At Formiga1, we know that a career is built on more than just technical skills – it’s built on the people around you. We foster a culture where you are supported, heard and valued from day one.

Meet your future teammates

Real stories from recent graduates. What is it actually like to work here? Don’t just take our word for it. We asked our recent scholarship graduates to be honest about their experiences, from their first day on site to the best part of their week.

One of the biggest questions we get is: "What will I actually be doing?" Here’s a snapshot of a typical day for a Formiga1 graduate.

8:30 AM | The Huddle
Team meeting to align on the day's goals. We check in, share updates and make sure everyone has what they need.

11:00 AM | Boots on the Ground
On-site inspection at a new local school. Applying the Building Code in the real world to keep students safe.

2:00 PM | Back at Base
Working on plans back at the office. Using high-tech building analytics to solve compliance puzzles.

4:30 PM | The Wind Down
Friday afternoon team drinks and catch-ups. Celebrating the wins of the week with a group that supports you.

Starting a new career can be intimidating, but at Formiga1, you never work alone. We pair you with senior surveyors who have decades of experience and a "supportive, relational" approach to teaching.

• Open door policy: We listen. We have implemented many staff suggestions into our organisation because we value fresh perspectives.
• Guidance, not just instruction: Our mentors act as guides through the "minefield" of regulations, helping you navigate complex issues before they become problems.
• Community focus: We believe that giving back is "chicken soup for the soul." From charity work to local support, you’ll be part of a team that cares about the community as much as the construction.
