A big reason I love working at Tonkin + Taylor is the culture and my colleagues. Many different events that help connect different people and everyone is kind. I would love to see more Pacific and Maori people in the office.
Great group of people, flexible work hours and many occasions where people of all levels get together for morning tea, rooftop drinks etc.
Everyone is very kind and sociable. If I need help, they would set some time out to teach and develop me in my work. We have a structure of graduates, which is me as a new entry, then the intermediates, which have been here 3 years or more. Longer than that, you get project managers, usually 5 years and up and then project directors, technical directors, discipline managers, discipline directors, etc., I usually work with a few people from the office, usually the project managers for the projects that I am involved in and other colleagues. The project manager gives the work brief and make sure all the logistic side of things are sorted i.e, proposals, contracts etc., My team leader, keeps track of my development and have development chat sessions with me throughout the year to coach me on my development goals in my career. I usually socialise with my colleagues during lunch time. The graduates tries to arrange a social thing once a month. There are friday staff drinks once a month. Social club have lots of fun activities planned throughout the year.
