Relaunch Your Career Program 2024 (Australia)

GHD's Career Relaunch Program is back in 2024.  
 

Are you looking to return to work after a career break?  

Returning to work after an extended career break can be challenging. That's why we've developed a Program to Relaunch your Career. Our program aims to encourage and welcome professionals back to the workforce in a flexible, supportive environment with excellent growth opportunities.  

This initiative is driven by GHD's dedication to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace. The Australia-wide program was first launched in 2017 and has since been an annual program that is growing every year.  

We will provide you with a support network and training opportunities crafted to ease your transition back into the workplace. After the program, there will be potential for ongoing employment with GHD for suitable candidates, however, this can’t be guaranteed.

See what some of our relaunch alumni have to say about this program:    

 “I’d like to thank GHD for selecting me to be part of this program which I have thoroughly enjoyed and am proudly employed by. I have never been part of such a supportive team and such a healthy workplace with boundaries that make employees feel important and recognised. I was nervous coming back into the industry, but I was quickly made to feel at ease with the amazing level of support, resources and people we have at GHD. I can’t recommend this program enough, even if you want to just see what the industry is like after having a long break, I would definitely recommend just trying it.” – Isabella l’Anson, Assistant Documentation Technician, GHD   
 

“As a mother of four, I felt resigned to the fact that after 10 years out of the scientific industry the only way back in was through full-time study. Then I found GHD’s Career Relaunch Program in 2018, which offered me a genuine opportunity to redevelop my career while still being able to support my four boys as a single parent. I was offered an ongoing role as Senior Environmental Geologist after the program ended, and three years later I moved into the Business Group Leader for Contamination and Environmental Management role and look after 40 wonderful professionals in this group.” – Emma Harrison, Business Group Leader – Contamination and Environmental Management, GHD 
 

“Thanks to the GHD Career Relaunch program I have gained valuable skills and experiences that will undoubtedly benefit me throughout my career. I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the amazing opportunity. From the moment I applied, GHD stood out to me as a place where I could grow both personally and professionally.” – Anna Jacobs, Sustainability Consultant, GHD
