2022 Electrical Automation and Control Engineer Graduate null

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 an Operations Manager or technical expert - in the future you could be leading teams, improving plant reliability or being the one who solves some of our most complex and challenging problems. As a Graduate Engineer, you will complete two x 12-month rotations, spending your time across our two major integrated cement plants and gain a wealth of knowledge and experience of our operations. You will be given day-to-day responsibilities, critical project work (even managing your own!) and both structured and on-the-job learning. There may also be the opportunity to complete short projects that take you to our other sites to broaden your experience.

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" and therefore you'll be exposed to the full cycle of our operations. 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 complement your technical knowledge.

In all corners of our business, automation and control are pivotal in ensuring our systems are reliably operating, programmed and tuned for safe and productive operations.

What our Engineering Grads are saying

"I expected the majority of my work was to complete tasks assigned under my supervisor. The reality is I soon realised I had more control over my work experiences and had a larger responsibility in my projects, and at times as the project manager."

"Due to the wide range of work, you learn so much in a short amount of time all with the practical backdrop of on-site engineering supported by a range of experienced people. "
