Graduate program
We offer a two-year structured graduate program to provide passionate graduates with exposure to a site operational role, technical placement and a business functional role aimed at encouraging ‘whole of business’ thinking.
Our graduate program is open to students in their final year of university or who have recently completed a relevant degree and offers opportunities in a broad range of disciplines across both mining and green energy and are Perth and fly-in fly-out based.
Graduates receive ongoing training and development, mentoring by our leaders and access to a strong network so they can share experiences, learn from each other and develop connections that will last their entire career.
Vacation program
Our Vacation program offers tertiary students the opportunity to work at one of our operations in a hands-on environment. As part of the program, students are given a project and are paired with a Fortescue team member who provides mentoring and supervision.
The program runs for twelve weeks from December to February and includes placements in both Perth and site-based on a fly-in fly-out roster to expose students to our operations.
Apprenticeship and Traineeship programs
Our industry leading Apprenticeship and Traineeship programs are part of our commitment to offer diverse and rewarding careers.
We provide apprentices and trainees the opportunity to grow their skills and knowledge over a 12-month to 4-year, structured training period. The programs include on the job training and a range of classroom TAFE and offsite development, which leads to a nationally recognised trade qualification.
These programs cover a range of trades including electricians, heavy vehicle mechanics, fixed plant mechanics, fabricators and light vehicle mechanics. Our apprentices are rotated around our sites to build connections and maximise their learning opportunities.
