We’re one of Australia’s best places to work, AFR says so

Celebrated for inclusive growth, purpose-driven leadership, flexible careers and a culture of care and connection. 

We’ve always known there’s something special about Symal—our own kind of secret sauce—and now it’s been spotlighted on a national stage. 

Yep, we’ve made the cut. Symal has landed a finalist spot on the 2025 AFR BOSS Best Places to Work List in the Property, Construction and Transport category. With more than 600 entries from across the country, that’s no small feat and we’re pretty chuffed about it. 

At the heart of our submission was the Symal Social Calendar—a year-round lineup of activities that brings our people together through genuine connection, wellbeing and just the right amount of fun. From bonus leave and cultural celebrations to wellness checks and community causes, it’s a reflection of what we’re all about. 

In an AFR article about what employees really care about, it came down to three things: having your back, doing meaningful work and having some say in how and when you do it. At Symal, we say, “Back yourself and we’ll back you” and we mean it. This moment shows we’re on the right track. 

Symal is more than just a place to work. It’s a place to be seen, supported and empowered to shape your own path. We’re proud of what we’ve built—and even more excited about where we’re heading.
