Job Satisfaction at Lendlease

I could be doing more engineering & less admin, but overall I can see the value in what I do and that helps keep me motivated.

Roles and task vary day-to-day depending on what the project demands.

Senior people need to listen and show appreciation!

Everyday at Lendlease I do something different which makes me excited to go to work. I always have work to do that varies between Environmental Engineering, Procurement and safety.

I'm currently preparing tenders and responding to requests for information. Involves some paperwork, making phone calls (talking to subcontractors), review and coordinate drawings from architects, engineers, and everyone else involved in my project. I attend a lot of meetings and sometimes get to visit sites similar to our project. In the grad program, I also spend a lot of time doing online learning courses. When tendering is over, I will have to review the submissions and meet with the subcontractors to discuss their tenders and make sure they haven't excluded anything to decide who will be using for the project. Then we will go to construction certification after which I expect to be heading out to site to supervise works, making sure all the materials our subcontractors bring to site and everything they build is as per our drawings and specifications. We also have to make sure they're complying with Lendlease's Global Minimum Requirements which control health and safety on site.

I enjoy my role, it is however very challenging.

I work as part of the estimating and procurement team for projects. I am responsible for sending works packages to subcontractors and consulting with them about the project. I also enter their submissions to comparison sheets which are forwarded to our estimators for analysis.
