Document Controller (Former Employee) – Brisbane QLD – 19 May 2019
When I started with Origin Energy as a Catering Facilitator I was responsible for looking after the entire catering supplies and meeting requests for approximately 500 people in the Brisbane office. This role involved ordering stock requirements for the kitchens, catering needs for meetings and booking meeting rooms. I progressed from the catering role to contracts administrator where I was responsible for managing the Service Agreements for contractors ensuring the correct contract governance reviews where undertaken and updated the applicable Certificate of Currency for the contractor's insurances. Processed requisitions, purchase orders and invoices. I was then given the opportunity to take on the role of a document controller with the APLNG project working within the Pipeline, Water Solutions and Gathering departments where I was responsible for managing Vendor and Project deliverable documentation. The three different positions I held during my 12 1/2 years with Origin enabled me to learn and develop my skills. I enjoyed a great working relationship with the various people I was fortunate to be working alongside. Origin is a company that is supportive of the communities and people they are situated in.
Pros
Given different opportunities within the company
Cons
Improved my skills
Productive and Fun workplace

They are not nice with employees
Sales consultant (Former Employee) – Melbourne VIC – 4 May 2019
Team leaders are too bossy.they don't care if any employee is sick or upset all they keep telling employees that they want sales and targets achieved and they don't care if any employee is stressed or upset.Every other day employees are told there are going to be consequences if they don't achieve targets.
Managers or team leaders in Melbourne CBD are bossy. They yell at employees and make them feel worthless . Coaching and training provided by them is never useful

Good people at the coal face
Quality Advisor - APLNG Upstream (Former Employee) – Surat Basin & China – 17 January 2019
A typical day at work could be insanely busy or fairly quiet. You never knew what challenges you would meet day to day.
In addition to my current qualifications i learnt a lot about Civil works as well as welding HDPE
Management constantly changed so it was difficult to build a relationship with much of the management although there were constant positions as well.
Workplace culture was great
Hardest part of the job was the constant rounds of redundancies and whether you were going to make the next cut.
Most enjoyable part of the job was the people.

This is an excellent company anyone can join. Employees are great and very supportive. I worked here as an Oracle database administrator. Very nice company to work with.
A numbers company
HSE Training Coordinator (Former Employee) – Brisbane QLD – 9 November 2018
Really good people who work here, but being such a large company it's hard not to feel like a number. Their redundancies are harsh and their culture is tough. A good way to advance your career in a popular industry
Pros
Career opportunities, good people, strong safety culture
Cons
Large company, no personal touch
Good For Career Progression
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Melbourne VIC – 5 November 2018
Origin was great in terms of being able to pick out the people that really shine and work hard and reward them for doing so. Their AHT skills/team games were great and I would like to work in a similar environment again.
Pros
free fruit and active team engagement
Cons
strict timing schedules
Great workplace

Good workplace with not so great job security
Quality Assurance Manager (Former Employee) – Melbourne VIC – 22 October 2018
It's a great place to start your career and you get a lot of opportunity to progress. That being said, due to some bad investment decisions in the past, the company is always going through redundancy cycles.
Great environment to work in

Good company to work with when we had our own Commissioning department.
Commissioning Lead (Former Employee) – Surat QLD – 20 August 2018
The Commissioning Team was built into a tight, skilled, reliable group that never missed targets (except for weather conditions). The management and supervision was excellent and built a very strong safety culture and work ethic.
The 14 0n 14 0ff roster was ideal for my life balance.
