Management at GHD

My manager and team leads are all amazing with both positive, and constructive feedback. I have never worked in a more supportive environment.

We recently had a structure shift with 2 new team leaders. My team leader is fantastic, they're an excellent communicator and have assisted me with lifestyle and working changes, and with technical development. They give feedback well, constructive and praise. They're a proactive communicator. I find our technical director more approachable since this change, and our BGL very approachable and empathetic.

Flat culture means everyone is approachable.

I am extremely happy with the my managers in my team. They are social and connect well with the team, while maintaining a professional atmosphere. They are very happy to accommodate whatever you need to improve your work life balance.

My manager is extremely accessible and a great mentor. Always willing to communicate on any issues outside of work that may be affecting career and extremely understanding. Could not be better

Very good and knowledgeable however with the changes in our team, it can be hard to catch them at a good time. Very good at letting you know when you've done well on a project though.

The managers are very accessible and happy to have a catch whenever. My managers are not really my mentors instead the senior engineers on my team are as the managers are usually very busy. Every three months there are performance reviews where you go over your goals for the next few months or years and they let you know anything you can improve or what you are doing well.

All have been very willing to help and mentor. Easy to approach, happy to give feedback.

My team leader has been excellent. Very approachable and always happy to help. They've given great feedback through our check ins and are always keen to get me involved in what I'm interested in.

I think there is access to your managers if you reach out but I think there needs to be more care for YPs/Grads and check-ins/guidance. I do not have a mentor yet but feel like when grads first join they should be buddied with someone in their discipline. The approach to the internal tasks is done on a quarterly basis

Very accessible and approachable.

Team leads are good, praise and recognition happens occasionally

I have regular sit downs with my direct manager. Most of my feedback comes from the senior I take my work from.

Managers are easy going and happy to answer any questions. They provide good feedback on project work and have a praise process in place through monthly meetings.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with the managers I have interreacted with. Whether this be through giving me praise, mentorship, or dealing with issues that I have.

The managers have always been accessible and ready to lend a hand at a moments notice. I have always recieved helpful feedback whenever I have asked which is great for my learning. My project managers have always been very supportive, understanding, and have given credit where credit is due

Its a little difficult to approach managers at the moment as there are not enough middle management mentors to provide support in the absence of senior Managers.

I am happy with how supportive Carla Pignatelli is. She is very understanding. I have not really worked with others managers closely, however it's been great to learn from their expertise.

I was able, before I had even started working for GHD, to meet up with the water team BGL to talk about career progression and opportunities. This was an invaluable experience and taught me so much about the company. This is a very common story, there is no disparity between graduates and managers, everyone works within a team and while approval and other seniority requirements need to be met, it is very simple to have a conversation with a senior person and you never feel as though you are below them.

It would depend on the manager, I would say that it is mostly positive. Many managers are very busy so do not always have the time but they all try their best to be available.
