Life at Lucid

At Lucid, our people do more than deliver projects – they shape outcomes that matter. Their curiosity, commitment, and drive to do things better are what set us apart. It’s why we’ve built a workplace where people can thrive, grow, and make an impact.

Lucid started in Adelaide with a simple belief: we could do things better. Not by being the biggest – but by being the most thoughtful, responsive, and grounded partner to our clients.

Today, we’re a team of 350+ people across Australia, united by a drive to turn complexity into clarity. Along the way, our people have opened new offices, led national projects, and grown from graduates to leaders – shaping Lucid’s journey as they shaped their own.

Lucid’s culture is built on relationships – and creating an environment where people can do great work. It’s where curiosity is backed, initiative is supported, and growth isn’t just encouraged – it’s expected.

We’re a team that shares accountability.

At Lucid, we welcome everyone -different cultures, genders, backgrounds, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, veterans and their families.

Research shows some people hesitate to apply unless they tick every box. If you share our passion for creating a better world, we want to hear from you - even if you don’t meet every criterion.
