Where careers start strong – and grow fast
Worley’s Graduate Development Program is designed to do more than launch careers. It accelerates them.
Graduates in engineering, project services and construction gain hands-on experience on real projects from day one. They’re supported by mentorship, structured learning pathways and leadership development opportunities that help them grow both technical expertise and the confidence to lead in a rapidly evolving industry.
As the energy, chemicals and resources sectors transform, so must the skills that power them. Early careers talent brings fresh thinking, digital fluency and the curiosity to challenge convention – exactly what’s needed to help Worley customers navigate complexity and deliver sustainable change.
“Investing in early careers talent is critical to our long-term strategy. As our industry evolves, we need fresh thinking and skills that will help us define the future. Graduates and early career professionals bring the curiosity and adaptability that help us challenge convention and deliver for our customers,” said James Kirk, Global Talent Acquisition.
“It’s great to be recognized by Handshake in North America. This award celebrates the strength of our university partnerships and reinforces Worley as a place where early careers can start strong and grow fast.”
