Our Graduate Programme
Our philosophy is to recruit and 'grow' our own people, rather than hire people from other businesses. That is why we invest in and manage the long-term growth and development of our people, right from the start.
The Mainfreight Development Programme seeks those willing to get stuck in and who are keen to embrace all kinds of challenges and new experiences.
Roll up your sleeves for a practical and hands-on learning experience at the core of our business. Bringing value to your role, team, branch you will have the ability to grab opportunities with both hands and help paint the world blue.
The graduate program is considered unstructured and doesn't involve set pathways or fixed rotations. To understand the fundamentals you would spend a minimum of 12 months in the operations.
The key to being successful is to utilise the time on the floor and learning what makes our business tick. Having the right attitude and having a team-driven mind-set is also essential. If this sounds like something you can throw yourself into then look no further than Mainfreight.
Once you have learnt the fundamentals of Mainfreight on the operations floor, you will move into other areas of the business where you will get the right mix of autonomy and support. We believe that the right people can learn the specifics of any role so our focus is on helping you develop personal and professional skills that will allow you to take on any role in the business.
We are an ever-changing business and we are constantly reviewing new ways to help our team develop the world-class skills that will lead our business into the future.
