Career Prospects at BMD

My graduate contract is 18 months long, which gives me plenty of time to gain experience to be a site engineer. From there, another two-four years is required to become a project engineer. In all honesty, I am currently doing work required from a site engineer, and am starting to do tasks for a project engineer. This is encouraged by my managers if they believe I am capable, which makes things much easier to be promoted in the future

I am satisfied with the promotion and career opportunities. My manager has spoken with me and has advised the next steps and what it looks like long term.

clear career paths

I asked to be assessed for a promotion, and it was granted.

Promotion possibilities: - Graduate Engineer - Site Engineer - Project Engineer - Senior Project Engineer - Project Manager - Senior Project Manager - Construction Manager To move up the ranks can be challenging, however very rewarding. To focus on where you are at the moment and apply yourself to your work is always a great start to getting a promotion.

Lots of room for upward growth, as long as you're willing to put in the work. You do need to make connections with management, to make sure your work is visible to them.

I am satisfied because I know there is opportunity to progress. I know that as the business changes my progression may change. Uncertainty can be confusing but I am ok with that.

Our Senior leadership team has provided us with a chart to show how the grads are going to get promoted throughout the years.

At this point, I am still a rookie who does not know anything at all because working is so different when in Uni, and Uni does not prepare you the work you will encounter. I will do my best to complete and do my work as much as I can.

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.
