What Graduates Say About Them
  • The Work life balance and flexibility in working conditions. The senior managers are invested in getting results from their team. The line of work is focused on our capabilities, not the bottom line.
  • Degnan feels like an extended family. The crew is supportive and everyone wants to help and support progress.
  • The best thing about Degnan is how they treat their cadets with the cadet program. Throughout my time here I have felt very inclusive and have felt very comfortable going to my supervisor and mentor about questions. Not only that, even some of the colleagues that I don't work with are also happy to help which is amazing.
  • Inclusive team and I have gained exposure to various areas of work.
  • Very flexible work hours and days to be flexible around my time at Uni for my last year.
  • Career progression is slow from the Project Manager level upwards as it is a small company. Differing values between various teams within the business.
  • The systems are not as developed as some other companies. Opportunity outside of NSW and Rail is limited.
  • Limited resources
  • Tasks can be a little boring at times.
  • Travel isn't great at times but still very very good
