Whether you need accreditation from a regulatory or compliance perspective, or for the fact that it is a preferred practice within your industry, there are several external accreditation programs available to our people.

GHD technical conferences

These are in-person learning events that provide opportunity for GHD people to collaborate with and learn from their global colleagues. These invaluable events are a key differentiator for GHD.

The December 2022 event showcased innovation – empowering delegates to explore how we might build on our technical edge. Innovative projects, approaches and collaborations holding potential for high-impact future benefits and applications across GHD were shared through presentations and workshops to propel thinking.

Delegates of all career stages were selected to attend – from Young Professionals to Technical Directors.

Our people are key to unlocking new solutions, working with clients on their greatest challenges and uncovering the needs of our communities. And we’re thrilled to be here with some of them at Huntington Beach at our first face to face Technical Conference since early 2020. We’re learning from our most innovative thinkers, exploring new approaches to providing the most valuable and sustainable solutions to our clients. I presented on net-zero pathways and decarbonisation strategies. Environmental and data justice Critical infrastructure risk mitigation. GIS solutions and optimising corridors specifically in the context of speed management. Common data environments and how they can really help us execute projects more efficiently. Young professionals´ perspectives on collaboration tools. We’re working with the future in mind, supporting our industries in pushing the limits of what’s possible. Technical excellence is what we do. Our clients and communities are why we do it. And it’s our technical people’s curiosity that makes it happen.

GHD's technical communities of practice are amazing and enable me to grow professionally through technical learning and resource sharing across the globe.  Alongside GHD's Business School, I have the opportunity to grow as a leader within GHD and across the broader water industry."

Real stories from GHD

Rosie Makoskie, GHD Environmental Scientist

"During my first year at GHD, I was given the opportunity to be a project manager on small projects to learn how to become a successful project manager on bigger projects. I was then promoted as an environmental project manager working on larger portfolios in the Contamination and Remediation group. By completing my goal of becoming a project manager, I have started to think about what my next career goal will be in the environmental industry."
