Enjoy the place you work

There’s that term ‘culture’. Every workplace has it, it’s hard to define but you feel it almost instantly. Our long-term team members say it’s this that sets us apart.

Higgins relies on inclusivity and diverse thinking, so we’ve shaped our workplaces to respect your comfort, encourage interaction and support unique work styles. We work autonomously within a nurturing environment. You’re trusted to deliver in all aspects of your role with guidance and mentoring from your senior leaders.


Enjoy life outside of work

In an environment driven by deadlines, work-life balance may not always be linear but we strive to achieve it for each team member. Recharge with annual leave days, make it home on time and leave work at work.

Our approach to people management starts with flexibility and prioritises your wellbeing. We’re understanding when ‘life happens’. We support our people and their families as best we can.

A social bunch, we also enjoy each other’s company in non-work settings like regular Friday drinks, breakfast BBQ’s, and annual events including our EOFY and Christmas parties.
