Description:
Why choose Engineering as a grad?
Smooth-running infrastructure projects are good for business and good for the community – you can be part of delivering some of Australia’s biggest and best. Engineering graduates help clients plan, deliver, track and maintain large-scale infrastructure projects, from sports stadiums to railways, often working as part of cross-functional teams. If you’re good at seeing both the big picture of a project’s aim as well as the smaller moving parts, use your degree to start something big with us.
Location of this job: nominate your KPMG office location during the application process.
About rolling intake: We run two rounds of recruitment: main intake (now closed) and rolling intake. We aim to fill as many of our roles as possible through the main intake but, of course, things change and new roles come up. Applying to the rolling intake means your application will be reviewed as a suitable role comes up (and it does happen!).
What your day as a KPMG graduate could look like
You’ll be part of a team of both 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.
The work itself is varied depending on your team and the client, so expect to build knowledge of several industries and businesses. You might be developing and managing project workflows, conducting feasibility studies for infrastructure projects, helping clients to optimise asset management strategies, performing cost-benefit analyses, or providing ideas and advice for smart planning decisions.
