Our Service capability spans the full asset lifecycle – from design, minor capital works and operations maintenance, asset and facilities management, through to decommissioning – complemented by technology-enabled solutions. Whether it's connecting people to faster networks, remediating contaminated land, keeping traffic flowing and our hospitals and schools running, our clients never switch off – so neither do we.
We are encouraging applications from Indigenous Graduates to join our #VentiaGrad Program in January 2022.

You will have many opportunities to establish relationships with clients and senior stakeholders of the business. In addition to this, your rotations will take you out of your comfort zone by giving you the chance to work in both corporate and field-work environments.
Graduate rotations will vary depending on location, current projects and personal preference. Areas you could be working include but are not limited to:
- Engineering
- People & Capability
- Marketing & Communications
- Accounting and Finance
- Pre-contracts and Commercial
- Digital Services
- Safety, Health, Environment & Quality (SHEQ)
This ensures you have breadth in your experience and to maximise your exposure to the diversity of our business!

Pros and cons of working at Ventia
Pros
The people here are all really great. Generally very supportive and easy to talk to.
The best thing about working at Ventia is the opportunities and experiences you have with different teams.
Lots of flexibility, great people, lots of opportunities.
Having the opportunity to be included in different rotations is extremely beneficial for grads as we get our foot in the door for different roles.
The work culture and inclusivity at Ventia are amazing, even as a grad we are asked to be a part of all social events, leadership meetings, and workshops.
Cons
Our salary is not as competitive as some other companies.
For long periods, I have had nothing to do and generally was underutilised.
Having the company work across New Zealand and Australia creates some communication barriers.
Sometimes due to how large the company is and the variety of work they do, it's difficult to get a proper handle on what everyone does at the company and know who to reach out to.
Travel distance far from site areas.
