Reviews
I feel like the work I am doing in the environment team is making a real difference. I love the opportunities I get to help train and develop others. Raising awareness about the environment in our work is greatly rewarding. I also love being able to assist on sustainability projects and improve operations on-site. I feel as though I am contributing to the sustainability of our company and reducing the impact we have on the planet and the community.
Day-to-day responsibilities vary and can sometimes leave a lot of spare time in the day. Often complete the same tasks when they come up.

Pros and cons of working at Fulton Hogan
Pros
I think the best thing about the company is the open working culture within colleagues. I was a bit scared as I am a chemical engineer but I was about to work in a construction/civil company. But, as soon as I started, I felt welcomed and at ease. The team I started with was just amazing and helped me settle in perfectly. Couldn't have asked for a better start.
Extremely supportive and friendly seniors that encourages, guides and mentors graduate to excel in their roles and provides opportunities to gain exposure/ experience in the industry.
The opportunities to learn, being given the time and space to travel between sites, to train and learn new things or refresh old skills. Having a team of incredible people that I can turn to for support and ask questions!
The atmosphere is super friendly that fosters growth and collaboration. The abundance of amazing learning opportunities to equip me with valuable skills and knowledge, complemented by a well-structured graduate program.
I think the best thing is the opportunity to work alongside a wide range of people and disciplines, opening your eyes to so many different skill sets. This gives you the opportunity to constantly learn, particularly as I am not from a construction or engineering background. Everybody in my direct and wider team is open to assisting me as well as having a laugh while still delivering great outcomes for the community. I really enjoy the top-down positive and cohesive environment that the team here provides, in more ways than one. I really enjoy working here!
Cons
You have to be quite adaptable, given the organisation's requirements are constantly changing you have to switch up what you are doing quite frequently.
Work Life Balance.
Long Working Hours, and Very Remote Place.
Long commute time to different projects.
Sometimes I work long hours (I like my job and the work, so I'm okay with it, but others may not be).
