Whitehaven Coal is the dominant player in Australia’s only emerging high-quality coal basin. With a culture based on our values of Safety, Teamwork, Respect, Integrity, Value and Excellence, our reputation for excellence in project delivery and safe, efficient and environmentally responsible operations continues to grow.
Our Graduate Program is a two-year development program intended to grow and develop our future leaders. You’ll gain practical skills and training from both on-the-job learning experiences and formal development sessions. To ensure a breadth of experience, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to the success of a range of our sites and offices through the rotation program.
The program is based on rotations to give you the best understanding of our business possible. These rotations are residentially based in the Gunnedah and Narrabri regions, except for some functional rotations, which are based in our Sydney and Newcastle offices. We assist by covering relocation costs and offering camp accommodation for your first four months. At the end of the program, you will be offered a permanent role.
Mentoring is a strong focus of the program. Within your first weeks with us, you will be paired with one of our senior leaders, who will provide you with coaching and guidance as you move through your rotations and into your post-program role.
