Application Process & Interviews at CIMIC Group

One video interview where I had to record responses to a list of questions. One in person interview with my manager and an HR representative.

Interview and selection process was very lengthy

I was hired as an undergraduate engineer, interview process was brief but effective.

Wasn't hired through normal grad process but seemed to be pretty straight forward. Interviewed over the phone, then twice in person. Then was offered the role over the phone.

Interview process was very streamlined

Pre recorded, video conference, phone call,

At my time of being hired, COVID had made everything online. I had to complete video interviews where I would record my answers, online assessments of skills, as well as a final video call interview with one of the managers at UGL and a HR member.

Application online with supporting documents - prerecorded interview question responses - video interview including a short technical presentation - Follow up with an offer

Online interview followed by in person interview

Simple one-on-one interview with your hiring manager, no assessment was required, however an online interview and academic transcript was required.

The interview process took time but was relatively straight forward. None of the assessments were too stressful.

the assessment relate to my educational background so all you need to do is focus to get good answer and it was not hard. The interview is based on your answer from your assessment, so make sure you do it by yourself.

The interview is friendly, just like causal talk.

We have a written test, group discussion and individual interview. The three tests are take place in a continuous basis.

I was interviewed by the project manager of the two projects that I will be working on, the data center project director, and the HR manager. The interview process was carried out after the technical assessment process was carried out. During the interview I was asked to explain my answer from the technical assessment that I had done, then I was asked questions related to the answer and case study from the technical assessment.

Interview and hiring process was great, well communicated

I did a few online assessments and then was invited to a assessment day where I did some group activities and then had an interview. The whole day was great and the interview went very well

Was fast, efficient and personal.

The application process consisted of a CPB portal to upload all information followed by a formal face to face interview.

online assessment and a face to face interview, including a group activity and a prepared presentation. my manager interviewed me, so I knew going in to work who I would be working with. I was also told prior to my start date who my manager would be.

What did I study in my degree? What did I find challenging and how did I overcome that? What do I think my strengths are and where/when have I demonstrated them? What kinds of work experiences have I previously had?

A good mix of technical and non technical questions

Leadership skills, experience, vision for future of engineering

I was given prompts or scenarios where I would have to recount a time where something similar happened to me. They wanted to hear about how I reacted, how I solved problems, etc. I also needed to give a small presentation with a topic I was given two days earlier. I needed to talk about this topic for 5 minutes and answer the question provided.

How to problem solve, how I would handle FIFO. Previous examples of problem solving. Previous roles.

Typical interview questions (why work here? Strengths, weaknesses, etc.) as well as being required to present on an industry based topic of my preference and completed some group tasks.

the question related to my answer about the assessment and some problem solving

About the environmental issue in the field of construction

Why I wanted to work in construction industry? As a woman, do you think you will get used to work in such extreme environment ,as it is going to be super hot and uncomfortable.

1. What is the process that must be followed to deliver material needs in remote areas? 2. How is the work culture in the company? 3. What is the company's scope of work on the Tangguh Expansion Project?

I don't remember too much. Mostly questions about my interests, my ability to work in a team.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Do you have any examples where you prioritized health & safety? Why did you apply for UGL?

- why do you want to work in construction? - health and safety questions - there is a subcontractor discharging dirty water into a creek. the subcontractor is 20 years your senior, what do you do?

What were my hobbies, what was my previous experience

Questions ranged from my work experience, behavioral questions and some personal question.

Interest in construction How well I understood the role Questions about where I see myself in the future

- Tell me about yourself - Why Engineering? - What do you see yourself in 5 years?

Why are you passionate about engineering Describe a safety moment at the construction site What is a SWMS Describe a time you had to deal with conflict in a team environment, how did you deal with it

Be prepared for a conversation rather than a formal interview. Be curious about the company and ask questions during the interview.

Understand what the different business units work on and research specific projects

Show your enthusiasm to learn and be a part of the company, particularly as a grad.

Understand the market in which UGL operates and the specific division you may be apart of

Know what you know , where you want to go and what you want to know

Think about some past experiences that showcase your commitment to getting the job done, how you fixed an issue, etc. This can range from university projects or part time jobs. They want to hear about how you work in a team environment.

Don't just say what you think they want to hear. Be yourself and be honest in your answers, people responding to questions like they've just read a "LinkedIn How To" is a pretty dead set give away you're not being honest to them or yourself.

Show you can work well with others in a collaborative space and have strong communication skills. Prepare by thinking of real life experiences and challenges you've encountered and how you have dealt with them.

Make sure you know which department you are applying for as there is a chance that you may not be able to rotate out of the department and the line of work.

Get to know the industry and the company. Don't feel like the purpose of the interview is to show how great you are (that is part of it) but you also need to show that you can work with others, listen and understand things as well as appearing approachable.

know about your answer very well and what your goal is.

Just review what you learn from the university and having a polite manner to the interviewers.

Be yourself and do your research.

Raise questions actively and show your passion for the position. It is very important to let them know they you could work as a long term employee.

Learn everything related to engineering, the implementation process, planning and construction management which will be very useful if we enter a contracting company

Obtaining a industry recognized undergraduate role, even if it means extending university by a year greatly increases ones chances of joining

This company really struggles at advertising opportunities, I have been trying to get us involved in graduate dinners and reach outs so people apply to us instead of us asking them to apply.

Prepare standard answers for questions before the day, get some stories in your head ready. Make sure to use great communication & teamwork in the assessment day activities

Know about the company.

Be honest - no-one expects you to know technical knowledge about the inner workings of rail or road systems, but a basic understanding will help. "Innovation" isn't always a technical innovation - it can be a system that you have improved the efficiency of or a new method for approaching problems that you championed.
