Mechanical Engineer Graduate null

Overview

We recognise the value graduates add to our business. So, we designed a program that gives you meaningful work, access to experienced mentors and the opportunity to learn and grow. We are an action-oriented company where not only will you be developed but your ideas and suggestions are also always welcome!

We are looking to ultimately develop you into a senior HR partner, working closely with our executives and leaders to add value to their people strategy, solutions and advice. As our HR Officer,  you will complete four rotations over two years, spending your time in Performance & Reward, Talent & Capability, and Generalist HR. You will be given day-to-day responsibilities, critical project work and both structured and on-the-job learning. At least one rotation will take you out of the head office and to one of our sites to broaden your experience and really understand our operations. 

We will connect you with mentors and provide opportunities to network with other graduates. As a future leader of our business, it is important to us that you do “real work”. Therefore you’ll be exposed to the full breadth of HR to help you work out where your career goals may be. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet with, engage and present to senior leaders in our business to help develop those important soft skills to compliment the business and HR knowledge you have built.
