    Tasks in this program

    Intro & Scenario
    Meet your team members and learn about your project goals.
    Your role
    • You are working as a graduate consulting engineer at GHD.
    • You are working directly with your manager for a client within the transportation industry on an options analysis for a rail project.
    • Your manager is tied up with other projects at the moment, so they are relying on you to produce the options analysis quickly for their review before sending it off to the client. 
    • You really want to impress your manager and show them how much you have learned about the design process during your time at GHD, and this opportunity will allow you to do exactly that!
    Your goal
    • The client has come to GHD with different design options for a particular rail line. Your job is to compare these options and consider a variety of factors to recommend which one will be best for the client to move forward with. 
    • This will require you to consider important design and construction factors such as cost, construction timelines, design outcomes and stakeholder and environmental impacts. 
    • Your goal is to make the comparison process you used clear to the client and wrap everything up together in a short memo highlighting key findings and takeaways, along with GHD's final recommendation.
