Wamarra acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands upon which we work, live and socialise. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who we recognise as Australia’s First Peoples whose cultural practices continue today.
Step into your career
The best way to launch your career in construction is to dive in and get hands-on. That’s exactly what the Ignite Graduate Program is designed for.
You’ll be guided by industry experts and get a full-circle view of the construction world - from live sites to behind-the-scenes planning. Along the way, you’ll gain the practical skills, knowledge and confidence to make an impact from day one.
To help you take that first step, we’ve put together some of our top tips and guidance for applying.
The tailored graduate program is your opportunity to learn, grow and lead, guided by culture and connection by purpose.
Your first step in about connection. You’ll break bread with our leadership team, sharing stories and hearing how our projects shape Country and the community. From there, you’ll be paired with a personal mentor – someone who’ll walk beside you, offering guidance, support and knowledge as you explore every part of our business.
Together, we’ll take you through the heart of what we do:
Our projects are built by people, not just plans. Learn how to bring teams together, understand their strengths and lead with respect and integrity.
Like the changing seasons, timing matters. Discover how we plan, map and coordinate every moving piece so our teams and projects stay in harmony.
The right foundations start with the right numbers. Learn how to prepare accurate estimates, understand variations, and manage the contractual side of building.
Learn how to read the land, interpret survey models, and set out our work with care and precision, respecting the Country beneath our feet.
Understand the practical rights and obligations that keep projects on track, reducing risks and ensuring clarity every step of the way.
From sourcing materials to engaging subcontractors, you’ll learn how to bring together the right people and resources to make projects possible.
People are at the heart of everything we do. Gain the skills to create safe, supportive worksites where everyone goes home safely at the end of the day.
Understand the costs behind a project, how to manage them and how to find opportunities that strengthen our work and our communities.
Each year in February, we open the doors to future pathways. If you’ve completed an undergraduate degree in Australia or New Zealand within the last two years, this is your opportunity to step into a career where purpose meets possibility.
While Ignite is geared towards engineering graduates, we invite graduates in business management, safety, quality and environmental studies, human resources, accounting, law and other shared services like marketing and IT to apply.
Whatever your qualification, what you’ll need most is a passion for construction.
At Wamarra, we’re all about our people. We’re looking for team players and progressive thinkers who can communicate their ideas and passions while developing their industry knowledge.
If you've got heart and determination and aspire to be a future leader in the construction industry, we want you to help us build better, futures.
We try not to drag things out. Our team reviews all applications manually and for some roles, this can take some time so please be patient. You can keep updated on your application by checking your candidate profile online.
