PDG is open to considering well-qualified professionals with an interest in public policy and the work that we do. Typical consultants will have a postgraduate degree (generally at least a Masters) in a discipline of relevance to our work. Current staff have academic backgrounds in disciplines such as urban and regional planning, economics, business administration, engineering, public management, and environmental management.
