I work on a couple of projects that are all from different aspects of the program. I am able to socialise myself in lots of different teams and areas of the program each day. Although I work at head office there is always an opportunity to go out for a site tour!

I spend most days organising hoarding for worksites, reviewing collateral, monitoring social media and assisting with stakeholder enquiries. I enjoy the work I'm doing but sometimes it can be a bit quiet, and I feel like there's not much for me to do.

Pros and cons of working at Victoria's Big Build

Pros

  • The best thing about working at VICTORIAโ€™S BIG BUILD is the type of work I get. I really enjoy the tasks given and feel like I am learning at a good pace.

  • Flexible hours, supportive culture.

  • The workplace environment and culture. As a graduate, leaders and managers go out of their way to guide you and welcome you to the team.

  • Plenty of opportunities to get out on site or into the community to participate in more hands-on work.

  • The support for development (both within company and outside) and flexibility given. Culture is overall great.

Cons

    • Lack of clarity around the role going in leading to misaligned expectations.

    • Uncertainty of being a project rather than a permanent organisation, so there is not a clear progression trajectory.

    • The workload can be quite inconsistent depending on the rotationโ€”some days you will be so busy, and others there will be nothing to do.

    • Limited opportunity to accept a full-time role within the organisation when the program was over.

    • As an engineer, limited hands-on experience on site
