What are the best and worst things about your job?
The content of the work I get to do, I work on high profile and extremely interesting projects which is fantastic for my first job. I get to get stuck in first hand and have even taken the lead on some smaller projects. The company encourages the training to be 90% on the job and 10% courses etc. which I believe works very well. I am learning a lot and I am getting involved with a lot more than expected this early on in my career. I have much more responsibility than I would in the same role with other companies. The other great thing about my job is the people I get to work with and I have met through the job. I have had unbelievable opportunities such as going for lunch with the CEO and attending digital workshops to help the company adapt for the future.

What are the best and worst things about your job?
I'm a graduate in control of a full project acting as the PM for a client which is amazing. The responsibility you are offered is second to none, and the team is so supportive. My favourite part of the work is negotiating with stakeholders and coming to agreement on issues, it's the reason I got into the job, and there is enough depth of knowledge to get stuck in and learn. I am always learning, there is very few quiet days where I can't be picking up some useful knowledge about the industry or talking with colleagues and learning how they are approaching their own issues.

Application Advice:
Strong CV adapted to the role, focus skills on what the job role requires and tailor your CV this way. The application was an online CV and cover letter upload. In the cover letter, I would advise to detail any extra work experience or a particular skill that you possess that makes you stand out. Don't save it for the interview, make your CV stand out from the others and make them remember you.
Interview Advice:
The video interview was followed by the offer of an assessment day with an interview. The video interview was tough with 7 questions, 1 min to prepare and 30 seconds to answer. Make sure you know exactly why you are applying for this job and this company, what attracted you to it and what you could bring to the role. Learn the company 'pillars' (their values) and have examples of when you have demonstrated those values either in university/school/extracurricular activities. Questions included: Why do you want to work for Arcadis, Why do you want this job, What could you bring to the role, Tell me about a time you have demonstrated Integrity and what does Sustainability mean to you. For the Assessment day, in-tray exercise followed by a group exercise, the team/staff made it all very simple and made everyone feel comfortable and welcome, I wasn't nervous after I was welcomed in. My interview was long but casual in a sense. It was not too formal, some questions provided by HR and some my new boss has asked themselves. Was made to feel at ease and was able to be myself comfortably. They are looking more at whether or not you will fit into their team than your accomplishments so don't be afraid to be yourself and talk about your passions and hobbies. Remember that if you don't get the job, its not the right role for you and don't be disheartened.

Your CV needs to be minimalistic, bullet points rather than paragraphs etc.
Interview Advice:
Manners get you a long way for one.
Confidence is key, however, no one likes a cocky applicant!
Asked questions from a set list of interview questions, mostly competency questions however they are impressed with company knowledge and commercial awareness.
Knowledge of the company really shows interest in working for them, however, they want more than reciting the website, worth doing a bit of digging to find out some clients or work they've been involved in and importantly the company values. What is important to them?

Graduate Cost Consultant, Rail at ArcadisRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Be honest, If you want to work in a specific role and have aptitude regardless of what degree you have, get involved and speak to people. Arcadis have quality people and not everyone has come into the roles through traditional routes. Especially in Project management, its more about your composure as a person and how you approach situations which can be a really good base line to build on, and Arcadis will help you build your knowledge base.
Interview Advice:
There are several stages of the assessment, a video interview which everyone is nervous over as it can be a little awkward but is well structured to get a good idea of the people applying. There was an assessment day with different activities to assess how we approached situations with an interview at the end. The interview was conducted by a Senior Project Manager, and the first 5 minutes were your standard interview questions, Why do you want to do this, what experience do you have etc, but the remainder was a free flowing conversation that took all pressure away. If you can get into a room with a complete stranger and put yourself at ease with the interviewer and have a good conversation you will have no problems. All the talk was relevant to the work and I gained knowledge and was able to begin building a network from the day. Even if I hadn't been successful it was a very valuable experience.

Service Delivery Manager, Facilities Management Consultancy at ArcadisRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Ensure that your CV is clear and concise with an interesting flair. A hiring engineer will have minimal time to review graduate CV's so keeping it simple (format) with memorable aspects may help you standout amongst the crowd.
The CV is an opportunity to present yourself in the best possible way - be sure to take advantage of this.
Interview Advice:
Research topics that are applicable to the role of application, this may be useful to reference in interviews and may help build confidence on the subject matter. For example; I understood that the role involved mechanical engineering in the water treatment, so I revised theory gained from university (pump curve analysis) along with some basic process theory (water treatment process). This background knowledge may be helpful, but keep in mind the best trait to convey during an interview is your eagerness to learn more - showing a hiring engineer that you want to apply yourself.

Prior to your application, make sure you research the company very well- the Arcadis website is a great place to start. Tailor your CV to skills that you believe will be invaluable to the role you are applying for.

Interview Advice:
In preparation for the assessment centre, research projects that Arcadis have worked on and be aware of the company's core values and what a built asset consultancy is. The group exercises at the assessment centre are also based on showing that you can collaborate and work well in a team; it's not about who can be the most dominant and who's voice is heard the most. Another tip to help you stand out amongst your peers is to do some wider reading, such as reading current articles on building and construction news to show that you are passionate about the industry. Don't forget to come prepared to your interview with a few questions to ask your interviewer, as this also shows that are you interested in the role and company.

make sure you put all your best qualities as a person, achievements and how you could benefit this company.
Interview Advice:
be yourself, don't try and act up and show off- sometimes this comes across as cocky and arrogant. Don't be scared to ask questions about job roles, future opportunities & your potential career path.
Graduate Cost consulatant, Property at ArcadisRead the full review »
Application Advice:
It is a good place to start, learn from very great professionals.
I would suggest applying and first understanding the company view of the built environment, objectives, clients...
Once you get into the company I would suggest to ask for a mentor and have regular meetings with line manager in order to understand what are the milestones, expectations and requirements for a graduate.
Interview Advice:
The interview for graduates consists on an assessment day where they ask to demonstrate your potential. There are a lot of grads trying to get a position so I would suggest prepare the different fields covered but also not being nervous.
Fields covered are: personal presentation with Q&A, team case study, application of team outcomes to write an individual report and an interview one to one.
