Reviews
I am working on improving and adding to environmental resources available for training, conferences, and presentations. I am also working on some base documents for engineers to refer to in the planning/design phase of projects that address our core risk areas. This is to mitigate adverse impacts on the environment that could arise when the environment is considered during the planning phase. Also, to educate engineers about some of the solutions available and the resources that we already have at our disposal. Liaising with the engineering team, this could also result in a workshop potentially hosted by myself to train new engineers. Daily, I am taking part in meetings and building relationships with people across different business units and outside of KR, and learning about some of the challenges that arise in our field.
Easy going so far. It would be nice to get a little more work. But I'm still learning and enjoying it.
I have been involved with a variety of different duties such as assisting with procurement, design, and business-as-usual tasks.

Pros and cons of working at KiwiRail
Pros
The people. Everyone is so friendly, and my team has really welcomed me in. It's good that there are a few young people in the team. My buddy is just one year older, but he knows so much already. He's more than happy for me to ask him questions and have a good chat if I'm learning from it. The grads here are pretty keen to get amongst everything and it's just very good energy here.
Friendly atmosphere, well-managed graduate program.
KiwiRail is very supportive and will help you grow into the professional you desire to be.
Being a large company you have the opportunity to be part of a vast range of projects at once.
The flexibility within each team, and how welcoming they are. Great discounts and employee benefits, 5 weeks annual leave and they take care of you well.
Cons
Office location.
Technical difficulties with work device but that's kind of normal in any workplace.
Complicated business structure. Very big and silo's. Difficult to wrap your head around as a new employee.
Age-gap.
It's hard to get to know people due to the large scale of employees.
