First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Sinclair Knight Merz.
Intern
I was contacted through my university's scholarship department, and they set up an interview for me. It was a panel with 4 people from SKM, a mix of HR and engineering folks from the team I'd be interning with. They were nice, which made it easy to chat and answer their questions. I got the feeling they really value my extracurriculars, previous work, and grades.
- What kind of work experience are you looking to get here?
- What departments would you be interested in working in?
- Would you be open to challenges in any department?
Senior Software Engineer
A recruiter put me forward to the company without me seeing an advertised role, they just reached out to see if they needed someone with my skills. I got brought in pretty fast (in a few days) and talked with the senior engineer who would be my tech lead, and the team leader. The interview was quite chill and just seemed to be verifying my CV details. I had another interview the following week with the section manager, which was also just a simple meet and greet. I had offers from two other companies around that time, but I wasn't sure about them. When I told SKM about this (that I needed to reply to them soon), they moved quickly to give me a competitive offer. I wasn't trying to start a bidding war, the salary was comparable, but I took SKM's offer because I felt their culture was the best fit for me.
- The interviewers seemed to already be convinced of my qualifications, so I didn't really face any difficult questions.
- The hardest part for me was figuring out something valuable to ask, since I know it's really important in an interview to show interest in the company and that you've done your homework.
Air Quality Specialist
After you submitted your cv and covering letter, HR would contact you directly by mail to arrange for a personal interview. The face-to-face interview has two interviewers. The interview is divided into two parts: general questions and a test paper.
- Can you explain the content of some modules from your undergraduate studies?
- What kind of gases are emitted in landfill sites?
Project Engineer
The interview process involved a recruiter call, a phone screen, and a technical screen. The technical screen is a behavioural interview where you'll be asked to provide a specific example to answer a question.
- Can you provide an example of a time you dealt with workplace conflict?
