Common questions

You won’t be left to figure it out alone. From day one, you’ll have practical support to help you move from uni to real world project work with confidence. We offer:


  • Structured onboarding with your manager and a team buddy to show you the ropes.
  • A mentor to help you build your skills
  • Real project experience with clear guidance, regular check ins and feedback.
  • Trusted flexibility and wellbeing support, including space for learning and opportunities to give back through community volunteering.
  • A network of peers you get to connect with regularly to help you transition and share experiences.

Career progression beyond the grad programme is flexible and transparent, shaped around your strengths and interests. You’ll build technical depth on real projects, then choose to deepen as a specialist or broaden into project management and leadership—with clear goals set alongside your manager, regular feedback, and mentoring.


What this looks like in practice:


  • Choice of pathways depending on where you’d like to grow
  • Coaching and mentoring to help you continue to develop your skills
  • Mobility and variety. Many of our grads accept opportunities across different disciplines, offices and regions (NZ and the Pacific).


You’ll have visibility of what “good” looks like at each stage, and the support to get there at a pace that fits you.

Beca is a values led, people first place where you’re encouraged to learn, try things, and be supported by teams who care—grounded in an ownership mindset and a shared purpose to make everyday better. As a grad, you’ll work on real projects with multidisciplinary teams, build trusted client connections, and have flexibility and wellbeing support so your career can grow without losing balance.

Beca supports flexible working: you’ll agree the how, when and where with your team and leader, balancing project needs with life commitments. If you have specific flexibility needs, let us know at any stage—we’ll work with you to make a plan that fits.


We look after wellbeing with supportive teams, an inclusive culture, and practical resources and initiatives for mental, physical and social wellbeing—including access to confidential support when you need it. As a grad, you’ll have mentoring, learning time and community opportunities so you can grow your career without losing balance. We also offer wellbeing leave, additional to annual leave, so you can spend time doing what matters most to you.
