Reviews
Project management and admin. I have been given no project management training and am having to manage projects for PMs who do not care about their projects.
Emails. Teams meetings. Blue beam markups and actioning in autocad. Civil 3D Design. Lodging applications.
I have worked on a few different projects, but mostly doing similar repetitive tasks. I'm hoping to get some more interesting diverse work in the future once my current jobs are off my plate; it has been fine but mostly simple modelling / data entry / spreadsheet management / report writing / basic repetitive design, sometimes for interesting projects but the work itself has felt quite rote and not really engaging.

Pros and cons of working at GHD
Pros
The people I work with are so very supportive. It is also great to be part of a multidisciplinary organization. Any questions I have regarding another discipline are just a Teams message away from an answer.
Great mentoring - Amazing team & people - Senior employees motivate young graduates to push themselves - Interesting & variety of work
Working on a wide range of projects around Australia/overseas. The people I work with and the knowledge and time they are willing to share to help you learn
Good opportunities to explore different types of work, and in different environments. Travelling for work. Work with a range of professionals at different levels. Very clear structure and progression.
The people are really genuine, it really feels like the team wants everyone to have the best opportunities they can and support each other to produce the best results. Have never been made to feel like my development isn't important and feels like people and the company as a whole genuinely want to create an enjoyable workplace and help graduates grow.
Cons
Keeping your hours to budget. Sometimes things take longer because you are new, and it is stressful making sure tasks are done within the timeframe set.
A good work-life balance can be hard to achieve working 8-5, 10 days a fortnight. Especially when delivery dates are approaching and some additional working hours are sometimes expected.
Working with timesheets can be difficult when you are running out of tasks to complete, however, my team is great at handing out new work when I am out of tasks to complete
Not much for me personally, but I know others have had issues with little support from upper management or unreasonable expectations from line managers
The occasional short timeframes for delivery of projects that I have been pulled into last minute.
