Great work environment
LABOURER (Former Employee) – Adelaide SA – 24 May 2019
Great company to work for, very friendly. Hourly rate was exceptional considering my age (17). Management and supervisors were very nice and gained my respect very quickly.
Pros
Salary, Supervisors
Cons
Some manual labor
No work life balance
Engineer (Current Employee) – Adelaide SA – 3 June 2019
They work you to the bone, no consideration for your personal life, expect long hours that’s not reflected in you salary. Promise you everything, then shift the goal posts on you with no consultation prior making it impossible to meet their requirements
Management do not live n breath the FH values but expect everyone else to
Issues raised get swept under the carpet and the guys on the ground get the blame
Absolutely appalling!
HR and HSE issues go left unanswered and your made to feel intimidated when you ask again
Their uniform allowance is a joke, holes in boots and torn shirts won’t be replaced yet a certain HSE Coordinator is a walking FH uniform catalogue
Double standards through the place
Toxic environment in their main office

It’s like working in the 80’s
HFC (Former Employee) – Western Australia – 8 May 2019
The managment are a bunch of bully’s, nothing done by workers was ever good enough, employers were always treated as if they were always doing something wrong.
Dare question them about safety issues or procedures and you would paint a target on your back. Zero training provided and unless you were stroking the egos of managment and supervisors there was no chance of any further progression in the company, no matter what your skill rating was.
Full time isn’t an option, most guys were strung along for 18months.
Unorganised continually and one of the least professional companies I had ever worked for.

Roller Operator (Former Employee) – Western Australia – 16 January 2019
My opinion of Fulton Hogan W.A is not a good one. There is a culture of bullying new employees. There is hardly any breathtesting as you are handed a piece of paper that you write 0.00 on and it seems the site boss and supervisors are covering there favourites. The managers don't want to know about labour hire employees as they think they are like an expendable product. We had our safety day last Monday and a speaker there said we should care about each other more.Fat chance of that happening as things just go on the same as allways. Fulton Hogan has a long way to go to attain any sort of high standard in this industry. The Managers are rude,selfish and uncaring like they dont seem to know or care what is going on on the ground. I just thought that considering the guys on the ground do all the physical work that they would be treated better. Come on we work 14 hours a day without a scheduled break so many days you are fatigued after you drive home. Fatigued drivers and operators make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes and the supervisers are rude to you maybe because they are stressed themselves. I have a fear that one day a serious workplace incident/accident will take place on the job. I hope I a wrong.
Pros
The Money
Cons
Long hours without a sheduled break, rude bosses and a cooking the books regarding fatigue management.
Good poeple to work for

Pros

HFC project-poor management
Supervisor (Current Employee) – Dudley Park SA – 24 November 2018
I came here a couple of years ago and worked hard ,sorry to say baby.SQ over through me.
Let’s just say, they involved a heap of pepperoni and a group of seagulls swarming his room, with hilarious and disastrous consequences.

HC driver/ Labourer (Former Employee) – adelaide, worked all around australia – 12 August 2018
Fulton Hogan have many departments under the one name so this review does not include fulton hogan as a major business only the specific department i was wokring for.
i worked as a truck driver to drive machinery interstate to R.A.A.F bases and then worked as a labourer doing runway maintenance for up to a month or 2 at a time.
schedules were always pushed very closely together so if there was a mistake or mis management of a machine we would be set back and therefor have to work massive hours eveyday to get the job finished in time to meet the deadline or before.
all in all i enjoyed my time and experience from fulton hogan as knew i wanted to pursue work that allowed my to make more money so i have no finished my study to work in the mining industry as im always looking to further my career as i have an opportunity to set myself up very well in the future at my current age of 22

Great people to work around like a family
Fixed Plant Operator (Former Employee) – Stapylton QLD – 7 January 2018
This company was great to work for only let down was there were not interested in letting all people of the company learn new things or rotate around so the job wasn’t the same day in and day out
Pros
Got 10 hours a day of work
Cons
Not getting to learn new things
Fulton Hogan Industries provides great flexibility for autonomous employees. Everyone has the opportunity to contribute in their own way.

Fulton Hogan has allowed me to develop myself professionally across a wide variety of roles.

Engaged as a Project Engineer currently I have had the opportunity to undertake site engineering work, construction and project management work, health and safety work, quantity surveying and estimating work as well as documentation and management of quality systems within the organisation.
Pros
Great opportunities to work autonomously, and contribute in a variety of ways to the delivery of projects and works.
Cons
Employment contracts generally states that the hours of work are task orientated, rather than standard hours orientated, This is there for a reason, and that is because you will work hard at Fulton Hogan, If you aren't committed the working conditions can be a deterrent.
Good team, spread of work tasks amongst team could be better.
Contracts Administrator (Former Employee) – Adelaide – 19 September 2017
A really good team, Good office set up, a management team that cares but a bit lacking in how to resource and allocate work load. With the program u was working on the company should have been able to look into processes to help the staff based on previous experience.
Pros
Good Team
Cons
Long Hours
Not the best workplace setting
Civil Labourer (Current Employee) – Townsville QLD – 18 April 2017
very unprofessional, treat workers like rubbish, no room for improvement, just take orders from supervisor, abused, stuffed around, spend majority of your time away from family, plenty of bosses that like to shuffle the blame onto the next, get promised job security but wait years, a very unhappy work environment! Some great crew workers but management and new supervisors hired really let this company down.
Pros
Good work crew, money ok
Cons
Long hours, never home, bullying in the workplace
