Salary at John Holland

Really good

Pay is good, above average for a graduate engineer. They also look after you well in terms of extra leave, maternity and paternity leave and flexible public holidays. I am unsure if graduates receive bonuses.

Good starting salary, but not when factoring in the hours worked.

The company pays fairly well for my area of work. I understand the graduates in the year above me have quite significant pay rises in the following years.

I am on good pay for an entry level position, however I've realised that the project you are on dramatically impacts this. If you are based out of an office then the contact hours tend to be less and there is more flexibility, making it a great salary. Many site based projects are very different, however, with you logging longer hours, earlier start times, less flexible working arrangements. Even with all of this, the pay is still good, but if it was 10% less, I imagine many people would leave these roles as it is very demanding.

Pay is quite good for a graduate, although there is no overtime for weekend work or longer work days. Bonuses vary year to year and project to project.

I think my salary is very good for me as a grad.

Good graduate pay, I think it is higher than average. However super is lumped in with take home salary.

Discounts on gym, insurance, cars, travel, accommodation, Qantas club membership, lots more

Free dinners

2 extra annual leave days a year.

Family day events at projects and free tickets from some of our projects (e.g. stadium openings.)

The company has made it clear that they are trying to combat the stigma of mental health within the industry. They provide free phone consultations with therapists and even added two extra leave days P.A. My perception before joining the company was that the industry doesn't care about these things. I have been quickly proven wrong and it's great to see this.

Free dinners, BBQs, drinks

There's an employee benefit program where you can get a discounts on some flights, hotels, stores..
