Operations Manager
One of the most satisfying things for me whilst working with Badge has been my career progression and seeing others achieve the same within the organisation. I started as a Site Manager and progressed to Senior Construction Manager and now am working as the Operations Manger in QLD. There are many similar stories at all levels from Labourers becoming Carpenters and then moving onto Site Management, and office staff having the ability to move and develop into new a different roles.
Applicant Q&A
Q - I've lodged an application, now what?
A - Our selection panel will be reviewing all of the information you provided. They may ring you to clarify certain details, or to complete a short telephone interview. The process usually takes at least a week, so please try to be patient.
Q - Will you let me know the outcome of my application?
A - We know that one of the things that job seekers can find irritating is not getting any response at all to their application. Our policy is to get back to every applicant in one way or another.
Q - Will I have to do a medical or psych test?
A - Depending on the nature of the role you've applied for, we may decide to do some pre-employment checks. We will probably speak to your nominated referees, or simply verify your previous work history. We occasionally seek verification of the formal qualifications that you've listed in your resume. In some instances (usually for more senior roles) we seek additional information to confirm that you will fit in to our culture or that you'll be able to handle the job demands.
Q - If I am invited to attend an interview, what should I expect?
A - We prepare an interview guide for each role and ask each applicant the same 10 - 15 questions for about an hour. Most of the questions will require that you provide us with a real example of how you've done certain things in the past. We like examples that include specific details about the situation where you can describe exactly what you did or how you responded and how things turned out in the end. We don't like examples that are too general or without details. Keep this in mind and come prepared to tell us about what you've done.
Q - How should I dress? Do I need to wear a suit?
A - Badge is not a formal organisation, but we are neat and professional. We all wear neat work clothes that are appropriate for our positions. If the role is senior or managerial, then a business suit or jacket are appropriate. The men may wish to wear a tie as well. For less senior roles smart business attire appropriate for your role would be expected. For site based staff, we would expect a neat and presentable appearance at minimum.
