TPG advises on delivering the critical roads, rail and bridges that connect us, the spaces and buildings where our vibrant communities live, and the essential public facilities we rely on. Our highly skilled team of 180 right across New Zealand bring unique knowledge in a local context and a trusted, independent point of view. 

TPG is at the forefront of embracing change, driving progress, and helping to shape our communities of tomorrow. We are building a stronger New Zealand, together.

We pride ourselves on providing a positive culture and stimulating work environment for our people. Our values form the foundation of our culture and influence our approach to our clients and to each other. We encourage a culture where all team members can contribute and reach their potential.

Recruitment Process

We understand this might be your first formal job application, so we promise to provide a supportive process and ensure you have a positive experience throughout the application process.

As well as the process below, check out our Prosple “advice” section on how to make your application really stand out to us. We also have a grad FAQ page on our website.

Apply online - Our programme opens in late May and is open for around three weeks. You can apply online through the job opportunities on our profile, which will take you to our application portal. You will need a current CV, a cover letter, and a copy of your most recent academic transcript. Include them all!

Video meet and greet – We make a point of reviewing all applications and invite shortlisted applicants to submit a short video. We will ask you a few questions to learn more about you and your interest in TPG's graduate programme.

Interview - This takes place over a full day with other graduate applicants, including a formal interview, a group project, and a short written assessment. The best part is, we bring you to our Wellington office for the day (the travel is on us) so you get to meet some of the team and get a good feel for TPG! We want you to feel prepared and confident through the process, so we will provide you with guidance for interview day.

Coffee catch-up – We invite all potential new employees to meet with a member of the team for an informal chat. It is a good opportunity to meet one of the team outside the formal interview process.

Job offer – In August we will get in touch to confirm if we will be making you an offer. If you are offered a role with TPG, we will do a reference and background check before you will receive a formal offer. No worries if you're references aren't from within the industry. Any job, including casual or hospitality work, are fine.

Welcome to the team – You made it! We look forward to you joining TPG. Our graduates usually start in mid-late January. There may be some flexibility with start dates which we will discuss with you through the offer process.
