About
Downer is a leading provider of integrated services across Australia and New Zealand, supporting customers to create and sustain the modern environment. With more than 26,000 people and a footprint covering all corners of both countries, its operations are deeply embedded in local communities, and the work it does is almost as diverse as its workforce. The company's success rests on the contributions of its people, and it aims to create an inclusive and flexible workplace that is both challenging and fulfilling — one where people can bring their most authentic selves to work and where differences are celebrated as a source of innovation and creativity. Flexibility is part of everyday culture and looks different for every role and every person; the business actively listens through employee engagement surveys to understand what is working and to protect a healthy work-life balance. Gender equality and representation sit at the centre of Downer's Inclusion and Belonging strategy, which sets targets for diverse representation from the Board through leadership, management, the general employee population and non-traditional roles. For people early in their careers, Downer offers Graduate and Apprenticeship programs alongside opportunities to move between different parts of the business through internal mobility and formal secondments. Development is supported through several programs, including LEAD (Leadership Excellence at Downer), a formal development program for frontline and function leaders that builds core leadership capability and results in a Certificate IV in Leadership Management, and regular Share and Learn sessions that offer short, interactive insights across a range of topics. The THRIVE program brings together leadership, professional development, learning, wellness and capability work with the specific aim of cultivating talented women at all levels, while the EmpowHER women's network gives female employees a place to connect, share experiences and receive guidance. Downer's impact on the communities it serves is vast, and giving back to those communities is a core part of its purpose and values. Through its focus on sustainability, Zero Harm policies and practices, and community partnerships, the company works to keep its people and communities safe. Its vision for reconciliation is one in which all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are treated equally in all relationships, their cultures and histories are celebrated and respected, and they have equitable career opportunities leading to secure economic prosperity — pursued through a Reconciliation Action Plan, partnerships, sponsorships and donations.
