Graduate Development Program

Our two-year Graduate Development Program is designed to give you a smooth start to your consulting career. Alongside your peers, managers and mentors, we'll help you detangle any challenges along the way.

  • Along the way, you'll get a broad look at the many career pathways available at GHD—because no future should come with split ends
  • You'll have the chance to work in design teams to help deliver exciting projects, contribute to bids and tenders, and even get hands-on with occasional site work.
  • In your first year, we'll focus on the fundamentals of consulting to help you find your rhythm in the industry.
  • By year two, you'll have the flexibility to style your development, whether that's diving deeper into your technical development or soaking up wisdom from your mentors.
Application preparation
  • 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
  • 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 to share your communication style and what excites you about GHD.
  • Meet the team: You'll have a face-to-face or virtual interview with your prospective team, with behavioural-based questions to learn more about your skills and experience.
  • Psychometric assessments: These quick tests give us a glimpse into how you like to work and your strengths in relation to the role.
  • Offer: If successful, we'll discuss salary, start date, and background checking.

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 neurodiverse or have a disability and need adjustments, let us know in your application form—we're here to help.

Start dates and opportunities

Most full-time roles kick off in February 2026, though some teams may have earlier start dates in mid-2025. There may also be casual work opportunities throughout your final year of study.
