**We’re GHD.**

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

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 Group Health, Safety, Environment and Quality team are on the lookout for our next graduate to start with us in 2026 In this role, we’re looking for a graduate with a **degree in Health & Safety (or related discipline),**and someone bringing a passion for occupational, psychosocial and psychological health, possibly with an additional background in psychology (but this piece isn’t mandatory).

- Exposure to the intersection of HSEQ, Enterprise Risk and People teams in the build-up and delivery of our programs
- Engage with HSE and People professionals from around the world as you grow your skillset and understanding of the challenges of operating in a global environment

Our two-year Graduate Development Program is designed to give you a smooth start to your career, and you’ll be intertwined with all of our graduates across the APAC business. Alongside your peers, managers and mentors, we’ll help you detangle any challenges along the way.

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.

- **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.
