What believers are saying

  • GHD won 2026 recognition for hydrogen blending, dam removal, smart roundabouts, and Indigenous projects.
  • Headcount reached about 17,197 in March 2026, and 2026 job postings rose 59.7 percent.
  • Queensland's ECRi Hub partnership keeps GHD embedded with government-funded innovation and regional commercialization pipelines.

What critics are saying

  • GHD UK flagged 2025 cuts near 10 percent, hitting environment, contamination, geotechnical, and waste teams.
  • Integration risk is immediate after Bowman Engineering's May 2026 acquisition; client churn can follow overlapping cultures.
