2019 John Holland Graduate Program – Communications
Location: VIC
John Holland is a fully integrated infrastructure and property group. Operating across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia, we have been transforming city skylines, connecting regional centres and providing vital infrastructure for more than six decades.
We believe the way we engage with communities and stakeholders is as important as the way we design and construct brilliant engineering solutions. We want to set new standards in the community and stakeholder space, and we're looking for the best of the best to deliver exceptional engagement for major Victorian infrastructure projects such as West Gate Tunnel, Metro Tunnel, and Level Crossing Removals.
As a Communications Graduate you will be involved in engaging project stakeholders and the local community, drafting tailored communications for multiple channels, identifying proactive media opportunities and devising strategies to mitigate construction impacts, all while working closely with some of the best talent in this field.
If you believe in the power of outstanding communications and engagement, thrive in complex, issues rich environments and are excited by the challenge of setting new standards, then we'd love to hear from you.
Our John Holland Global Graduate Program provides an opportunity to gain well-rounded experience both in technical and soft skills, whilst working for one of Australia's leading and most diverse engineering, construction and services providers. We are proud that many of our past graduates are now in various senior roles throughout the business and we look forward to developing the next leader in you.
Throughout the two-year program you will be supported through soft skills development, on-the-job experience and training, and opportunities to build lasting relationships with senior leaders representing John Holland's diverse operations. Our projects are located in both metropolitan and regional areas, so it is essential that you are prepared to relocate if required.
We understand that our greatest resource is our people. We pride ourselves on being a market leader in targeting training, career development and remuneration. We provide long-term career options within an equal opportunity workplace where we recognise the importance of flexibility and a healthy work-life balance.

Pros and cons of working at John Holland
Pros
Great company culture, looking after employees
Diversity of work and great colleagues.
The wide range of experience / different activities I have received on the one project.
A lot of experience, knowledge to be gained. Learning on the job Great graduate program with dedicated courses, learning modules and networking events.
Salary package is very attractive.
Working on Projects in different States. Being able to work across multiple engineering disciplines.
Cons
Long working hours and lack of knowledge sharing.
The failure to be rotated through the graduate program to experience different projects. The lack of acknowledgement from John Holland for the hours and time committed to the job.
The lack of focus on emerging technologies
Some graduates were not allowed to rotate as often as stated in their graduate program brochure (6 months per rotation) Quality of teams differs from project to project
Working for a rail business means there is a need for night shifts, weekend shifts and long periods of long shifts. It is not all the time, but it is also not a rare occurrence.
Could be pigeon-holed or just become a number.
