Career Prospects at Western Power

This is possibly the one downside of working at WP: it is unclear about promotions and career progression possibilities. When I have asked, they either say its based on performance or it takes much longer than private firms, both of which aren't that nice to hear. But I expect this from a government organisation and don't mind as I'm here to learn.

Very good and flexible opportunities coming off the graduate program, with support by organisers to find a suitable role within the company, even if your program concludes before you find a role. After the program progression is dependent on your performance.

Standard processes - demonstrate you possess the right qualities/knowledge

Difficult to see where to go up right now.

As a graduate, at the moment there are many opportunities to apply for engineer positions.

Western Power is very strict on finishing the program even when you have been offered a position following a competitive process. Once the program I finished they can help you unofficially to find a position.
