Overview

GHD Graduate Program 2026 – Civil Graduate – Wollongong. The two-year Graduate Development Program is designed to give you a smooth start to your consulting career. You'll work with peers, managers and mentors to tackle challenges in the transport sector, with the Rail team delivering innovative solutions to keep trains moving and infrastructure resilient. GHD has been employee-owned since 1928, with about 11,000 people in over 160 offices across five continents.

Responsibilities

  • Tackle complex challenges in special trackwork and transit space design, ensuring curves, turnouts and crossovers meet exacting standards.
Program structure

Our two‑year Graduate Development Program provides exposure to design teams, bids and tenders, and occasional site work. In year one, the focus is on fundamentals of consulting to help you find your rhythm in the industry. In year two, you'll have flexibility to deepen your technical development or learn from mentors.

Application requirements

  • A cover letter: explain where you'd like to grow within GHD and showcase your communication skills.
  • Your transcript: demonstrates your coursework and electives that sparked your curiosity.
Start date and inclusivity

This role starts in February 2026. We are committed to inclusive hiring; if you identify as neurodiverse or have a disability and need adjustments during any part of the process, let us know in your application form.

Selection process

  2. Video interviews: You'll record responses to a few questions to help us understand your communication style and what excites you about GHD.
  3. Meet the team: An interview with your prospective team to discuss your skills and experience and to get to know us.
  4. Psychometric assessments: Short tests to understand your working style and strengths relative to the role.
