A frizz-free application process:

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. 

• 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: 

• Virtual Assessments: If you make it through the first stage, you’ll record some answers to a few straightforward questions and complete some cognitive games. This helps us get a better sense of your work style and alignment to GHD Graduate roles. 

• Meet the team: If you’re successful, you’ll have a face-to-face interview (wherever possible) 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! We’ll talk through all the finer details, like salary, your start date, our onboarding process and what to expect before your first day. 

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.

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.
