Metal bin Truck operator (Former Employee) – Archerfield, boundary road – 10 July 2017
Veolia has always been a company which looked after safety of it's workers and staff. Liked the vehicles I worked in and a friendly atmosphere. The reason I left was because of contract which has ended
Not a bad job
Hook Lift Operator (Former Employee) – Keysborough VIC – 29 June 2017
The job in itself was ok. The management structure was toxic.
I don't think that some drivers new where they stood from day to day.
How sad that management have to inflict their inadequate style to the work place.
The hardest part was having to deal with their policies.

Decent
TA (Former Employee) – Sydney NSW – 23 June 2017
Not bad work and crew, the CCTV work wasn't to complicated but takes time to learn.
Management kept everyone on casual longer then the verbal contracts which caused problems in moral, along with poor planning of work which caused confusing and alot of downtime that the workers would get the heat for.

Heavy Industry environment
HPW Operator Boyne Smelter (Current Employee) – Gladstone QLD – 6 March 2017
Involved in a new career change for the past 3 years. Gained much experience with heavy vehicles, and safety with the job at hand. Stepped back as a leader due to company being strong in this area. This enabled me to gain more experience with machinery and the safety needed which put me in a leading role anyway.
