  • Throughout the program you'll gain a broad view of the career pathways available at GHD, helping you understand where your strengths and interests fit.
  • You'll have the chance to work in design teams to help deliver exciting projects, contribute to bids and tenders, and gain hands-on with occasional site work.
  • In Year 1, you'll focus on the fundamentals of consulting to help you find your rhythm in the industry.
  • In Year 2, you'll have flexibility to shape your development, either deepening technical skills or learning from mentors.
Frizz-free application process

We want your journey to be as smooth as possible. Here's what you'll need to prepare:

  • Your CV: A snapshot of your studies and experiences, paid or unpaid.
  • A cover letter: Show where you'd like to grow within GHD and demonstrate your communication skills.
  • Your transcript: Helps us understand what you've learned, from core subjects to electives.
Your journey to joining GHD

Here's what to expect, step by step:

  • Screening: We review applications as they come in, with the bulk after applications close.
  • Video interviews: Record answers to a few questions to demonstrate your communication style and interest in GHD.
  • Meet the team: Face-to-face or virtual interview with your prospective team and behavioural questions.
  • Psychometric assessments: Quick tests to understand how you like to work and your strengths.
  • Offer: If successful, we'll discuss salary, start date, and background checks.
Inclusion and adjustments

We're committed to being inclusive and giving everyone an equitable chance. If you identify as neurodiverse or have a disability and need adjustments, let us know in your application form—we're here to help.
