At Tonkin + Taylor (T+T), you'll find much more than just a graduate job. You'll find people: 1000 bright individuals who are committed to making a difference through positively impacting people and our environment.

Don't just take our word for it! In March 2019, our clients voted T+T the 'Best Engineering Consultancy in Australasia' at the 2019 Beaton Client Choice Awards.

T+T are proud to be part of the Rainbow Tick Whanau and welcome applicants from rainbow communities.

Recruitment Process

Applications:

We look for graduates and interns with inquisitive minds from a range of degree backgrounds who are looking for an exceptional, open environment to help them succeed.

Check out the job description for each role you are interested in as it will give you more information on eligibility requirements and what the job may entail.

Interviews/Assessment Days:

At T+T, we take a flexible approach to our recruitment process and we regularly interview and hire via video call. In this flexible working world, we'll likely run our T+T Experience Mornings rather than video interviews but we will remain as flexible as possible.

If you're successful at the application stage, we will be giving you more information about the details of this day in our email communications.

Selection/Offers:

During our selection process we will be updating you as much as we can. We consider each application individually so it may take some time to let you know the outcome. We know that it is hard, but we thank you in advance for your patience as we consider numerous factors for each role.

  • There is no competition within the company, everyone tries to lift each other and provide help whenever possible.
  • Culture of the workplace, and the opportunity to work on a range of projects with many different people.
  • The support from my colleagues. The opportunity to get involved in interesting projects. The work-life balance.
  • The flexibility of working times and locations, and the people. I enjoy the freedom of choosing when I can work from home and the hours I do. It helps me balance my personal life and work schedule.
  • Lack of intermediate staff who you can go ask for help without worrying about how busy they are.
  • Everyone is very busy, it can be difficult to find time for non-project related work such as training, career development, discussions etc.
  • The variable workload
  • High stress when projects are due
  • Sometimes, project commitments conflicts and all of a sudden there is a big workload. I also get stressed when some projects have a tight deadline and budget and I have to really push myself to try to deliver within budget.
