Application Process & Interviews at Fulton Hogan

Phone interview, in-person interview, references.

Very comprehensive.

Online then face to face.

Interview was relatively casual and felt easy to speak with the manager.

Very clear and easy to deal with despite of being my second formal interview.

The interview process was standard.

The interview process included submitting an application with a cover letter and resume. Then once accepted, I had to complete psychometric training (I think) and a digital interview. This digital interview was done in a way so that a question would appear on the screen and then I would have time to prepare for it, and then answer it. This answer was recorded. Finally I had to do the face to face interview.

I applied, received an email saying I was shortlisted, received a call with further information about the job, had a formal interview over teams, offered the job.

The interview process was the most relaxed interview I undertook in my search for a job, I was made to feel welcome and at ease, as well as being asked questions that I felt comfortable answering and allowed me to show myself off.

The interview process was very simple and to the point. Throughout the interview, FH HR has made clear what they are looking for and what they can provide and asked me what I expect from them.

1st interview with regional manager and HR representatives 2nd interview with project manager and a site visit.

I was contacted via email and mobile. I had my interview where the people at my company allowed me to feel very comfortable in order to preform my best.

After initial application, I underwent a phone screening which was followed by an invitation to an 45 minute online interview with my current manager (Project Manager), Senior People and Capability Advisor and HR representative. Within 11 days, I was accepted and offered a place in the FH's 2023 Graduate Intake. Following this, the onboarding process included providing important documents for identification/ verification and a medical which I scheduled for the very next day after receiving the offer letter.

Interview process was very straight forward and easy to go through.

What interests you about working for Fulton Hogan? Where do you see your career in the next 5 years?

Mostly personal / 'getting to know you' type questions. Not a lot of work or professional based queries.

Prior experience, qualifications

Be honest with questions as it is mostly about individual values.

Be prepared to work remote, and accept challenges.

understand that the nature of the construction industry is very demanding, you need effort and commitment and an inclination to sacrifice weekends and after work hours

Make sure you complete as many different aspects as possible.

Learn about the company, who some key people that run the company and the history of the company. Learn about the services provided and the products and industries they work in.

Be themselves. No pretend to be anyone else. Be transparent. Be simple.

Don't be too nervous and be confident.

Prepare a few questions to ask the interviewers after they have finished with their questions.

To best prepare I would recommend preparing yourself to be asked situational questions about leadership, struggle, commitment etc. I would also say to learn and know the values of the company and be able to weave them into your responses. Doing research on the company you are applying for is important, know the projects happening, what works the company is involved in and upcoming projects aswell. This proves that you are interested in where the company is going.

Study the company (values, history) and it's competitors/the industry before going into the interview. Be knowledgeable about the industry and passionate.

Consider what you have achieved, what you'd like people to know about you, and what are you proud of.

Don't over prepare. Be confident, do a little research about the company you are applying for and please smile during the interview.

Ask more questions during the interview to the interviewer about what they can expect in the position they are applying for.

I would advise candidates to be themselves and ensure they are well educated on what the company stands for. As well as knowing what they want and going after it, being enthusiastic and passionate about your role.

They should research about the company they are applying for. Learn the REAL values and understand that FH is predominately a construction company requiring passion in wanting to be on site. Describe their reason for why you are choosing engineering/ Fulton Hogan to see if it truly aligns with FH values/ company culture.

Stay relaxed, nothing to prepare, keep your mind free and be confident. Getting a little nervous is pretty common before the interview but their process makes it easier once you are in.

Make sure you ask lots of questions in the interview to get a good sense of what working in construction would be like. I would also suggest that if you have an interest in a particular area you communicate that so they can accommodate for your interests when placing you on a project.

Research the company, know the role.
