Job Description

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 a student in your penultimate year or earlier looking to gain practical experience while you study? At GHD, we offer casual work opportunities that allow you to start building your career while balancing your studies. Whether your passion lies in Engineering, Science, Project Management, Architecture, or another consulting specialty, we’ll help you find meaningful ways to contribute. As a junior team member, you’ll gain exposure to exciting projects, work alongside experienced professionals, and get a feel for what a future at GHD could look like. You might find yourself supporting design teams, contributing to bids and tenders, or even getting involved in occasional site work. While there’s no formal program for casual roles, you’ll have the chance to develop foundational skills, expand your network, and explore potential career pathways within GHD. Think of it as the first step in discovering where your passion for consulting could take you! Please note that this opportunity is only valid for our Northern NSW offices, therefore it is a requirement that you are currently living and studying in the Northern NSW region.

We will keep your application on file for any future opportunities that may arise. Shortlisting: If your profile matches a team or available role, your application documents will be sent over for a hiring manager to review. 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. 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. #J-18808-Ljbffr
