Career Development

Are you ready to give your career a boost?

Shoulder-to-shoulder with industry experts… fostering innovation, technical rigour and achievement of results.

Choosing the right environment has everything to do with how well you can grow your career.

Let’s face it, finding pathways for your talents and professional aspirations is as much about formal development opportunities as it is about the calibre of people you’ll work with.

The T + T career development framework ticks all the boxes

It is tailored to maximise on-the-job learning with a raft of opportunities and support that will let your talent shine.

It goes without saying that formal coaching and mentoring, informal development discussions, internal and external learning and development courses, study assistance and professional memberships are all part of the recipe for mutual success.

In a nutshell: you’ll find fertile ground for growth

In the context of a culture where people are recognised as the most important asset, this approach brings out the best.

It makes T+T way more than just a place to work!

Diversity & Inclusion

Our people are our most valuable asset here at T+T Group. The experience, knowledge, innovation, self-expression and talent our people bring to their work make up a significant part of our culture, reputation and achievement.

Everyone matters at T+T Group, and we value diversity in all that we do. Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where all our people can realise their full potential and create and sustain a better world.

Creating a truly inclusive workplace is an ongoing journey, and we continuously strive to be better for our people, clients and communities.

First Nations Peoples

Our Reconciliation Action Plan has been launched and formally endorsed by Reconciliation Australia. This outlines our commitment to reconciliation with First Nations peoples. There is a lot to be done within the industry. T+T Group’s vision is to understand First Nations people’s experiences and how we can be inclusive in our work and contribute to national reconciliation.

Gender

We are actively engaged with the Growing Greatness Programme, which supports our intermediate-level women to develop and progress in their leadership careers. 27% of leaders at T+T are female, and we are striving to increase in this number.

To support our non-binary/gender non-conforming staff and clients, we are working to provide gender-neutral facilities at our premises wherever possible.

LGBTTQIA+

Tonkin + Taylor and Geotechnics are Rainbow Tick certified. We are committed to supporting Rainbow diversity and have established a dedicated Rainbow Network to provide a safe, supportive space for our LGBTTQIA+ people and allies to meet, share and connect. Supported by Rainbow-inclusive terms and imagery throughout our internal communication, the network contributes to increased Rainbow visibility throughout T+T Group and ensures our LGBTTQIA+ people have a collective voice.

With the support and guidance of our LGBTTQIA+ staff, we are developing policies and guidelines to support an inclusive and informed working environment.

Flexibility

Flexible working increases wellbeing, employee engagement, innovation and performance.

Built on trust, respect and a genuine commitment to high-performance outcomes, our flexible working culture enables our people to create their own work-life balance and helps us attract and retain the best talent.

Sustainability

Our Purpose: Our people, through their leading expertise, create a legacy of outstanding value for our clients, environment, and communities.

This Sustainability Policy sets out our aspirations, commitments, and actions to respond to the global and local sustainability challenges facing our natural environment and society. It will support us in credibly delivering on Our Pathway (Purpose and Values) and demonstrating our contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals in our own operations, and through the work we do with our clients. We will update the Policy as we develop and implement our strategic response in each of our three impact areas.

Our greatest impacts are in the following three areas:

  • Provision of targeted sustainability services for our clients
  • Our ability to deliver sustainable outcomes across all our projects
  • Our people, communities, and the footprint of our operations

In this policy, we consider how our collective actions can reduce negative impacts and maximise positive impacts in each area.

Sustainability Services

Our expertise includes sustainability strategy and reporting, along with understanding and managing specific challenges within sustainability, including climate change adaptation and resilience, environmental management systems, natural hazards and disaster risk reduction, biodiversity, and water quality. We are committed to ensuring that our people remain at the forefront of approaches to respond to these challenges and provide strategic, long-term thinking for our clients and our communities.

Delivering sustainable outcomes on all our projects

Through our portfolio of projects, we can influence all aspects of sustainability.

T+T aspires to work with clients that have aligned values and sustainability objectives. We choose projects and clients where our advice will be taken on board, such that our involvement will leave the environment and communities better off.

In addition to providing our clients with the best technical advice and solutions, we are committed to building the ability of all our people to consider the wider context and potential impacts of each and every project. This includes considering the details of the project across its lifecycle, as well as the systemic view of how our contribution might positively influence other sustainability outcomes connected to the project.

Internal Sustainability

T+T is committed to ‘walking the talk’ and integrating sustainability into our operations.

We are implementing a wide range of sustainability initiatives to minimise our environmental footprint, support our people and communities, and enhance our natural environment.
