Job Description

We're GHD.

We don't do hair. But we do straighten out some of the world's biggest challenges.

We're engineers, scientists, designers, architects, planners, advisors, innovators and change makers, committed to making energy, water and communities sustainable for generations to come.

Since 1928, we've been wholly owned by our employees. Today, we are 11,000 diverse and skilled individuals working in over 160 offices across five continents — Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America, and the Pacific region.

Who could you be at GHD?

Our two-year Graduate Development Program is designed to kickstart your career in civil engineering. Whether you're interested in structures, roads, geotechnical engineering, water, or rail, we'll support you to explore the areas that match your strengths and curiosity.

From day one, you'll be part of a collaborative design team working on real projects—helping shape infrastructure that matters. You might contribute to transport upgrades, support geotech investigations, assist with structural assessments, or help deliver sustainable water solutions. There's also the chance to get involved in tenders, proposals, and the occasional site visit.

In your first year, we'll focus on building your consulting foundation—helping you understand how projects come together and where you fit in.

By year two, you'll have the flexibility to deepen your technical knowledge, grow your networks, and tailor your development pathway with the guidance of experienced mentors.

A frizz-free application process:

We want your journey to be as smooth as possible, so here's everything you need to help you prep like a pro:

• Your CV: This gives us a snapshot of what you've studied and your experiences, both paid and unpaid.
• A cover letter: Think of this as your chance to show us where you'd love to grow within GHD, while letting your communication skills shine.
• Your transcript: This helps us understand what you've been learning, from your core subjects to the electives that sparked your curiosity.
  
  

Your journey to joining GHD:

Here's what to expect, step by step:

• Screening: We review applications as they come in, but be mindful that the bulk of our screening happens after applications close, so don't worry if you don't hear from us right away.
• Video interviews: If you make it through the first stage, you'll record some answers to a few straightforward questions. This helps us get a sense of your communication style and what excites you about GHD.
• Meet the team: Next, you'll have a face-to-face or virtual interview with your prospective team. We'll chat through some behavioural based questions to learn more about your skills and experience. It's also a chance for you to get to know us
• Psychometric assessments: These quick tests give us a glimpse into how you like to work and your strengths in relation to the role, complementing what we learn during your interview.
• Offer: Congratulations If you're successful, we'll talk through all the finer details, like salary, your start date, and our background checking process.
  
  

We're committed to being as inclusive as possible and giving everyone an equitable chance of getting through our application process. If you identify as someone who is neurodiverse or have a disability and need adjustments to any part of the process, let us know in your application form—we're here to help.

Start dates and opportunities

Most of our full-time roles kick off in February 2026, though some teams might have earlier start dates in mid-2025. Plus, there might also be casual work opportunities throughout your final year of study to give you a head start.

Ready to shine?

If you've got your documents polished and prepped, the application should only take 10-15 minutes. Apply now and take the first step toward an exciting career in consulting.

GHD: The Power of Commitment

At GHD, we don't just believe in the power of commitment, we live and breathe it every day.

Community impact is important to us, influencing how we work, our projects and how we give back. Our GHD in the Community program partners with not-for-profit organisations so that we can work on pro-bono projects, as well as volunteering and fundraising for philanthropic and humanitarian causes. As a business, we also channel some of our profits into the GHD Foundation , a registered charity that addresses disadvantage and inequality in children accessing STEAM education in the countries where we live and work.

Within GHD, our employee groups and networks help us foster community, find our tribe, and celebrate what makes us unique. These groups play a big part in our global diversity, equity and inclusion strategy, creating spaces for meaningful and safe conversations, connecting with likeminded individuals, and creating a voice to leadership.
