Salary at Hydro Tasmania

Salary in line with national averages. Overtime is paid.

Good graduate wages. Bonuses are good but do not apply to new employees. Expect a fair jump if employed afterwards.

Reasonable for graduates with increase each year.

Base salary is bang on industry average - not super exciting, but pretty good. This is a bit of an insult for grads - we do far more growth and development than any other people in the business because we are new, but are still limited to 1%+CPI pay rise. Bonus of 0-3% I think - not too bad.

Starting pay could be a little higher for an engineering role, however it certainly isn't the worst. Off the top of my head, bonus is a couple of percent

Bonuses are very small, and you could argue the pay is on the lower side. However, the company pays overtime and typically requires you to do a lot of it as a mechanical engineer. I think you'd be very happy with your effective salary at the end of the year!

The salary for engineering graduates is above the national average so I have no complaints.
