Who could you be at GHD?

Are you a civil engineering penultimate, or pre-penultimate student looking to kickstart your career with an internship over the summer? Or perhaps you've already done an internship but keen to see whether Consulting is the right fit for you?

At GHD, you'll collaborate with a talented multidisciplinary team, contribute to meaningful projects from day one, and have opportunities to grow your technical and professional skills in a supportive, inclusive environment.

We offer:

• The chance to work on landmark projects that make a real impact in WA
• Access to mentoring, training and professional development programs
• Flexible working arrangements and a culture that values balance
• The benefits of being part of a proudly employee-owned business where your voice matters

A frizz-free application process:

We don't want your journey to be as complicated 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 behavioral 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.
