GHD Graduate Program 2026/27 - WA - Project Manager

PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA, Australia

Job Description

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 Project Management team is looking for Australian Citizen graduates based in Western Australia with a background in Project Management to join our 2027 Graduate cohort, commencing in February 2027.

You’ll gain hands‑on experience across a range of activities, including:

• Support the planning and delivery of projects from inception to completion
• Assist with project coordination, reporting and documentation
• Work with clients, project teams and stakeholders to achieve project outcomes
• Monitor project schedules, budgets and deliverables
• Participate in project meetings, workshops and site visits
• Contribute to projects across a range of industries and sectors
• Build your project management skills through hands‑on experience
• Stay up to date with industry trends, tools and best practices

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. You’ll work collaboratively with peers across other disciplines within GHD, as well as with our clients, and connect across the business to share insights, knowledge and improve your overall technical capabilities.

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.

Start dates and opportunities

Most of our full‑time roles kick off in February 2027, though some teams might have earlier start dates in mid‑2026. Plus, there might also be casual work opportunities throughout your final year of study to give you a head start.

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.
