Our Buildings team has created some of the most commercially successful and iconic structures of the 21st Century.

We are looking for graduates studying Engineering, Project Management, Construction Management, or Business Management to join our Defence & Project Management market in Canberra, ACT.

Eligibility Requirement

This role requires eligibility to obtain Australian Government security clearance. As such, applicants must be Australian citizens. We encourage you to review the eligibility requirements via the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency website: Eligibility and suitability | Australian Government Security Vetting Agency.

By joining our team you'll help to shape our cities' skylines and turn vision into reality.

YOUR GRADUATE PROGRAM

Our Asia Pacific, New Zealand, and Australia (APNA) program includes a variety of non-technical workshops, early‐career professional committee activities, self‐paced learning, and networking opportunities.
