Reviews
As a Graduate Engineer, my responsibility is supporting the project manager to ensure the safe delivery of projects on time and under budget. Main key points include: 1.Planning and programming. 2.Sub-contractor Management. 3.Safety, Quality and Environmental Management.
Currently, I am a Leading Hand on one of Winslow's jobs. My day to day activities focus on the organisation and facilitation of site activities in conjunction with my foreman. Working closely with my Forman is a great opportunity to learn how to get the most out of a job by ensuring organisation and resource management. This includes working with engineers and project managers to ensure a productive project. This on site experience is intangible in setting my career up to become an engineer, which I am currently completing my Bachelors for.
Currently I am a KPI engineer in Winslow constructers. Usually the first half of my day requires me to be on site, track the progression of different activities carried out. Then on the second half of my day, i need to report on the progression to the project team, also prepare fortnightly/ monthly KPI reports to allow the project team to have an overview of how the business is going.

Pros and cons of working at The Winslow Group
Pros
The supportive working environment. Everyone in the team is really friendly and always willing to help, which makes work enjoyable and increases the chance of learning from one another.
The culture is something that you can't compare to any other workplace. Also, the way in which I have been trained up is also amazing.
Winslow is an established company with many career paths available within the organisation. The business is enthusiastic to train employees in different roles.
The leadership is great. They're transparent and communicative; they really empower you to grow and succeed in your role.
Work culture is amazing. Everyone's super supportive and collaborative. The team is so friendly and knowledgeable.
Cons
Pay rates are low compared to other companies.
Sometimes the work can be a bit slow-paced. There isn't a huge focus on engineering or technical side of things.
There are always aspects of a business that need improvement; Winslow is not immune to that.
Working in management has its own advantages and disadvantages: graduates are keen to learn, but reporting managers often bear the brunt of criticism when the team fails to meet expectations.
There are a few days where we have to stay back beyond 5pm, though management is understanding and flexible when needed.
