Our story

At Johnstaff, we are committed to attracting, developing, exciting and retaining exceptional people. With 200+ staff, we're an employee-owned business that's big enough to attract iconic projects and professionals who are leaders in their fields, but small enough to remain genuine and unpretentious. We're one Johnstaff.

Our goal is simple: to help Australian and New Zealand clients achieve the best solution for their business or infrastructure needs. 

We’re talking about significant projects - hospitals, roads, universities, transport hubs, schools and correctional facilities. We work on iconic projects throughout Australia and New Zealand. 

Some of our projects include Liverpool’s innovative Health and Academic Precinct, the NDIA headquarters in Geelong, Monash University’s New Horizon building, the cutting-edge Paula Fox Melanoma and Cancer Centre, Melbourne’s iconic Federation Square, Sydney’s connecting West Connex, Tuhiraki - AgResearch Lincoln Facility, Chatswood Education Precinct, Hopkins Correctional Centre in Ararat, Brisbane Airport Corporation’s warehouses, Port of Brisbane’s industrial precinct and Queensland Health’s big build projects! 

Our collaborative teams see the big picture because our project management and advisory peers work closely together to deliver the right results for our clients.

Our culture

We’re professional, genuine, and unpretentious. We think outside the square to find solutions that work. We don’t pull precedent off the shelf and call it a job done.

We’re looking for passionate, talented and collaborative individuals who won’t be afraid to tell us if they think there is a better way to meet our clients’ goals.

Our Graduate Program

Johnstaff’s Project Management Graduate program is open to Building & Construction, Project Management, Civil Engineering & Architecture students and runs for 12 months in an office-based role. This means that our graduates gain hands-on, client-side experience on a wide variety of projects and initiatives.

The program is designed so that graduates get real exposure to the client side across multiple industries – including the health, education, research and life sciences, justice, transport, energy, commercial and residential sectors.  

The program includes structured learning outcomes focused on:

• Project administration including the facilitation, reporting, and analysis of projects.
• Cost management and the processes involved in controlling project costs.
• Project procurement consultant engagement.
• Project programming and status reporting.

All graduates will have a dedicated buddy, and work within a team-oriented culture and supportive environment. Importantly, we offer our graduates permanent positions from day one.
