MEGT Australia Ltd

a typical day at work involved assisting tradesman/technicians and engineers in maintaining and commissioning UPS systems
ive been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to learn about a field of electrical work that most electricians don't get the opportunity in

the culture was fantastic and all the supervisors were supportive and made sure us as apprentices were always utilised and learning our trade

the hardest part of the job was probably it being a bit slow paced, I personally prefer to be active and being hands on instead of waiting for computerised results during the testing procedures that were in place

the most enjoyable part of the job was the the fact I've had the opportunity to experience a specialised field of electrical work that many electricians don't get the opportunity to do.
I believe my experience in such a specialised field aswell as having experience in domestic, commercial and construction during previous stints as an apprentice holds me in good stead to be a well rounded electrician

MEGT is a very large company, that had a lot of very experienced people, and MEGT didn't do enough to keep them when they were approached by other apprenticeship centres, and they then recruited very in experienced staff for very crucial positions, then closed all communications with internal departments, which made it very difficult to track paper trails due to software changes, and no further training on internal processes, and under staffed departments.

MEGT was not a company that was very innovative, and depended very heavily on government funding for the apprenticeship centre, and therefore, only reacted to changes, instead of being pro active, and making sure of how to continue with the upcoming changes...

the nature of the business meant that change was inevitable, but it seemed that they were always reacting when it became extremely dire, and reacted with mass redundancies. then with only a few months passing the positions that were made redundant, became available due to further change in demand.

In the 5 weeks of working with MEGT I experienced little training in our office .  Most is done by web chat from State managers.  Had a visit from one manager the first week when I had no access to material I needed for my position so that training wasn't beneficial at all .  Very bad communication from State management .  Lots of spread sheets and text and email reminders to speed up our progress after two weeks of no coaching.  Walked out when management scolded me for working in the new office on the Opening day where CSO's were invited for drinks that day.  Apparently we should have worked from home but not having ESP we went in.  Nothing was set up delaying my work but I did all required but management not happy.

Management show lack of care towards employees. Play favouritism & managers and even higher up managers gossip about other staff and younger generations in ear shot of those they're gossiping about. 

Apply as a last resort , they can either make your life miserable or fun and it's often miserable.

The CEO and board really need to review who they put in positions of power. At our office the morale is low, everyone gossips about everyone and management allows for information about others which should be confidential, be a known thing office wide.

Pros are theyre  up to date and ensure that staff are trained with all the safety procedures and online training.

Working for MEGT started off well however after a few years when the decent team leaders lefts you finally realise management is a boys club, hard working staff treated poorly and lazy workers rewarded. Could not stress how negative the environment was in the Sydney office. Receptionist literally sleeping at her desk, management constant gossiping about staff, poor staff morale and unprofessional work ethic displayed by managers. Would not wish working for this company on your worst enemy. 

Hard days, early starts and late finishes, lunch on the run.
Learned different jobs and industries, what it was like to be out on a job site and to make sure you had correct PPE clothing.
Management was good.
Co Workers were great, assisted you if you needed help.
Hard part was not being advised by employer of apprentices to changes of work locations or if apprenticeship was still going ahead.
Enjoyed being out on the road and meeting new people!

Been working for 3 months now. 
Site lead and regional manager are very understanding and supportive. Even staff from other sites are amazing. Have learnt a lot and so much more to learn.
Career progression is something I want to aim for and hoping to get more clarity as the time passes. 
The culture is amazing, good days, bad days but never felt like an outsider since day one.

I have loved working for this company. They had a keen interest in development of their team. The work was largely administrative, but you could feel the impact of your effort by helping young people gain apprenticeships. It makes a large difference to their lives and secures them skills which would get them employment for the rest of their lives.

MEGT was a major facilitator of Apprenticeships and Traineeships, while operating as a Registered Training Organisation for both domestic and international students.

It had a very committed management team and loyal staff who enjoyed working for the company.  The Board was highly supportive.

Its operations extended throughout Australia, Macau and, more recently, the UK.

I have been with MEGT for three months and my experience has been great.

My work is fullfilling (no two days are the same), the whole team is really supportive of me an indiviudal and the ideas I put forward.

We are a focused on servicing our clients to a high standard and looking after our people so they can look after our clients.
