Culture and Vibe

As a business of just over 100 people, no one in Frequency is just a number or a title and location.

We work in open-plan offices where there are no separate offices for partners or senior team members. We believe in the power of genuine, in-person collaboration. Our office-first culture is a cornerstone of how we work. Being physically present enables stronger relationships, supports accelerated learning, and fosters shared energy that drives teamwork and innovation. Our default is working together in the office—where conversations flow naturally, and we can tackle challenges collaboratively.

We set the bar high and are driven by a culture of excellence. We embrace high standards and high performance, with a shared commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes in everything we do. Our team members take pride in going above and beyond, striving for excellence individually and collectively. Our dedication to creating a supportive professional culture is also reflected in our forums, social club initiatives, and annual team retreat, all with the intention of bringing our teams together.

We are looking for motivated graduates who will bring energy and fresh perspectives to our project teams. Our project managers come from a variety of backgrounds, including :

• Bachelor of Building Sciences
