Roads & Maritime Services Employee Reviews

Reliable job but not many hours offered. All equipment and training provided. Part-time rate, I would get 10 hours per fortnight, working in all weather conditions. Supervisors were good but changed frequently. Good experience though.

Can be challenging with weather conditions and traffic. Parents and children and scool administration are happy to see someone at the crossing. Some crossings are better than others.

Pros

Split shifts

It's not a good culture. There is discrimination in the organisation. The organisation does not give any chances for growing your career

School Crossing Supervisor (Current Employee) - Parramatta NSW - 2 June 2020

I would not recommend anyone looking for career growth, to work for RMS. They do not treat their employees fairly. When I joined RMS I thought, I would be given training and opportunity b development in my career. But in last ten years, nothing has been initiated by them.

Enjoyed my time with RMS

Administration Assistant (Former Employee) - Newcastle NSW - 28 February 2020

I worked for Hunter Asset. I worked up until I was 37 weeks pregnant. Due to a hip condition, I was on bedrest for 3 months. I was offered the option to work from home which really helped. The whole team was supportive and hard working. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with RMS

Square peg in a round whole

Community and Stakeholder Engagement Officer (Former Employee) - Parramatta NSW - 24 February 2020

I was not really suited to RMS due to my inability to tow the line... I do not do political speak and would rather tells things as they are... really difficult when you are required to basically tell lies.

Decent place to work

Communications and Engagement Officer (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 29 January 2020

Good place to gain experience and learn how our road network operates. In NSW road is King! Decisions can take awhile and the approvals process is onerous, but that's what working for the government entails.

Workplace Culture

Project Delivery Manager/Projecr Engineer (Former Employee) - Newcastle NSW - 22 August 2019

Its excellent to work with such a large organisation with varity of departments in all aspects of civil engieering and mostly raods and bridges. I worked 11 years with RMS and I learnt lot of road constructions works.

Not the same organisation i worked at and admired a long time ago.

Civil Construction Manager (Former Employee) - Penrith - 21 August 2019

Lack of direction and leadership clearly present within the organisation. Contract managers are not construction minded and mid to senior-level management, not present and or not willing to be flexible and provide some stability and guidance to the overall atmosphere and team. Too many young engineers in higher leadership roles and clearly out of there zone.

Rms

Administration/Receptionist (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 7 July 2019

Great work life balance. Management vary, some are excellent, others leave you wondering how on earth they got the job. ABW environment is encouraged but seems actively fought against by most staff who sat in the exact same place every day. Hardest part of the job: is actively working without being distracted by personal life dramas of other employees. Most enjoyable part of the job: the end of year get together's to celebrate achievements do make you feel like part of something amazing when you see what everyone is contributing to NSW across the org.

Pros

Free parking on site

Cons

Lots of tech related issues with desks that didn't work at all and never seemed to be fixed

Good money but slow to progress your career

Corporate (Current Employee) - Newcastle NSW - 6 April 2019

Lots of short term opportunities available, not many long-term jobs. Office in Newcastle is nice, as is Tuggerah office - if you like ABW and not being able to eat at your desk.

It was the RTA

It was working at the RTA, not terrible but nothing to write home to mum about. No complaints on my end. Had a great team, amazing manager and served friendly locals.
