Proximity

Careers to
further your
empowerment.

Proximity roles are challenging, fulfilling and supportive. We’re immersed in an exciting, fast-paced environment where we lean into uncertainty to deliver innovative solutions.

Our culture thrives on taking chances, keeping an open mind and sharing insights. We’re often pushing beyond our comfort zones—it’s rewarding, and together, it’s fun.

Our team has the autonomy to excel both in the workplace and in our personal lives. We’re given the confidence to embrace our true selves, the strength to speak out for what’s right, and the freedom to contribute to our community.

We’re immensely proud of our people, and what they do for our clients. As industry leaders, we’ve achieved amazing feats together, solving complex problems with nationwide significance.

Together, the possibilities are endless.

We have an open and non-discriminatory approach to recruitment and are committed to assisting any Indigenous personnel or personnel with disabilities.

Diversity is embraced in our workforce and we support constructive differences in voice and opinion. We use this to generate fresh ideas and see things from multiple perspectives.

We use a diverse range of suppliers including Indigenous owned, minority owned, women owned, disability inclusive as well as small and micro businesses for printing, design, merchandise, cleaning and other services.

Together, the possibilities are endless
