Culture at Aurecon Australia

The company culture varies across offices; however, the Adelaide office culture is specifically caring and has a community vibe. There is no hierarchy, everyone speaks to each other as equal human beings. People collaborate and teamwork delivers solutions and best outcomes for clients. This has been successful and a reflection on the team culture we have in Adelaide.

Endorsed flexible working, family feel, strong morale and friendly environment. Opportunity to network internally.

Great teamwork, everyone is very approachable and friendly. Great atmosphere.

Professional, casual and everyone has fun while also being productive. We all know what we need to do at times but also be stress-free about it.

Our Resources and Manufacturing unit is very friendly and we will often hang out at the office during breaks or outside of work to catch up. Our unit is also multi-disciplined, meaning I am not only friends with other structural engineers, but also mechanical and electrical engineers.

Good flexibility of working hours and timetables. Networking is a strong point with social events happening frequently to meet new people within the company.

Overall, I do think there is a good culture at the company. I love that regardless of what hierarchical status, one does not need to fear talking to our C-suite executives. I also really love that there is a support group for the emerging professionals of the company where we can get to meet other emerging professionals ' so that we can feel a sense of belonging in the company. It can be difficult to integrate yourself into your first full-time role where a majority of your team may be older and have more experience than you. This group makes this integration easier. Cooperation is something that I see a lot of within the team. Everyone is very willing and happy to assist each other where it is needed. Communication with my team is mainly done through online means. I would like to see more of our communication done through in-person meetings that will help build our team engagement, as that is something, I feel that our team can really improve on. In terms of afterhours socialisation, this does not really exist within my team.

Office culture is moving towards flexible working. Still transitioning away from watching the clock. Flat hierarchy, particularly good for young professionals. Socialising is up to the individual and their teams.

Aurecon has an open desk plan that encourages collaboration and is perfect for a graduate as you learn from watching as well as asking. The company also encourages workers to relax (either via a Zen room or recreational activities), focus on our health (mental and physical) as well as developing our careers. Outside of work hours there are get-togethers at least once a month but often much more frequently.

Flat structured leadership style with traditional management organisation chart, well-balanced hours, great social and professional aspects within my immediate team.

Socialising is a very personal thing in my team. We have end of month drinks, which is a nice time to socialise with people who can make it. We have lots of people at project offices who don't make it sometimes. I eat lunch at my desk most days which I don't like.

There is an open lunch room where employees can gather and eat together. The leadership team is also very inviting and loves to communicate with interns and graduates.

Very supportive colleagues and wider teams, good social opportunities and understanding of outside work commitments.

Company offers plenty of events and experiences from both in and out of work, approachable managements across different departments, and friendly colleagues.

My team in the office is quite chatty but also really productive. Outside of work, there are plenty of activities to get involved in and a good group of graduates who get involved in most things.

The office culture is very friendly and welcoming. Due to the nature of the work, we are constantly working and cooperating in teams. The office arranges social events regularly, which are good, and instantaneous team coffees are a regular occurrence.

Surrounded by great people who are driven and work hard but are relaxed and realistic about work, deadlines, and life in general. I can go anywhere for help and guidance and am supported by all colleagues, not only those within my own team. Everyone is very collaborative, open-minded and respectful.

Overall, I love work. Some people are in the dark ages, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I mostly love the friends and connections I've made, and the Friday drinks and pizza are always fun because we have games too.

Everyone seems to be approachable even the leadership team. Culture of after-work drinks is heavily dependent on your team and friends, so it's always there if you want to go but also there isn't pressure to participate if you're not into that.

It is quite a large firm, so it is hard to get to know everyone, but everyone gets along quite nicely, and the social events are great even if I don't know many people in the room.
