Pros & Cons
The best thing about working at VICTORIA’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.
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 rotation—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

Career Prospects
There are little to no promotion opportunities beyond the graduate program. The organisation actively encourages people to apply for roles outside of VICTORIA’S BIG BUILD.
Certainly through procurement processes there is an emphasis on social responsibility and uplifting different communities, as well as apprentices, cadets, etc.
I have had a great experience with my managers so far at VICTORIA’S BIG BUILD. They have been kind and accommodating and are never too busy to answer any of my questions.
I feel that they are investing a lot into our training and development. There are also many opportunities to join additional trainings that are being offered.
