Operations Graduate Program (Feb 2024)

WHAT YOU’LL LOVE

We are excited to be recruiting our Operations leaders and problem solvers of tomorrow, in REMONDIS Australia’s 2024 Graduate Program!

With many of REMONDIS’ current leaders joining through previous graduate programs, we are proud of the reputation we have built globally, for investing in wonderful graduate talent.

Our commitment to your career goes way beyond the two-year program. You will be parachuted into hands-on placements covering all corners of our business and operations, giving you varied exposure, diverse experiences, and a breadth of knowledge.  

You’ll get to explore the world of REMONDIS through multiple rotations with the aim of creating innovative and strong leaders within the Operations Team of a specific state in Australia. We will be looking for Graduates across Australia located in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, and South Australia.

This is a hands-on program where you will be working in an industrial environment supporting operations in depots, transit stations and recycling facilities. This isn’t a typical office job; you will be interacting and working with all levels of the waste and recycling industry, so be prepared to get your boots on!

You will have formal education in core areas (such as Environmental Science, Chemistry, Engineering, Logistics, Business and Commerce, Arts and Communication) and display strategic thinking, problem solving and flexibility, and be comfortable working in an industrial environment. We will collaborate with you in supporting your development, gaining powerful skills such as self-awareness, resilience, emotional intelligence, learning teamwork and collaborative values.

You will be joining our business at a time of exciting transformation, where you’ll grow from opportunities to take accountability. Yes, there will be formal learning and supercharged development, but you will not be in ‘training mode.’ Rather, your learning and growth will happen from being in a real-life setting, with exceptional mentors and a clear mission.

WHO WE ARE

REMONDIS is one of the world's largest recycling, service, and water companies. We are a privately owned family company headquartered in Germany, with over 40,000 employees and operations on four continents. We have been here in Australia since 1982.

The waste industry is evolving at a cracking pace. REMONDIS Australia is also during our own organisational evolution. We are building the systems, processes, and infrastructure we need to remain at the forefront of the circular economy journey.
We’re searching for recent graduates who have the curiosity, drive and resilience required to help us on that path.
Together, we believe we can achieve a more sustainable future; a future in which waste is a resource.
