Working at Eastern
Our people come to us from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Why do they choose EPS and why do they choose to stay?
In their own words here are their stories:
Christian
I’ve been with Eastern Property Services for over six years.
Prior to joining EPS, I was self-employed working in the domestic and commercial sectors of the building industry. Prior to my current position at EPS, I worked for a national company in operations and management before moving to my current position at EPS.
I chose to join EPS in 2016 as they were a growing business that clearly focused on delivering high-standard projects. In addition, they provided an excellent team environment and company culture to work for.
Working at EPS has personally proven to be extremely rewarding on a professional level. I’m surrounded by an amazing group of work colleagues that provide outstanding support.
One of my main reasons for joining EPS was the great culture. This provides me with a workplace with limitless opportunities for personal growth on all levels. It is an environment that I enjoy coming to work in.
As one of the senior staff members, I see a bright future in continuing to grow with the business. I also see myself progressing toward achieving my personal goals.
Matthew
I’ve worked at EPS for three years.
The company I previously worked for was a multinational construction consultancy firm. In my role, I divided my time between traditional Quantity Surveying and Asset Management consulting.
I decided to move to EPS as I wanted to change my career progression into a more construction-focused role and become a Project Manager. I started at EPS as a junior project manager. I have been able to work on a diverse and distinctive range of projects because of EPS. It gave me the chance to push myself and increase my understanding of the construction sector. Management has fully supported my career growth.
At EPS, we are strongly focused on work-life balance while maintaining a healthy work environment. Senior management is highly accessible and offers all the help anyone needs. You will gain experience by working on a variety of projects of all sizes and sorts. I appreciate EPS’s high faith in its workers.
Dan
I have been with EPS since January 2021
Before immigrating to Australia, I was the Managing Partner of a building services company in London. I have gained experience in Site, Project and Safety Management.
EPS is a well-established company with the potential to grow in the future. Though it is always busy and the workload can be heavy, the EPS team is always willing to assist and support.
EPS stands out from other construction companies because it never cuts corners and constantly looks for ways to adapt and improve. I couldn’t have found a more suitable company for myself. I am excited not only about my future within the company but to grow with the company.
Ben
I’ve been with EPS for 2 years.
Prior to EPS, I worked in various construction roles including as a carpenter and leading hand for two of Melbourne’s leading contemporary builders.
EPS was the perfect fit for me to step into a site management role. They provided and continue to provide ongoing support and training to enhance my career progression in the industry. The main attraction was the supportive and encouraging environment. This was evident as early as my first interview.
Working with EPS offers daily challenges to navigate through with the project team. This provides an excellent way to develop as an individual working within a team environment. We have such varied projects to work on ranging from heritage refurbishments to newly constructed sporting pavilions. These different types of construction provide great exposure to all facets of the industry.
I see a future with EPS where I will continue challenging myself to become a more efficient and productive Site manager. I will also work to deliver quality projects on time and on budget. I am working towards a Project management role within the company.
Kevin
I’ve been with the company for three years.
Prior to EPS, I worked for Tier 2 & 3 builders in South Australia. I worked also on the client side with the University of Adelaide as a Contracts Administrator.
I chose EPS as I have the opportunity to contribute not only to the success of the projects but also to the improvement of the company’s processes and systems, as management is always open to developing innovative ideas. EPS also supported me in transitioning from SA to Melbourne for the role.
EPS provides an excellent work-life balance where you are kept busy but not overloaded. Everyone gets along well and there is a positive vibe in the office and on-site. Management is very supportive and always welcomes suggestions and new ideas.
While many smaller companies claim a ‘family feel’, EPS trumps them all. They genuinely care about their employees and listen.
I am looking forward to continuing to contribute and grow with the company.
