Why choose Environmental, Governance and Social areas as a grad?
Empowerment, protection and accountability are key drivers for these teams who create the change that counts. With experts across safety and wellbeing, climate change and sustainability, human rights, and Social impact, a graduate career here will see you create positive impacts for people and planet. You’ll also often work alongside professionals from other areas of the firm, applying your specialist skills to a broad range of industries, clients and challenges.
Choose your pathway
Everyone’s career is different, and we support unique growth and pathways. With a range of disciplines and specialities, you can start in one place and go almost anywhere as you build your career here.
Our Environmental, Governance and Social teams sit within the Business, Consulting and Risk pathway. Apply to this pathway and you’ll have the option to select the stream of work you’re interested in. Not sure or open to something new? No preference means we’ll match you where your degree and interests fit.
Location of this job: nominate your KPMG office location during the application process.
What is being a consultant?
You’ll be part of a team of experienced and early-career professionals who work on solving problems. The client (they could be an international company, a local charity, a small business) brings us a challenge and we create a team and a plan to help solve it. That team will be made up of colleagues from several disciplines and backgrounds so we bring the best ideas to the table – there might be supply chain colleagues working alongside an environmental specialist, human rights experts, and change and communications professionals.
The work depends on the client and the problem you’re helping them solve. You might be researching and gathering information, like how have we helped another client with a similar challenge and how new technologies could help, updating project plans, as well as the delivery of the solution your client selects.
