Nice place to work
Snr Electrical Engineer (Current Employee) - Brisbane - 18 October 2022
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedHuge projects are in the pipeline with the perspective of success in the future key projects in utility and new energy sectors. The management style is reasonable. The office environment is below the standards. The IT is the worst part of the company. I work in a collaborative team with a extensive experience in power industry.

Disgusting
Recruitment Consultant (Former Employee) - North Sydney NSW - 14 November 2022
Extreme level of micromanagement - no support or training - no flexibility - very poor salary - management will never acknowledge your hard work or efforts. I would never recommend anyone to work here.

It is ok for engineers but don't expect much support
Senior Systems Engineer (Current Employee) - Brisbane - 15 October 2022
Very reactive organisation and a bit old fashioned, they basically make problems for people working from home. Some of the jobs are very interesting and a lot of people very knowledgeable

They claim to care about safety but really couldn't care.

Had nothing but problems with this company. They have terrible management, terrible culture and pit everyone against each other and don't give procedures for high risk jobs so they can point the finger if something happens.
Pros
Good hours
Cons
Terrible management Terrible culture

Fast Paced and Dynamic Working Environment with strong leadership at the top.
Commercial Manager (Current Employee) - North Sydney NSW - 26 January 2022
UGL is an excellent place to work. Yes the work is demanding and during bids things can get a little hectic, but there is a definite collegiate atmosphere about the place where everyone works together through the tough times to ensure no-one is left behind. Over the past 12 months management changes, have definitely improved morale and the new MD is without doubt one of the best leaders that I have had the pleasure of working for!!
Pros
Executive Management Team is top notch Pay is excellent Office location is good Friendly staff
Cons
Can be long hours, Parent Company can be difficult to work with, Flexible working is still a "work in progress"

Very unorganised disrespectful
HSE Advisor (Former Employee) - Darwin NT - 12 October 2021
Not the top of the list , more worried about the image than the workers. You are treated as just a number. A lot of back stabbing in the management and a very high turnover of HSE staff.
Pros
Large project
Cons
Senior management egos

Insipid reactionary rabble
Lead QAQC, Gorgon LNG, night shift (Former Employee) - Perth WA - 7 August 2021
Over promised, underdelivered, mostly pond scum in management positions, though the odd person was very professional. Largesse is dolled out to family members, kuldos is an unknown.
Pros
I left
Cons
I should not have started, rely on your inner vibes.

Great work place culture
Mechanical Fitter ERARING POWERSTATION (Former Employee) - Unknown NSW - 13 May 2020
Supervisors were good and fair. The work was interesting and varied. Management was great...always really helpful. They let their staff know about upcoming work and kept in touch to see if you were interested in those jobs. Everything ran smoothly: from the first phone call to the medical and even to the end of the job. I met some interesting people while working away from home. That, great management and a good pay packet made my time with UGL both enjoyable and rewarding.
