PROBUILD Reviews
Reviews by PROBUILD graduate employees
pros
- The people - The support that the team has for each other is amazing. Every team I have worked in has had great comradery. There is always laughter in the office. The pace - I love how fast paced your days are, whilst the hours are long, they fly by. There is always something going on and you are mostly very busy. There is never a dull moment out on site.
- The opportunities made available to distinguish your best qualities. Also having surrounding mentors to teach and help build our construction knowledge.
- Team and the people
- Strong company support, great graduate program, career minded
- Being onsite to see construction processes in practice. Building landmark projects.
cons
- Whilst I enjoy my busy days, it can be very tiring and stressful. Also having to work Saturdays is less than ideal.
- Long hours, as expected in the industry
- Work life balance
- Working long hours and weekends.
- There are many admin/mundane jobs that need to be completed and those usually end up being the tasks for graduates. Some graduates are given far more of these tasks than others and you could be doing a role you dislike for some time.
What insiders say about…
Dependent on the module which you are completing at the time; day to day duties can significantly alter. Most recently I was working in contract administration which meant I spent a lot of time working from a computer and dealing with financial sectors of the site. I have now moved into a supervision role which sees me spending a majority of my day out on site in a live environment understanding the procedures and processes of the structure.
Great culture, lots of social interaction and team bonding.
Interviews where formal with 2 in person interviews and phone interviews taking place - over all the process was very succinct taking place over only a few weeks, the interviewers were clear in intention and ensured that the role was what I as the interviewee was expecting and where clear on their expectations of what I would be able to achieve.
The First interview was the most extensive and captured my background - future ambitions - interest in the industry - cultural expectations of the company - captured common negative and positive feedback to ensure that this career path met with my assumptions.
Be honest and ask lots of questions this is as much about understanding if you want to be apart of the company as it is for the company to assess your application.
Work is very flexible if you have sporting commitments, doctors appointments, car service etc. However, the regular hours are long. Generally 7am-5:30/6pm. Often you will also have to work Saturdays.
It's reasonable for the industry and definitely on the higher end compared to other industries, however, the hours are also a lot higher in construction. When averaged out over total working hours, it's quite mediocre.
The perks are quite standard. Haven't personally been exposed to any perks out of the norm yet.
Management is always available, with bi-monthly catch-ups held. Generally a high level of effective feedback is provided.
The training programmes are well organized and run smoothly. Based on my experience I feel that I have learnt a number of things which will help me in the future with my career.
