At HG we believe work / life balance is important. We are open to flexibility around working hours and working from home when it's appropriate. As long as it works operationally for the role, then how you get the job done is up to you.

At HG, we put you in the driver’s seat of your career and development, and we’re right beside you all the way with support and guidance. We have a development framework called ProjectYou which encourages you to work with your leader to plan where you want to go and how you’ll get there. We’ll put a plan in place to get the work experience, technical learning, consulting and personal skills development you need to advance your career.  We wrap lots of support around you with leadership, mentoring, and learning, to help you build and succeed the career you want.

Our Graduate Programme is designed to give you the skills and work exposure you’ll need to get you ready for your next role as quickly as possible. Along with technical skill development, the programme provides a wide range of learning experiences to build your people and self-leadership skills, client and relationship skills, and project skills. Tailored learning in your area of specialisation is accompanied by a central programme built around leadership and soft skills. The programme kicks off with a two-day onboarding experience, followed by quarterly workshops and social events for the Grad community. Essentially, if you’re learning heaps, having fun, and achieving your career goals, we’re happy. 

At HG, we make YOU one of our most important projects. Regardless of whether you're here for 6 months or 27 years, our goal is to help you grow so that you leave better than when you arrived. ProjectYOU is a project dedicated to your professional growth - it's about making time for you and your learning, and ensuring that you're thriving personally and professionally. It's nothing complicated, just a set of conversations and tools to help you become even more amazing during your time at HG.

The conversation starts with what you want to achieve, big or small, in the next phase of your career (however long ahead you prefer to plan). You’ll then work with your leader, and other leaders in your network, to understand what's coming up workwise and how you can grow at the same time whilst making your contribution to HG. Then you’ll pull all of this together into your ProjectYOU Personal Plan and get growing!

We help people achieve CPEng, Cadastral Licensing, and NZPI accreditation by providing the work and opportunities they need to complete the application. We also provide a $5000 bonus to those that achieve this. 

That depends on your role. The variety and scale of our projects is impressive. You’ll be working on interesting and diverse projects from start to finish. You’ll also be working with talented colleagues across different disciplines.
