Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia GHD Full time $45,000 - $60,000 per year

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?
Are you looking to kickstart your career with an internship over the summer?

We're looking for a motivated candidate to join our Architecture & Design and Building Engineering team in Newcastle as an intern for a three months period, with the prospect to transfer into a formal cadetship obtaining an Advanced TAFE Diploma in Civil drafting and documentation.

  • You'll assist in working on varied projects across a range of clients as a Documentation Technician (intern).
  • Assist in the preparation of technical deliverables in the form of design drawings based on engineering calculations and sketches.
  • Collaborate and work on major projects alongside industry leading senior technicians, designers and engineers.
  • Get meaningful feedback in your internship and we'll help iron out any kinks along the way – and if all things go well, we would look to transition you into a permanent cadetship.

A frizz-free application process:

WeDontDoHair but we do 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 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.
  • 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
Our Summer interns generally commence in November and finish up mid-late February to coincide with our next Graduate intake. A number of our interns also continue working in the business on a casual basis after their formal internship period has wrapped up.

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.
