Join a global professional services leader.

We are committed to solving the world's biggest challenges in the areas of water, energy, and urbanization.

Our Transactions and Infrastructure Strategy team is looking for an Engineering graduate, with a passion for Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) within the Infrastructure sector and who's keen to forge their career in this multidisciplinary and dynamic team. Joining a strong group with over 30 commercial and engineering staff you'll have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects across Australia and internationally whilst being connected with a global Advisory practice with over 350 people and 10,000 professionals in GHD worldwide.

Working in either our Sydney or Perth offices via a blend of remote and office-based work, you'll mix with a strong cohort of graduates and other early career professionals – you're sure to find your tribe once you start.

We're looking for someone who:

  • Has recently graduated, or will graduate at the end of the year with a degree in Engineering coupled with either Commerce, Finance or Business
  • Is passionate about M&A and the Infrastructure sector
  • Strong communication skills
  • Any prior experience in a consultancy / professional services environment will be highly regarded.

What will you do in the role?

  • Work within blended commercial and technical teams on a range of large-scale infrastructure transactions
  • Work in teams for private and public sector clients solving their infrastructure problems and identifying opportunities in energy and resources, transportation and water
  • Assisting in writing proposals and reports
  • Connect in with a wider team of professionals to share insights, knowledge and improve your overall technical and commercial capabilities

What we offer:

Outside of the technical development you'll gain working within the Transactions and Infrastructure Strategy team, you'll also join GHD's Graduate Development Program. Our learning will provide you with an integrated two-year, holistic experience as we start to develop our future leaders and technical experts. Every GHD Graduate across the globe is included in the program, so no matter where your career may take you, you'll all start with the same learning experience.

During the two-year program, you will learn about our business and our values, your team and most importantly, yourself. You will develop your decision-making, communication, technical and important
leadership skills. We offer personal mentoring and a variety of development activities, including opportunities to work in our regional offices.

I have worked on a few different projects, but mostly doing similar repetitive tasks. I'm hoping to get some more interesting diverse work in the future once my current jobs are off my plate; it has been fine but mostly simple modelling / data entry / spreadsheet management / report writing / basic repetitive design, sometimes for interesting projects but the work itself has felt quite rote and not really engaging.

Pros and cons of working at GHD

Pros

  • The people I work with are so very supportive. It is also great to be part of a multidisciplinary organization. Any questions I have regarding another discipline are just a Teams message away from an answer.

  • Great mentoring - Amazing team & people - Senior employees motivate young graduates to push themselves - Interesting & variety of work

  • Working on a wide range of projects around Australia/overseas. The people I work with and the knowledge and time they are willing to share to help you learn

  • Good opportunities to explore different types of work, and in different environments. Travelling for work. Work with a range of professionals at different levels. Very clear structure and progression.

  • The people are really genuine, it really feels like the team wants everyone to have the best opportunities they can and support each other to produce the best results. Have never been made to feel like my development isn't important and feels like people and the company as a whole genuinely want to create an enjoyable workplace and help graduates grow.

Cons

    • Keeping your hours to budget. Sometimes things take longer because you are new, and it is stressful making sure tasks are done within the timeframe set.

    • A good work-life balance can be hard to achieve working 8-5, 10 days a fortnight. Especially when delivery dates are approaching and some additional working hours are sometimes expected.

    • Working with timesheets can be difficult when you are running out of tasks to complete, however, my team is great at handing out new work when I am out of tasks to complete

    • Not much for me personally, but I know others have had issues with little support from upper management or unreasonable expectations from line managers

    • The occasional short timeframes for delivery of projects that I have been pulled into last minute.
