Job Satisfaction at Victoria's Big Build

Exposure to very technical designs and projects. Generally relaxed but high-performance teams.

Provide support and guidance on Sustainability, Environment and Planning on Transport Infrastructure projects.

Attending daily Team meetings - Different and expected challenging tasks every week - Shadowing SPM and PM's to meetings - Getting feedback from the PM's.

Every week looks different. I'm usually out on site, dealing with stakeholders, writing and preparing collateral for the community.

Assisting and managing various activities on site. Every day presents a new challenge and opportunity to grow.

I am a graduate, so my responsibilities are not that large, and sometimes its feels like the work I do is not that important. But overall, the learning curve is good.

Currently working in the IT Support team which entails troubleshooting and handled staff requests regarding their software and hardware, preparing boxes of IT equipment for delivery to other sites and staff, as well as setting up new starters/finishing employees.

As a graduate, given a reasonable workload with a mixture of administrative and substantive work. Provided guidance and assistance throughout.

My current position has me helping to develop and deliver project-wide deliverables and assisting with organising stakeholder presentations. I would say I have been spending more time on the management side rather than engineering but that comes with the rotation I'm in.

Although sometimes slow, I have far more autonomy and responsibility (within my comfort zone) than a traditional junior graphic designer. I am not given the mundane jobs, rather a wide range of work that challenges and excites me.

Varied work but often very high level and too easy. Minimal technical work.

I have been working in the Sport and Recreation team for the past year. This involves preparing communications materials to inform the community about the upgrades we are completing at a number of sites. However, as a Graduate I find that I am often picking up work from many different areas of the business.

Requirements drafting, minute-taking and design review.

As a graduate our day-to-day responsibilities change often, something that I believe is a positive as it gives exposure to different roles that one wouldn't have access to if they weren't doing a grad program. Generally as a civil engineer I interface with the projects key stakeholders to ensure everyone is being heard and things such as design changes, land and property boundaries and traffic management is understood. Additionally, during my first 6 months with the project I was also a site engineer overseeing minor parcels of work including an archaeological dig within the project boundary (an awesome experience).

My role and responsibilities depend on the rotation that I'm completing. These rotations provide the opportunity to work on a number of different tasks with varying level of responsibilities

Takeoffs/staging/review design/report writing

Differs from day to day. As I'm currently on business rotations, difficult to get too involved with matters.

Every day is different. Can range from writing collateral, replying to socials, liaising with the design team to get publications out.

Generally satisfied but work load can be low a lot of the time due to the number of grads hired

My role involves preparing monthly journals and reports on a range of projects.
