Student careers

So there’s no single answer to the question – “What makes a PwC person?” But if you’re someone with leadership skills or ability, who’s curious, fascinated by solving challenging problems and passionate about making a real difference in society, then there’s a place for you at PwC.

It’s not all about numbers

The diversity we bring to solving our client’s problems is central to what makes us the leading professional advisers in New Zealand.

We’re a team of business advisers, working alongside our clients to build long-lasting relationships that create value. We’re looking for motivated, energetic problem solvers who can help us be the best at what we do and also help our clients to be successful.

And it’s not just about academic achievement. You might not have gained the tertiary results you had hoped for but have shown you have the intellectual ability, drive and resilience to excel in our business in other ways. We’re also looking for diversity in our people and for people that stand out from the crowd – and that means great experiences and achievements both at university and in the outside world.
