Whitehaven Coal is the dominant player in Australia's only emerging high-quality coal basin. With a culture based on our STRIVE values, our reputation for excellence in project delivery and safe, efficient and environmentally responsible operations continues to grow.
Our STRIVE Values connect us and define how we behave. Whitehaven Coal awards, recognises and celebrates individuals and teams going above and beyond the requirements of their role to deliver excellent outcomes while demonstrating our values of Safety, Teamwork, Respect, Integrity, Value and Excellence.
About the Program
The Whitehaven Graduate Program is a dynamic two-year rotational initiative that will immerse you in various teams, sites and business functions, giving you a well-rounded understanding and exposure of the company and the mining industry. By the end of the program, you'll be fully equipped to thrive and make a lasting impact in your chosen career path.
Our program will see you mentored by senior leaders, gaining invaluable coaching and guidance whilst obtaining practical skills through hands-on experience and formal training in the mining industry.
Our Graduate Program rotations are team and location-based and may require relocation in the Gunnedah and Narrabri regions in NSW, or the Blackwater region in QLD. For Daunia, the role will be FIFO from a QLD location.
Our key operational sites include:
NSW
- Narrabri Underground
- Vickery Open Cut
- Gunnedah Coal Handling Process Plant
QLD
- Blackwater Mine
The ideal applicant will be adaptable and open to rotating across our various sites, including opportunities in different states.
What We Offer
Learning and Development
We provide learning and development opportunities for all graduates tailored to your career trajectory. This includes the relevant technical skills training, personal development and mentoring to support you in meeting your true potential.
Variety
No two days are the same as you gain a deep understanding of how a mine operates. You'll have the opportunity to work in different parts of our business, across our underground mine and our open cut operations in both NSW and QLD.
Relocation and Accommodation
Our Graduate Program presents an exciting opportunity to relocate to the region in which the mine operates; Gunnedah or Narrabri in NSW and Blackwater or FIFO to Daunia for our QLD based sites. Whitehaven is here to support your transition by providing relocation assistance and accommodation for your first three months, after which graduates will be responsible for organising their housing arrangements.
What You Can Offer
We are looking for graduates who are adaptable, keen to learn, resilient and who want to build a rewarding career in mining. It is essential that you resonate with our core values of safety, teamwork, respect, integrity, value and excellence.
You will be required to have working rights in Australia (international student visas accepted), a current Australian Drivers Licence and you must be willing to relocate.
We are seeking applications from recent or soon-to-be graduates who have completed their degree in the last three years (2023-2025).
For the role of a Geotechnical Engineer Graduate, you will need a tertiary qualification that will likely be in one of the following disciplines:
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Civil Engineering
To learn more about the program, head to the Graduates and Students section of our website.
Next Steps
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete cognitive and psychometric assessments and a video interview, prior to progressing to an interview with the hiring manager.
Successful candidates will be required to complete medical and background checks prior to offer.
Applications close on Monday 7th April 2025.
