Our grads are anything but ordinary. They are community-builders, change-makers, and record-breakers. But, most importantly, they are themselves. At Lendlease, we celebrate individuality - it’s what makes us unique. From living breathing workplaces, to flexible hours that fit around your life, we’re making room for you to be you. Whatever way you choose.
