A slew of corporate roles are on offer in western Sydney, with bumper salaries to match.
More than 1800 people file into Endeavour Energy’s head office in Western Sydney each day.
“There has been a vast shift in how people feel about careers in western Sydney in recent years,” Melissa Irwin, general manager of people, culture and transformation says. “Making sure that people can work close to where they live and not have to come into the city creates a much more sustainable lifestyle.”
Like many companies, it’s grappling with a talent shortage. Vacancies persist across a range of roles, including engineering, electricians, technology and project managers.Endeavour Energy’s head of strategy and innovation role appealed to Melissa Doueihi, who traded in a two-hour commute into Sydney’s corporate heartland to work closer to home two years ago.
Now that she’s not sitting in traffic for so long each day, she has the time to train for half-marathon events, get along to a local book club and run around three children to their after-school activities. “It’s really important to get that flexibility and balance right if you want to achieve work/life balance, and I’ve found it.”The founder of West Recruitment Sean Johnston was born and raised in the Western Sydney region and has watched it grow and evolve over the past two decades.
“People want to work closer to home in western Sydney where opportunities exist to walk, run or ride your bike to work, and salaries are compatible with the city anyway,” he says.
