Career Prospects at GHD

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.

I haven't had promotions as I'm still new, but i have seen many people rewarded for their hard work and commitments.

Career progression seems to follow a set path of scientist/engineer to project manager to project director to technical director. You either go into management or go into a technical role

I am not getting any opportunities to make me feel like I am making any career progression

At this point in time there is a clear path to complete the graduate program and progress to a 'full' engineer as the next step in my career. It feels like there are plenty of opportunities within GHD and my team to do so and specialise a bit more - and it seems like most specialisations are very in demand so there's plenty of choice. After that I'm not so sure, there seems to be a gap at the moment where there are a lot of grads and a lot of very experienced senior engineers but not many people in-between, so I'm not sure what the opportunities there are like.

There is a lot of emphasis in the company on taking opportunities that arise, so even as a graduate, if an opportunity to gain a new skill or work for a different team has been offered to me, I have taken it. These opportunities are regularly offered, and new career opportunities are constantly shared amongst staff. Working at GHD has made me a highly sort after professional.

I have only been working full time 3 months so it is hard to assess this early on

I have yet to be in a position to say so.

There are promotion opportunities however don't know too much about the exact process at this stage. It does however seem like it will be a long road.

While I am a graduate there isn't too many promotion opportunities but after I finish my two year period you can progress to engineer and apply for RPEQ status and then try for senior engineer.

I can see a clear positive career progression path for me in GHD and I have been moved upwards through positions already. This is very important to me. I believe it takes hard work and a focus on quality, and building internal networks and reputation, to move up the ranks.

I cannot really say much as I am only new to the company.

As graduate i would expect i am promoted after 2 years

At this point, it seems to be related to tenure and consistent work ethic.

Experience in projects, winning work are required. Both time and quality of experience.

Since transferring to a department more suited to me, I feel like I could stay at GHD for my entire career.

Not too aware of promotion opportunities at grad level.

Its clear that there are several paths/branches to go into if thats what you're after (i.e. management or more technical based). Similar with key client representatives or other internal positions.

Promotions are based on merit, performance and level of experience.

I'm unsure on how to move up just yet. I am guessing I'll find more about this in the future but for now am just working through the graduate program.
