Salary at Powerlink Queensland

Above average

We are paid well for our industry and experience level.

Starting salary is good and pay progression happens at the end of each rotation (every 6 months).

Pay is good

Pay is good compared to the industry average. There is gainsharing at the company so if the company performs well you get a share of the profits.

Pay for a grad is very good

Pay is good but bonuses are small.

I am generally satisfied with my pay, but the promised pay rise from my first rotation hasn't been applied yet.

High starting salary with quick pay progression. No bonuses but there is gainsharing pay.

The pay and benefits that Powerlink are above industry standard. There is too much to list here, but If you're interested in finding out more, the Working at Powerlink Union Collective Agreement lists everything you need to know.

The pay for a graduate position is competitive but still less then our direct competitor Ergon. It is also less then mining companies. the pay progression scale as a graduate is a good idea & gives you a reward for your achievements. The bonus as a graduate is small to say the least at about 0.5% of your yearly salary. I was expecting at least 5%. I am hoping this is only a graduate thing...

High starting salary with pay progression happening every 6 months on top of a yearly pay rise. No bonuses but there is a yearly gainsharing payment.

I am very happy with the pay as a graduate, the pay progression is generous.

The pay is at industry standard. The workload, work life balance and the people make it seem better than industry standard. As for bonuses, they vary depending on which agreement you are on (WAPA, TEC)

cheap tickets to events and attractions as part of the social club. discounted things like health insurance

Leave flexibility with RDOs and Public holidays is great, along with office amenities: cafeteria, parking, social club, etc.

Free parking on site, subsidised gym and cafeteria.

Having parking and a gym on campus is helpful

Best perks include RDOs and cheap gym membership.

Best perks: flexible work arrangement and good company culture. Unusual perks: lots of food from events and conferences laying around the office

Powerlink has a subsidised cafeteria where you can get cheap breakfasts and lunches. And if you're a gym junkie, Powerlink also has an onsite gym with membership only costing $2.50/week. There is also a generous amount of secure undercover parking.

As a power utility I thought we should get a reduction in the energy bill. We are a part of the energy bill. It is unusual we don't get any reduction. The best perk is having no forced redundancies, so they essentially can't fire you after your probation period.

Good parental leave, private health discount, moving expenses. Will pay for further education like bachelors, masters or MBA.
