John Holland Reviews

There has been progress over the past month in a potential promotion but it is still yet to be seen.

Due to the nature of the work JH performs, its CSR is not always in front of mind. However, I think promoting a diverse skill set among its people (through performing CSR projects) would be a great way to improve this area.

Close knit team and very friendly. Open and honest communication. Ratio of 10% woman and 90% Close-knitr as a female I feel included, safe and enjoy working here.

Recruitment quotas are applied to meet diversity targets.

Most days at work are enjoyable onsite. It gets hard at times after 12-hour days & 6 day weeks. With night shift rotation every 2 weeks.

Managers are excellent and even higher up the line still, have time to briefly mentor and explain things.

Due to the nature of project work, most spaces are temporary site offices, so the location and facilities are not great. Head office is nice. The dress code is PPE for on-site, business casual for office work on projects, and business for head office.

The hiring process took about four months for me. While it was longer than I expected, the HR team were good at contacting me about its progression and it was done in a professional manner.

Pay is good, and it is standardised across all graduates for the first two years. Bonuses are not large in our industry, but the pay makes that ok.

Graduate Program provides plenty of training. Depending on certain projects, there are training programs

The hours are fairly long, but this is standard for the construction industry. There is a bit of flexibility in terms of getting a few hours off for the following examples (i.e. getting your car to the mechanic, going to the bank before it closes). It is also largely dependent on the size of the team and the urgency of meeting deadlines.

Good general requirements across the company. Works with clients to improve environmental outcomes.
