Realising Your Potential
PB has developed the Realising Your Potential (RYP) program to enhance personal and professional development opportunities for our employees. RYP is an annual process that enables employees and managers to develop a joint understanding of an individual’s performance, and sets up commitments to achieving mutually agreed development goals. Progress is reviewed at mid-year. RYP aims to provide greater recognition of the role an individual plays in satisfying the needs of our clients, our employees and the broader community, which PB sees as critical to our continued success. We continually review and enhance our program to meet the needs of employees and our business. Truly a global company
With well over 10,000 people in offices around the world, PB is truly a global company, offering access to a diverse range of challenging and innovative project opportunities and an extensive network of industry professionals. This global network is accessible, diverse and flexible, with a genuine focus on sharing knowledge, contributing to exceptional project outcomes for our clients and providing opportunities for our people.
PB is working on major projects throughout Europe, Asia, the Pacific and the United States. Staff from PB in Australia are influencing the technical and professional outcomes on many significant infrastructure projects both in Australia and abroad.
Practice Area Networks
A Practice Area Network (PAN) is a network of PB employees globally who share similar professional interests and work within the same discipline or practice area. The PANs encourage communication and mentoring activities among PB employees, and have been the source of knowledge sharing and innovation on many projects.
All levels of staff across the globe participate in and benefit from their PAN involvement. The PANs are unique in our industry and provide an excellent way to network globally and to receive guidance from leading experts in fields that interest you.
Opportunities for advancement
All our technical, professional, managerial and administrative staff have contributed to PB’s success. The company encourages individuals to pursue excellence, recognition and advancement, no matter what their area of expertise or strength.
We have defined career paths and a strong internal recognition and accreditation program to highlight your achievements across professional, project management, general management, business development, administration, and drafting streams. PB is a company that realises the potential of our people and aligns individual career paths with our business growth and success.
PB’s commitment to professional development extends beyond our own business, with the possibility of secondments to work for our clients and key industry partners, both interstate and international.
Professional membership and participation
Professional associations and industry bodies provide PB and our people with greater scope to support their continued professional development and new approaches to addressing wider professional issues. With financial and other incentives, we actively support the involvement of our people in their professional association, and we are committed to fostering our relationships with the industry bodies that represent our diversity of skills and capabilities.
Research, innovation and excellence
PB is held in high regard for its commitment to technical research, innovation and advancement. PB has a proud tradition of contributing to, and enhancing, the bodies of knowledge that support our professional practice.
We invest significantly in programs that support our people to achieve excellence in their areas of practice, and to set the foundations for them to build on their position of pre-eminence in their field. With global initiatives like the Emerging Professional Paper Competition, the William Barclay Parsons and Henry Michel Fellowships, our global technical exchange programs, and our research and innovation programs, many PB employees have been granted significant financial and time resources to invest in achieving and advancing their technical excellence.
Knowledge sharing
An organisation can be defined as the collective capacity of its people to create value. With this in mind, PB is actively creating and nurturing a culture of knowledge seeking and knowledge sharing. By investing in our culture, technologies and systems, we aim to raise the ability of our people and of our organisation as a whole to deliver solutions for our clients and our communities.
