Ghd Risk Consulting Graduate Program

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?

Our Risk Consulting business enters projects differently to our Engineering Design teams. We work with our clients to understand where a variety of Risks can occur in their business and then provide advice & solutions on how they can best be managed.

If you're looking to get a taste of what Risk Consulting within the Infrastructure sector looks like, and are studying a Chemical Engineering degree, or have been exposed to Risk in your studies, then a role in our team in Perth would be a great fit for you in 2026!

A little more about the role can be found below:

• Undertaking Hazard and Risk assessments to identify with new and existing assets and processes
• Manage & mitigate these risks, significantly reducing the likelihood of events occurring
• Enhancing business operations and safety from the boardroom to on-the-ground projects

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.
