Engineering Graduate Program (Feb 2027) in Newcastle upon Tyne

Why choose Engineering as a grad? Smooth-running infrastructure projects are good for business and good for the community – you can be part of delivering some of Australia’s biggest and best. Engineering graduates help clients plan, deliver, track and maintain large-scale infrastructure projects, from sports stadiums to railways, often working as part of cross-functional teams. If you’re good at seeing both the big picture of a project’s aim as well as the smaller moving parts, use your degree to start something big with us.
