and intimate you.

Clicky, scapegoat mentality

Mechanical Supervisor (Former Employee) - Murarrie QLD - 24 December 2021

This was a very unhappy place to go.Brought me on early. Didn’t have specific job ready. Wouldn’t let me help on other jobs, too CLICKY to have my inputOn last day of probation layed me offNever got a chance to show my expertise but had too many staff so used me as scapegoatUsing a WHS issue which wasn’t my fault and I wasn’t allowed to toolbox but got the blame. Devastating for someone highly regarded in industry and valued employee of other Tier 1 companies.

Pros

Salary, working conditions ok

Cons

Clicky, non inclusive, morally reprehensible management practices

Positive job, bad people to work with

Labourer (Casual) (Current Employee) - South West WA - 5 April 2021

I was asked to work here because of a highly regarded referral and my experience in the field. Yet I wasn't allowed to use that to better the job. Being talked down to and told off for helping crew mates new to the field even if it was regarding a major safety concern. Seems to be virtually no teamwork. People just want to do their own thing. Management seems to look down on people that are pro active about making the job standards high.Turned an amazing enjoyable job into a chore.Lots of ego & verry little forward thinking.

Pros

Some knock offs at full day hours

Cons

Backwards attitute & management

High productivity and safety was the main focus.

Senior Advanced Cable Jointer (Former Employee) - Belmont WA - 21 November 2020

Lots of bbq breakfasts to reward the workers and xmas & mid year functions were all paid for by the company. PPE, tools & equipment was top gear and direct supervisors were experienced, firm but fair. Top end management was abased at a different site so we didn't see them much. Huge focus on safety, where we had a safety toolbox meeting once a week and pre starts every week.

Good team

Admin Support (Former Employee) - Dudley Park SA - 11 August 2020

The role was an admin support role assisting the NBN installation project in a very male dominating environment. As a female, you need to be confident and not easily intimidated and stand your grown. Management team very supportive. Could be more assertive with their crew. Grounds crew were very uncooperative at first but eventually came around.
