BMD Reviews

Promotion process is very transparent, with each 6 months having a performance review. Setting out goals/objectives and understanding one's strengths and weaknesses. One is able to track their progress throughout the year.

BMD has great involvement in many community causes which I thinkg is great.

Culture in BMD one of the best. Everyone respect each other regardless of which country you are from, you age and gender. When needed help everyone is there for you.

We have a lot of different kinds of people with all sorted of background working at BMD. From what I have seen, there is no current issues I am aware of in SA in regard to diversity. We have more female graduates than male graduates right now, and roughly equal men to women undergrads in SA.

My role has been positively challenging. I have had the opportunity to develop my HR skills as well as implement new ideas for the business.

Managers are very open and are always more than happy to help. Mentors are very good, more than happy to share their knowledge/expertise and taking the time to explain concepts. Even with hierarchy, managers always facilitate inclusion for everyone.

As purely based on site, office sheds are spacious, well ventilated and excellent general housekeeping. Dress code is full PPE.

The hiring process was amazing, and they organise a lot of stuff for you, for the interview,. It was the Construction Manager who did my interview and it turneds out to be like a casual talk. I was so nervous at first but then when we started talking, I become comfortable and at the end of the interview, he told me the good news right away that they are happy to proceed with my application

Pay is good, and they seem to reward people well for good work and dedication.

Training and development at BMD is exceptional. They put you right into the challenge and at a realistic pace. Foundation modules are also a great initiative, being able to see the management team and absorbing their wisdom/experience to better the company. Everyday on site duties have allowed me to be a better leader, communicator and an effective listener.

I work between 40-50 hours/week. The work life balance is the best I've experienced in my career.

Environmental controls are very strict working at BMD where we always aim to plan for minimising our environmental footprint prior to job start.
