What’s it like working at Western Power WA?
AI summary of recent reviews
Employees at Western Power WA appreciate working with talented and helpful colleagues who collaborate well and support one another. The compensation and benefits are competitive, including good salaries and unlimited sick leave. Work/life balance is generally good, with work staying within regular hours and flexibility available. The company maintains a strong safety culture, making safety a top priority, and provides technical knowledge opportunities and exposure to challenging work in the energy sector.
However, there are some potential challenges. Management can be inconsistent, with varying capabilities across the organisation and sometimes a disconnect between senior leadership and frontline staff. The workplace culture can be political, with some employees experiencing favouritism. Career development opportunities may be limited, and communication from management can be inconsistent. The IT systems are noted as outdated, and the organisation operates with significant bureaucracy, including extensive meetings and red tape. Workload can be heavy, particularly during periods of frequent restructuring, which can create uncertainty.

Apr 2026Perth WA 60002 to 3 years in the role, former employee
Every day I questioned if I could manage to get through it without walking out. Life is too short.
The good thingsMeeting some great people, some opportunities to travel, made some friendships (often trauma bonding), good provision of tech to support your work, good morning teas, some very talented operators, workers out in the field do an amazing job at keeping the electricity on with limited resources,
The challengesToxic every man for himself culture, endlessly pushing social/ political agendas, censorship, fear of speaking out, disempower managerial hitmen, endless pointless meetings and "all ins", fake management, managers play favourites, induce mental breakdowns of staff whilst promoting "mental health" at the same time, making positions redundant whilst overloading remaining staff, staff avoid work rather than assist - often due to overload, hopeless IT and systems, poor/ weak management from top to bottom, lack of support, leadership could show appreciation for efforts made by all not just their favourites, transparency of information by management, distrust of management, woeful job and IT training, HR officers act in the interest of managers and themselves only, ridiculous levels of red tape that make doing a good job very difficult, bloated bureaucracy and management, ego overtakes talent, churn and burn of staff, great people forced out in favour of the toxic game players.

DO NOT GET A JOB HERE. you will regret it.
The good thingsNo good things as micro managed .
The challengesManagement are a joke....managers only interested in KPI s not keeping to agreed testing of shocks /fires and major jobs and doing small solar inspections to bump up KPIs and make the managers look good (non compliant with ISP). When questioned they got very unprofessional.
