It’s an exciting time to join our organisation and we’re searching for our next generation of influential and inspiring leaders to develop with us!
We have roles in: Engineering (Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics), ICT, Finance, Business/Commerce and Environmental Science/Sustainability.
Our innovative graduate programme offers:
- An exciting and comprehensive 2-year rotational programme which will see you pushed out of your comfort zone and growing toward your full potential
- Competitive starting salary with regular reviews
- A guaranteed permanent position on successful completion of the programme
- Senior management mentoring and a buddy from within the business
- 5 weeks annual leave and a host of other great benefits and rewards
Upon starting the Graduate Programme, you'll receive a full induction (business familiarisation), which will include spending time across different KiwiRail depots and exposure to many of our business units.
Rotations
You’ll spend time in different areas, giving you solid exposure to our diverse organisation. The rotation phases will include structured learning components and work experience, consisting of a mix of both project and business as usual (BAU) work.
Training and development
Training and development will occur on a regular basis, both formally during development days and courses, and informally through on-the-job training that is tailored to your business unit. Development days are a great way to spend time with other graduates from around the country.
Networking opportunities
Network with current and past graduates across the business to develop social and professional connections. Join groups like the “Young Engineering Network” or “Under 30th Group” organised by our graduates.
Buddies & senior leaders
You will be supported throughout the graduate programme and assigned a buddy and a senior manager who will guide you along the way. Your buddy will be your go to person within your business unit, and you will have regular meetings with your manager to make sure your development plan is on track.
Graduate Programme Manager
Wanda is the go-to person who sits outside of your business unit. She will organise training, competency based learning, development days and schedule regular 1 on 1 meetings with you.
About the Programme:
- An assigned buddy to job shadow and go-to for any questions
- A realistic practical preview of employment opportunities within KiwiRail
- Combination of Health & Safety and Personal Development training
- An opportunity to up-skill by gaining practical on-the-job training
