Our Development Employee Program is going places

Return to Our Stories

Working with us has never been more rewarding with a variety of projects and roles available in varying locations throughout Western Australia. We have more than 100 employees in a range of programs built around unique development pathways.

We have been promoting new opportunities by hosting creative events and strengthening partnerships with communities and educational institutions across the state. We have a strong focus on diversity, we have been connecting with more female high school students to inspire them into science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects and engaging with local Aboriginal students.

We continue to form a close bond with local Aboriginal students through Kulbardi Aboriginal Centre at Murdoch University and the Koolarbi Centre for Aboriginal Students at North Metro TAFE, strengthening our relationships to work together in the future.

We are the main sponsor of Curtin University's Girls in Engineering Tomorrow Outreach program, which targets 45 senior female school students across metropolitan schools and offers exposure to engineering activities, mentoring, and tutoring while instilling the confidence to move forward into a career in STEM. Many of our female engineers have volunteered their time to participate in networking sessions sharing their personal story and connecting with the girls. We hosted an in-house 'Main Roads Experience' showcasing our Network Operations Centre and visiting road construction sites to connect students with current female employees. Building from this, we have been invited to high school and university campus events to present to student cohorts; this helps drive our commitment to diversity through our development pathways.

Our Mid-West and Wheatbelt regions had a lot of fun participating in the annual Lego League competition, helping support over 50 teams of local regional primary and high school kids by judging the robotic design and functionality teams.

In addition, our long-standing Graduate Program is a structured rotational program combining hands on professional development supported by a diverse mix of responsibility and experiential opportunities. Each graduate is given the technical and personal mentorship to grow and work at their best. To find out more about the pathways that are available visit our website.
