Salary at Victoria's Big Build

Pay is good for graduate

I think it's great, but I have heard that other grad programs elsewhere pay more.

The pay is pretty good, and I believe it is above the average legal graduate pay. I think it is quite a bit less than top tier law firms, but I am quite happy with what I am paid. The Big Build graduate programme also pays quite a bit better than the wider Victorian Government gradate programme.

Pay is ok, better than some other companies compared to for my level but increases each year aren't great.

Pay is great as it is on the higher end I believe, and the bonuses apply for graduates too which is not usually that common.

The pay for a graduate at Level Crossings is great, very much above what I have seen for other graduate programs.

Pay is very good but I think I'm getting the pay of a VPS 3 while doing the work of a VPS 4. I think we either should get a pay rise or not have to increase our workload in the final rotation. Mid year lump sum is something to look forward to.

Pay and bonuses are adequate for the work and hours expected.

Good pay and benefits and covered by VPS Enterprise Agreements, so guaranteed payrises.

Very satisfied as someone not even two years into full time work.

I think the pay is pretty solid for a graduate role. I had several other offers, but this was by far the highest paying role I had an offer for (and also my first preference, so it was an easy choice!). Getting a salary increase every year is really nice too, and the way this is done is very transparent so I can't complain. There are also the mobility payments which are a nice bonus and a one-off cost of living payment coming soon potentially which will be really helpful.

As it is a vps role we are under the Victorian Public Service Enterprise Agreement which is negotiated on our behalf. I am happy with my compensation and feel that there is clear guideline on pays and progression within this.

The pay is higher than average when compared to competitors in the industry.

For a graduate level, pay is somewhere in the middle to good range. Bonuses only come once a year through movement within the band. The bargaining agreement leaves something to be desired as inflation has greatly reduced real wages, but overall, remuneration is good.

Very good for a graduate

Being in the government sector right now, there is a lot of security with pay and the role. I am comfortable with what I get paid and opportunities to progress further and am able to live quite comfortably.

I don't believe that there are any bonuses but progression is available every year.

Public sector wages, no bonuses but generally fair.

Amazing pay for a grad job!

Pay is fantastic for a grad. Note: bonuses are not given in public organisations.

Work life balance Samsung discounts Novated car lease Health checks/vaccinations

We don't have any bonus perks that I'm aware of.

We have access to heavily discounted gym memberships for a variety of gyms across Australia. We also have access to a cashback website (similar to Shopback or Cashrewards) which can have quite good deals. This includes discounts or cashback on things such as groceries, insurances and general shopping. We also have access to study leave and you may be able to have course fees paid for courses relevant to your role.

A lot of freebies

The leave policy for the organisation is quite good! I also appreciate that if I have to travel for projects, I am able to use the work cars.

Reproductive health leave.

Free skin-checks and cheaper membership to local gyms

FItness Passport is great value for gyms/fitness. Carpooling options are great. Leave loading is fantastic too.

I think the leave policy is really good, getting leave loading is really amazing.

There are little to no perks from this perspective, although this is quite normal for government organisations and does not affect my satisfaction in the role.

Flexibility in work, generous personal and carers leave. Good free health checks / services too.

Deals with many shops and cafes in the city, and membership with Palace cinemas (my personal favourite).

As a grad, you receive work boots, high-vis vest, jacket, hard hat - everything you need to go on site!

Training. Health check-ups. Wellbeing initiatives.

Discounts on nearby restaurants and facilities.

You get some pretty cool work gear (boots, jacket etc.)

There aren't many perks, but we do have a loyalty card that gets us discounted prices at a number of goods and services businesses in Melbourne

Minimal perks as we are government PPE provided for free

Life comes first, work comes second.

N/A - As a government organisation we are tight on spending public money on items that do not improve the project outcome.
