What working within Synertec looks like
Meet Ashleigh, Synertec’s Head of Business Transformation. For as long as she could remember she had been interested in problem solving, and changing things for the better. That led her to study a combination of Politics and Materials Engineering. She started her career analysing steel defects in manufacturing. When the opportunity to join Synertec came up, she jumped.
That was over 12 years ago now. Since then she have managed complex projects, supported the IPO and listing process, prepared company budgets and financial reports, implemented company-wide systems, and led strategy development and performance reporting. “Every day has offered new challenges and learning opportunities, and i’m grateful that Synertec has supported that journey each step of the way.”

Jason joined Synertec in 2016 as a Principal Automation Engineer and has since held various roles, including Automation Manager and Head of Engineering. Jason shares, “I’ve truly enjoyed witnessing and contributing to the business’s growth over the years, and I’m proud of the talented team we’ve built.” Jason has spent the last 2+ years as the General Manager of Technology, helping drive the development of Synertec’s Powerhouse Technology.

General Manager – Technology
Meet Josh, one of our Automation Engineers here at Synertec. Josh initially studied Aerospace engineering, but soon found that it wasn’t the direction he wanted to head in. After taking a year off for travel, Josh picked up Electrical Engineering where he found a space to feed his curiosity. He took interest in sustainable energy, electronics, automation, and coding.
After graduating, Josh joined our team here at Synertec as a project engineer on a rail project, an automation engineer developing a DC microgrid controller, a test engineer on some of Synertec’s other rail projects, and more recently he has been working on a Technology project. Josh shares, “for the past year and a half, it has been amazing to work with and learn from so many great minds that are always willing to extend a helping hand and push me to be my best.”

Meet Susie, one of Synertec’s Data Analysts! After graduating in 2022 and gaining some early work experience, Susie joined Synertec as a Graduate Business Analyst, and “it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my career. From day one, I felt a real sense of belonging.”
Susie thinks that Synertec truly feels like a family. “The culture here is genuinely built on trust, support, and real relationships. People across all levels are always willing to guide you, share knowledge, challenge you in a positive way, and celebrate your growth and wins.” She feels that kind of environment has been a huge part of my journey, helping her grow from a Graduate Business Analyst into a Data Analyst, something she’s really proud of.
Having worked elsewhere before Synertec, Susie said “I can confidently say the culture here stands out. It’s inclusive, collaborative, and encourages you to bring your authentic self to work every day. If you’re looking for a place that truly invests in its people and feels like home, Synertec is exactly that.”

Our Recruitment Process
Firstly, before we get into the Recruitment Process, it’s worth noting that we are incredibly selective on who we bring in to our team. Maintaining our culture of values, collaboration and learning is absolutely paramount to our ongoing success as a business.
Our Recruitment Process is what kicks off our Employee Experience at Synertec, from submitting your job application or being engaged by one of our team members.
With the increased use of AI in the recruitment industry, Synertec has maintained a people orientated approach, ensuring that every application is reviewed by a skilled professional and vetted against our key selection criteria for each position.
Once individuals are assessed against our key selection criteria, we follow a streamlined interview process where we are able to move from initial phone screening, face to face interviews and final interviews with minimal delays. This approach is driven by our senior leaders of the business and by our Hiring Manager’s awareness of what it takes to engage top talent.
From here our automated processes help to push the process into the final stages of reference and background checks as well as contract management. Our modern HRIS system and practices ensures all boxes are checked for compliance and peace of mind whilst not disrupting our momentum!
Once all parties are happy and start dates are organised, our newly recruited team members will get started on the onboarding process where they will move through Synertec’s bespoke Induction process that will have them spending time with a range of our Operational Readiness groups as well as integrating them into their individual teams.
