Transition Program
Upon successful completion of the undergraduate program, you can choose to work with us one to two days per week while completing your final year of uni.
“The Transition Program was very flexible. Some weeks, I didn’t work due to exams and uni work, and other weeks, I worked one to two days per week, which continued my relationship with the company and allowed me to keep developing my skills.”
– Edwin Darly (2023 Undergraduate — Melbourne office)
Graduate Program
Following the undergraduate and transition programs, most of our candidates become full-time Level 1 Engineers.
As an undergraduate, you see many different parts of a project. As a full-time engineer, you experience a project from start to finish and gain a deeper understanding of the significance of your undergraduate work.
