Cover letters mean a lot to us. This is a chance to let your personality shine through. We want to get to know you, more than just where you’ve worked and what you know.

You can choose the written option or let your authentic self shine through with a video cover letter. It’s up to you!

Our team will contact all applicants via email or phone for an initial screening conversation. This is a chance to learn more about your motivations for applying and get to know you a little better.

A values-led individual who is
Escient encourages life and academic diversity. We value an individual’s aptitude for learning and growth above a defined criterion. We don’t ask for Grade Point Average, but we do require applicants to have completed their studies and be able to commence full-time employment.
We take applications from Australian and international students holding graduate visas. Our only requirements are that you can stay and work in Australia and meet the English language requirements set out by the Department of Home Affairs.
Cover letters mean a lot to us—it’s a chance to let your personality shine through. Our values mean a lot to us, and we want to know what matters to you. We want to get to know the real you, more than just where you’ve worked and what you know. Tell us who you are and what makes you tick.
Absolutely! If you graduated in the last two years with a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or even a Ph.D. degree, you can apply for our graduate program. If it has been a few more years or you already have significant industry experience, it may be worth chatting with us to see if applying for a Consultant-level role is more appropriate.
After successfully completing our 12-month graduate program, our graduates are promoted to Consultant. We celebrate this milestone across the whole organisation; it’s kind of a big deal. After becoming a consultant, there will be an ongoing focus on your individual development and performance, which is supplemented by our Consultant Development Pathways to guide your future development through all consulting levels and technical competencies.
