GHD Reviews

Regular jobs are posted for horizontal movement in a company. Interests me as a new grad who can still go into new departments with an open mind. I can rotate into another department as a grad too.

The CSR is great - there is a greater emphasis placed on the company's commitment to ESG principles and sustainability in the work GHD does.

The culture within the office is great and everyone I've spoken to within and beyond my team is friendly and helpful. GHD's culture in terms of the hierarchy feels quite egalitarian in that people in leadership / higher positions also feel approachable/relatable and treat everyone with respect regardless of experience level.

I am comfortable being out as non-binary at work which is a huge testament to our LGBTQIA+ acceptance. There is a considerable effort being made to support minority groups.

I work on a range of projects, with clients typically being utilities or government. I have had exposure to a range of technical work, client engagement and business development. I also think GHD does a good job of engaging young professionals in all aspects of the visit (i.e. logistics/operations/business cases/recruitment). The structure feels flat, and everyone is approachable.

I am extremely happy with the managers in my team. They are social and connect well with the team while maintaining a professional atmosphere. They are very happy to accommodate whatever you need to improve your work-life balance.

Office space is good. We use a hot desking system that took some time to get used to but seems to be working now. I do not have an allocated desk in the office and book each day but this has not been a problem so far

I found the interview process great. Clear questions, and it didn't feel like an interview, more like a conversation. I had opportunities to ask my own questions. Afterwards, they were clear about response timeframes etc and I started working quickly, which I appreciated.

Although I have been happy with my pay so far, it is not remarkable by industry comparison in my opinion, and I expect appropriate increases as I move through my career and up the corporate ladder.

The formal training is pretty general, not job specific but it gives all the graduates and new starters a good idea of how the company operates. The on-the-job training has been great. There are a lot of seniors who are happy to teach you and help you develop your skills as long as you ask.

GHD encourages us to come into the office whenever possible but there is a good amount of flexibility to work from home. If I have personal commitments such as an appointment, it's never been an issue to leave work for a few hours and either make up that time later in the day or take a partial day of personal leave.

A lot of the work we do is directly related to reducing our environmental impact as a society, and all the work we do is informed by environmental considerations.
