Transgrid Reviews

I'm in a 2 year grad program where I get 4x6 month rotations in various business areas. There are plenty of opportunities to grow and connect with various business areas throughout.

Engagements with indigenous communities. Stakeholder involvement prior to possession of site. Community outreach programs. I have personally worked on an R&D project with one of Sydney's top universities which engaged students in working with real-world projects and empowered their level of employability.

The culture is great. Most people are incredibly friendly and are happy to help and talk when needed. Outside of the office, I have only caught up with some other graduates and it was great fun. There is a clear structure and hierarchy but for the most part, people in the higher positions are very approachable to help with issues.

As a neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ woman, I've found this company incredibly accepting and understanding of me as an individual. There are many smaller groups including LGBTQIA+ and women's groups which allow for safe spaces in the company to discuss any issues in a place where you will be listened to and heard. I never found there to be an issue with anything I have mentioned to staff, everyone has been understanding and accepting of me right off the bat which has been an amazing experience.

The work is challenging and engaging. I am given important work and am generally provided with the necessary support to complete it. Rarely, I find myself underworked while waiting for senior staff to review/instruct me further.

My manager is very supportive, friendly and collaborative at all times and acts as a direct mentor to me. He takes extra time out to teach me new things.

Office space in Ultimo is fancy like all office buildings in the city, however, our Sydney West office has bigger space and feels more 'home-like'. The dress code is generally mixed: at Ultimo people dress in more formal office wear, however, at Sydney West, there are a greater number of field staff so we either wear our yellow high vis shirts or wear casual office wear.

Pay is very competitive when compared to other graduate positions. Overtime is available and lots of resources are available to ensure that employees aren't doing things out of pocket for work.

Transgrid takes learning and development very seriously and presents staff with many opportunities to improve their skills through a variety of training workshops.

The company is very flexible when it comes to work hours, making it easy to work from home if preferred (I primarily work from home, going into the office once a week to see team members). Managers are understanding when it comes to needing flexibility for a variety of reasons, however as with anything it's important to communicate this with them as soon as possible.

Transgrid puts a lot of emphasis on supporting renewables and investigating battery opportunities, even supporting renewable vehicle development and owning a fleet of electric vehicles. However, the nature of our work has an environmental impact. Where reasonably practicable, this is mitigated or reduced.
