Australia: Bovis Lend Lease Australia - An Employer of Choice

“I really enjoy my role as it is so varied – it’s hard to describe a typical week, let alone a typical day,” says Christian Adamson (pictured).

Employees described the benefits of a career with Bovis Lend Lease in the recent Sydney Morning Herald Employer of Choice supplement.
Christian Adamson joined Bovis Lend Lease, the project management, design and construction arm of Lend Lease, as a graduate in 2005. Since then, he has worked on a number of projects as a site engineer and has his sights set on wider horizons.

“I’d heard many good things about Bovis Lend Lease during my studies and was impressed with the career opportunities offered by a global company,” Christian says.

“During university holidays, I worked at a smaller construction company, but soon realised that I wanted to be involved in larger-scale projects, so I was thrilled to be able to join the Lend Lease Graduate Program.”

Christian’s experience represents just some of the hundreds of projects currently being undertaken by more than 8,000 Bovis Lend Lease employees working across more 30 countries worldwide.

As a global business with regional hubs in Australia, the US and Europe, Bovis Lend Lease provides opportunities for employees to work on different teams, in different parts of the business, and in locations around the world.

“I’ve had the chance to work on several different projects,” Christian says. “I’m currently in Sydney, but will soon be working on a major shopping centre redevelopment in Newcastle.

“After that, who knows? I’m keen to explore overseas opportunities and, given the scope of the company’s UK operations, a role there would be really exciting.”

Bovis Lend Lease encourages and supports employees to explore new skills and careers within the company, and supports employees through flexible work practices, learning and development programs and overseas work opportunities. Additionally, Lend Lease Foundation provides programs for the benefit of employees, their families and the community.

Foundation’s employee and community programs are just two ways in which Lend Lease demonstrates commitment to sustainability – socially, environmentally and economically. Lend Lease leads the industry in the creation of environmentally sustainable workplaces, including its global headquarters, 30 The Bond, the first five-star Green Star commercial office building in Australia.

As Christian says, “Working for an organisation committed to sustainability means that I, like all Lend Lease employees, can feel confident that we are leaving a positive legacy for future generations.”
