Well structured and clearly communicated

Straightforward but very well structured. I enjoyed mine interview.

Phoned me up to discuss my interests when I was studying and asked if I am still interested in the role.

I was a scholarship hire so I didn't go through the hiring process, and I can't really comment.

Was good, didn't really have to do much.

It was a group introduction with an individual interview. The hiring process was quick. The assessment was a general problem solving task of building a tower with paper, tape, sticks etc.

I think the process is good, but the comms to the other teams to organise PPE, vehicles, laptops, inductions etc. could be more efficient. It is common for someone to start and there be nothing prepared for them to be able to start work when they arrive.

I applied for the job and got a call from HR team for an interview within 2 weeks. got interviewed by 2 managers

The interview basically describe the role that I was interviewed for, going through contract and reviewing my CV.

Good interview process and HR communicate well, regularly communicating through phone and email. Interview process involved one-way video, graduate assessment centre (speed interviews, group project and presentation) and face-to-face interview with the hiring managers.

I applied online for the graduate programme, I then got a face to face interview with the regional manager. Eventually I heard back via email that I got into the programme.

Three interviews, was nice as it was slightly different to normal interviews.

Qualification - Wage - Experience

Give me an example of when... - Why join the company? - What do you do in your spare time?

Who am I and what do I do outside of work, how do I unwind, various technical knowledge

My interview was held 6month before the actual work day so I asked what should we prepare before we dig in.

They asked me what sort of engineering I have done before and what other stuff I would like to do, what my level of competency was, how long I was planning on being in Queenstown for,

Tell me about your self

Question around: - My university studies - Outside of university activities - Passions - A bit of accounting questions - to test my knowledge - About the company - why Fulton Hogan? - Questions taken from the info relayed on my CV

Many behavioural questions.

What did I know about the company What I was doing in the summer break Which is my preferred region this was a while ago and for the acceptance of a scholarship which also came with the job. So this was not an ordinary recruitment procedure.

Do not recall. Think we just talked about hunting for 15 minutes.

The difference between contracting, major projects, maintenance, supply chain departments etc. Reach out to seniors who has worked in FH.
