Working Hours at South32

so far somewhat flexible 8 - 5

The company is flexible with hours, depending on your leader. You are usually still expected to be available from 8-5 (give or take)

7 - 4:30 with an expectation to stay back if the job requires it. Seems to be a culture to work long hours

12 hour shifts on a sportsman's roster. I work blocks of 4 or 5 days on, followed by 4 or 5 days off, aligning to get 2 weekends on and 2 off each month. I really enjoy the roster at the moment being young and having minimal commitments to family/people outside of work. Flexibility is great too, swapping shifts with colleagues is relatively easy.

12 hour work days on site for 7 days. Can work from home if really necessary although systems are very slow at home.

I have not needed to take any time off as yet; however, from what I have seen there is flexibility with annual leave and working from home if required.

Flexible working hours.

9 day (80hr) fortnight, usually quite flexible when needing to WFH etc.

When I'm on shift the hours are fairly set, however there is flexibility on what shift I work on. when I'm working in the office there is more flexibility around start times and days worked

Currently on my first departmental rotation in Coal Clearance where hours are slightly more i.e., 10 hours compared to other departments. In case if there's some urgent work outside of work I can leave few hours early after taking the permission from the Mining Engineering Manager or from the department's superintendent.

The company have been very understanding and flexible, but it has gone both ways.

As a shift engineer, it is a site-based role with clearly defined hours (6am to 6pm) so there isn't much flexibility with hours or opportunities to work from home. I don't mind this too much, but it can be frustrating if you work better in the afternoons/evenings as you only seem to be kicking into gear in the last few hours of the day.

Very flexible, I love hours that I work as I can leave when required if I have to do something at home and finish my day there. It is the most flexible job I have ever had and I wouldn't change it for the world.
