Early careers

Our interns consistently tell us it’s the culture that sets us apart.

We’re a values-led, multidisciplinary organisation driven by optimism, genuine care, and high performance. All united by a shared purpose: to shape cities and communities for a better future. Our collaborative, authentic and inclusive culture brings together passionate people who thrive on creating meaningful impact.

Diversity and inclusion are central to who we are. We believe diverse teams drive innovation, creativity and better outcomes for our people, our clients, and the communities we serve.

As an intern, you’ll gain more than just experience. You’ll be part of a supportive environment that offers:

• Hands-on mentorship from experienced professionals
• Opportunities to contribute to real projects from day one
• A chance to build practical skills and a strong professional network
• A workplace designed for collaboration and connection, with vibrant social activities and modern, welcoming offices.

Our flexible internship model supports you to succeed professionally while balancing your academic commitments.

This program has been a launchpad for many Urbis leaders, some even rising to Director-level positions. As an intern, you’ll be involved in real, multidisciplinary projects, collaborating with experts with diverse experiences and backgrounds. Following your internship, you’ll graduate with a distinct advantage – armed with enviable industry experience and lifelong connections.

We’re looking for interns who’ll bring a fresh perspective to Urbis, along with curiosity, creativity and a genuine passion for making a positive impact. Beyond your studies, we want to understand what drives you – your ideas, ambitions – and how you’ll contribute to the unique culture of our multidisciplinary team.

While academic progress and relevant coursework are important, we recognise that qualities like problem-solving, effective communication and teamwork matter just as much. If you’re eager to grow, learn and help shape cities and communities, we’d love to hear from you.

1. Get to know Urbis
   Explore who we are and what we do. This is where you’ll discover how your interests and studies align with our people, projects and capabilities.

2. Apply online

3. Complete an online assessment & video interview
   Shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete an online psychometric assessment and a video interview. No preparation needed for the assessment. It’s not a test, simply a tool we use to understand your strengths and working style.
