Project Management Graduate Programme (Nov 2024)

We’re shaping an awesome city – join our two year graduate programme, starting in February 2025

We are looking for recent graduates or students in their final year of study who are passionate, enthusiastic, and driven – ready to learn and thrive.  We offer the opportunity to learn from the best, while developing your skills and experience when you are appointed a permanent role here at Hamilton City Council. 

During your first month you will participate in a robust orientation programme that will set you up to succeed.  You will be set up with a buddy and a non-technical mentor to ensure you are well supported during the two-year programme, with regular sessions with our Organisational Development team to help you settle into life here at council and to give you the opportunity to stay connected with your fellow graduates from other areas of Council.

You will have relevant tertiary qualifications, and your desire to learn will set you apart from the crowd.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Project Management graduate to join us and focus on our Capital Projects in the city, as part of our 2025 intake
