Department of Transport and Main Roads Graduate Programs & Internships

They recruit a variety of Professional and Administration streams for the TMR Graduate Program. If you have working rights and the appropriate recognised qualification, then they want to hear from you.

The Program offers permanent employment commencing the following February. You may be brought into the business earlier on a temporary or casual basis. 

Given they are a state-wide employer, there may be opportunities in multiple locations for your stream. They encourage you to consider and apply for multiple locations. Working in one of their regions offers you the experience to contribute to the community and rapidly grow your practical skills like no other.

There are 6 steps in the graduate recruitment process from application to offer which apply to all graduate roles. Please note, if you meet the suitability requirements for multiple positions, you may be offered a position outside of the one you initially applied for.

Our recruitment process is currently under review. We are looking to enhance candidate experience and make our process faster and smoother.
