Job Satisfaction at Coles

Working on systems to make sure team member are paid correctly supporting the team in cost reporting

As expected for a graduate role.

-mix of in-person and virtual meetings, assigned jira tickets and git issues, making an effort to maintain network with fellow tech graduates and coworkers, reaching out to my manager for assistance on certain front-end development issues and questions

I'm currently doing software engineering, and I quite enjoy the work I'm doing. For a typical day I log on, check all of my emails, messages, team channels etc. In case there's anything I need to be updated on, then I begin my work, reach out if I need assistance etc. The team has daily standups so we can get up to date on how our work is progressing and as we complete cards move on to the next ones within the sprint. We are responsible for the engineering of the solutions that the business decides on. We are essentially value creators.

Moving into new role soon. Previous role involved connecting with people onsite and driving safe and legal behaviours.

There are team meetings - I have some deliverables I look after but also take care of ad hoc items. At the start of rotation there's a lot of learning to do and my manager would put in a couple hours to teach me the ropes or explain concepts to me.

Currently, I work in the central portal where I answer case queries from operational team members.

I just rolled into a new rotation in property finance. Most of my tasks involve helping with month-end processes such as helping with variance analysis tasks. But most of my day-to-day responsibilities are almost always on excel and working with numbers and formulas. I also end emails to other stakeholders to get information from them so my day-to-day responsibilities also include sending emails.

Communicating with stakeholders and be able to hold a good relationship.

Depending on your rotation it will vary, currently working with microservices written in java and spring boot.

Mostly happy with the type of work I am completing. I am able to get through all my tasks and support my team where they need. I have a set of daily and monthly tasks.

- mostly admin tasks - improving excel and powerpoint skills - quick enquiry for managers

Our main role is to learn new skills and take on new challenges. Each rotation you complete will have different day-to-day responsibilities. This could range from reporting to creating presentation packs, or engaging with stakeholders, project management, site visits etc.

My role as a graduate is varied. On my normal day-to-day, I handle the administration of numerous projects that I have to govern/manage such as replying to emails, meeting minutes etc. Outside of these day-to-day activities, I take charge of my learnings and engage in activities to further my skillset in the direction I want.

Implementation of trade media: creating briefs for media assets, setting up trade campaigns, communicating with external stakeholders to ensure our deliverables are met on time.

Finance: - month-end, journals, using sap and tm1, working on calculations wholesale: supply chain - managing a specific category, meeting with suppliers range - setting up new skus

Uphold sustainable sourcing commitments and programs

Talking with suppliers, creating strategic plans, working alongside other members of the team

I've completed a variety of different roles as a graduate. Most roles include bau work and reporting aspects that need to be completed weekly, project work, as well as some leadership responsibilities in projects. There is a great opportunity as well to learn and view aspects of project work that you cannot help with but is a great learning opportunity.

I'm given a lot of ownership over the projects I'm working on but my manager is always there if I get stuck or need support .
