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 Interested?
