If you're eager to explore career opportunities and contribute to impactful projects, we encourage you to submit your interest and become part of our community.

What Is the Early Careers Talent Pool?

The Early Careers Talent Pool is not a job application for a specific role. Instead, it's an invitation to connect with GHD and express your interest in joining our team, even if you're unsure yet which area best suits your ambitions. By joining, you'll be considered for future opportunities that match your background, interests, and skill sets as they arise.

  • Who should join?

    • Have legal authorization to work in the country where you are applying  
    • Be available to work in person at least 3 days per week  
  • Fields of interest: Engineering (civil, environmental, mechanical, electrical, chemical, structural), architecture, project management, environmental science, digital solutions, data analytics, sustainability consulting, and more.

What We Offer

At GHD, you'll find more than a job. You'll discover a place to learn, grow, and make a difference. Our Early Careers program provides:

  • Professional Development: Access to mentoring, Graduate Program, learning modules, and workshops designed to build your technical and soft skills.

  • Career Progression: Clear pathways for advancement based on merit, initiative, and your desire to learn.
  • Social Responsibility: Participation in sustainability initiatives, volunteering, and community outreach projects.

Who We're Looking For

We value diversity in every sense—background, heritage, academic discipline, work experience, and thought. We are seeking candidates who:

  • Demonstrate curiosity and a willingness to learn.
  • Are passionate about creating positive change in society and the environment.
  • Have strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Can work well independently and as part of a team.
  • Are solution-oriented and eager to tackle new challenges.
  • Embody integrity, professionalism, and respect for others.

How to Apply

If you are driven by a desire to build a better world and want to join GHD—even if you're uncertain about your exact fit—we invite you to submit your profile to our Early Careers Talent Pool. This process is simple and opens the door to future opportunities as they arise.

This pipeline is exclusively for early careers talent based in Canada.  If you are interested in another location, please apply through the available Talent Pool specific to that country:

  • Optional: Attach transcripts, portfolios, or references that showcase your achievements.
