Application
I interviewed at Jacobs
Interview
The application process is typical with CV and Cover letter with some online application questions. The assessment centre comprised of a team exercise, where you are provided with a written brief and need to decide which action to take, giving a short group presentation. There was also a one on one interview. Throughout the day there were opportunities to speak to graduates about their working life and an office tour during the lunch break.
Interviewed by two people, asking motivational and competency and situational based questions. A lot of the questions were follow up questions from the answers I were giving, and the situational questions were not too hard and they help you if you get stuck.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Jacobs (Melbourne) in Jun 2025
Interview
Typical behavioural questions, heard back a couple weeks later. Surprisingly no online assessments which is nice. Does depend on team though. Interview was with a section lead and another civil engineer.
It was a very simple process of adding cv, then waiting for an option to do an online interview. You will be asked 3 questions, one about why you want to work there, another on how you stay motivated and lastly something you are proud of.
