Management at BCD Group

At BCD, managers are very accessible and supportive. They make a genuine effort to be available for questions and guidance, which is invaluable for my development as a junior engineer. They also serve as excellent mentors, providing constructive feedback and sharing their extensive experience. Internal communication is open and transparent. Managers approach performance feedback in a constructive manner, focusing on both strengths and areas for improvement. They regularly provide praise and recognition for a job well done, which helps boost morale and motivation. Their approach to feedback and recognition contributes to a positive and encouraging work environment.

My managers are pretty easy to get in touch with via teams, email or in person. The new performance appraisal system is employee led so you can book a meeting at any time if you wish to do a review. In general if you do a good job or put in a big effort on a project the project managers will thank you for your work which is nice.

They are excellent. Of the managers I have had the pleasure of working and conversing with, they are all approachable and very funny. In terms of performance feedback and recognition, they take a lot of time going through reviews and putting time aside to explain concepts if they think you don't fully understand what is going on.

With the structure of managers across disciplines, teams and offices there is always someone available when you need support. Regular check-ins create opportunities for regular feedback with open lines of communication, both written and in-person. There is a robust buddy system for the graduates and interns which enables graduates to have consistent mentorship.

Managers are often busy with calls / meetings or other tasks making it hard to communicate with them at times. They prefer you to report to your senior instead.

Very good realationship with mentors and managers, I sit in a sandwich between my mentor and manager so have great interaction and communication with them

Similar to all jobs and people some are easier to approach than others

They are accessible and make good mentors

It can be quite hard to get ahold of my geotechnical manager, but hes a very busy man so I understand completely. We have other senior engineers we can contact if we get completely stuck which is nice. Once my manager looks at something ive done, usually he calls me and explains what ive done wrong and things to look out for, for next time, so that is really helpful.

I like my manager. We have a young team. The leaders are full of passions and fun. My manager does make a good mentor.

I am satisfied with management they always make time for me if i need to talk or even to help me with my work/tasks, they are excellent mentors and are always showing me new things to make my job easier/more efficient. Internal communication is good and i enjoy reviving praise when it occurs.

The management are very approachable. Not sure if they make good mentors as I have not approached them in that way. There is not as much feedback on performance so that i can improve, basically could have more critical feedback. However praise, recognition and communication are 10/10

Satisfied with the immediate managers, as for the higher ups it took me a while to meet them. Praise and recognition comes internally from the team

I am very happy with how approachable my manager and my mentors. They are always more than happy to help. Sometimes it is hard to obtain ready feedback/help from them as she is in Tauranga but her emails, comments and meetings tend to be really useful.

I am very happy with my mangers, they all super easy to talk to across each team and so are the office managers, they all super friendly to each other and make good jokes which sets a good retirement to be around.
