Monadelphous Australia Reviews

I constantly talk to my current manager about "what's next" and progression and I'm happy with the opportunities available.

Fundraising for men's mental health, support of local government initiatives and support of less privileged high school students

The culture can't be faulted. There is an emphasis on recruiting people with a team-first mindset. There is a common understanding that we are all there for each other for professional and personal purposes. Everyone respects one another irrespective of roles.

I support my company's commitment to diversity. Unlike other organisations, the goals and direction are realistic, achievable and positive.

Safety, quality, cost, environment & people all fall into my role as an engineer. On some days I may be required to supervise on-site, on others I am in the office or in meetings all day. Monadelphous has a lot of expectations for projects, regardless of the size so it takes up most of my time trying to enforce those standards. No day is the same and I learn a lot.

My current manager is very approachable and makes for a really good mentor. We often have discussions about my progression and he is always offering advice and support.

Managers have their own office and everyone sits in their assigned seat with a cubicle layout. The office is located right next to the city and located along with the food street hub so getting a meal is walkable so it's in a great location. The building has a gym, sauna and there are 2 cafes downstairs. Dress code is the company's polo shirts (not compulsory to be worn), however, it is smart casual attire. We have casual Fridays.

The interview process involved a few different online interviews with one face to face interview which was part of an Assessment Centre. My references were contacted as well. I’d say it was a thorough process.

As a grad, the pay is evaluated twice as often as for non-grads. Generally, staff renumeration is evaluated annually to keep up with inflation and the market. For grads, there is the additional consideration of your experience gained and this is reflected in the calculations. Pay is not my primary concern but I am more than happy that I am able to support my family and be recognised for my efforts.

Graduates have a passport with ~70 skills they want you to learn, which is helpful to guide what areas you need to work on. They've provided confined space and working at heights training, safety leadership training, and are very generous with AIM training courses on anything from accounting to project management to communicating. I've also got a Diploma in Environmental Management supplied through my previous project.

The hours change depending on the project. They are very flexible when I am based in the office as I am able to move my hours around based on my workload, personal commitments, etc.

The company is always looking for ways to reduce its environmental footprint, such as through its renewable energy sector.
