Salary
Our salaries are market related and paid monthly. Annual salary reviews are undertaken to assess your salary to reflect market movements and changes in your responsibilities or skills. Bonuses are paid annually depending on company performance
and your own performance.

Income Continuance
We provide comprehensive insurance cover against any long term illness/injury and permanent disability that you may gain
while employed by MWH (only applicable for permanent residents), which if required will be paid at a rate up to 75% of your salary after a waiting period of 3 months.

Sponsored Membership of Professional Organisations
We will pay for your annual membership to a relevant professional body.

Leave and Special Leave
In addition to 20 days annual leave each year, we also provide up to 10 days paid leave to cover sickness. We also provide paid parental leave, bereavement leave or other special leave where you, your partner, dependent child, or dependent parent needs care.

Career Development Program
We will work with you to achieve your personal and career aspirations and will encourage you to take full advantage of our
comprehensive career development programme - including completing in-house and external training, taking part in our mentoring program, and undertaking certification or chartership relevant to your profession.

Young Professionals Group
Every young professional at MWH gets to take ownership over the development of their own career by being part of our Young Professionals Group. Being a part of this group allows every member to not only network with their peers to share knowledge but also the opportunity to learn from each other's experiences on a local, national and global level.

Opportunities to Travel
As a global firm with over 6,100 staff operating in over 37 countries we offer unrivalled opportunities for international work –
either as a member of project teams or through transfer to one of our network of offices.

Secondments
Many of our people gain great benefit from taking part in secondments to clients or to another MWH office. MWH trained people
are eagerly sought and we see client secondment as an excellent method for members of our team to broaden their professional experience and personal skills.

Smoking Policy
We operate a totally smoke-free workplace.

Social Club
Offices have regular social activities and team events–from BBQs and ten pin bowling to wine tasting. Most offices also have a number
of social sports teams with tennis, lawn bowls and golf.

Opportunities for share ownership
MWH is completely employee owned, which means you will be given the opportunity for individual ownership
in the firm after two years employment with MWH, a prospect that few engineering consulting firms can offer.
