The Toowoomba office of one of the world’s leading engineering,
architectural and environmental consulting firms has recently
celebrated its 5 year anniversary.
GHD, the firm that employs more than 6,000
people worldwide, opened locally in March 2005 with just 3
employees. In 5 years, the office has grown to 23 staff, with
business focused on water, property & buildings,
transportation, energy & resources and the environment.
GHD contributed to the successful delivery of
major regional projects such as the MRH facility at Oakey, 15
schools for the ‘Building the Education Revolution’ program, the
Dalby Undercover Arena and the IGA Supermarket in Bridge Street.
Major infrastructure projects in the region include the Toowoomba
Regional Council Sewerage Strategy and new water reservoirs for
Roma and Oakey.
As part of a drive to foster local talent and
continue to ongoing growth in the city, GHD supports the University
of Southern Queensland graduate program exclusively, having
employed 7 graduates from the Toowoomba campus since opening.
Office Manager Andrew Scovell commented “Our
commitment to local development, our community and the provision of
world-class consulting services has ensured the continual growth of
our Toowoomba operations. In the past few years, our graduate
recruitment program has employed some of the region’s brightest
minds, ensuring the direct benefits of local education are felt at
a local level.”
