QinetiQ Australia Graduate Programs & Internships

  • Technology

Our award-winning Graduate Development Program is one of the industry's most immersive graduate experiences. From day one, our graduates have access to some of the industry's foremost Subject Matter Experts, with the opportunity to contribute to some of Australia's most inspiring innovations.

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, so as a graduate, you will be in great company, forming an integral part of our Early Careers community. Our industry-leading Graduate Development Program Framework facilitates the transformation from graduate to industry professional. In 18 months, our graduates are upskilled technically and professionally, ready to advance the boundaries of technology and industry.

Embracing Listen, one of QinetiQ's three core values, we have taken our Graduates' feedback on board and we are thrilled to announce that this year, we have created multiple streams within our Graduate Development Program. Each role has been aligned to one of two streams:

  • Rotational Stream: Targeted at graduates who are keen to allow curiosity to fuel their graduate experience, seeing them rotate through 3 different placements within our business
  • Fixed Stream: Targeted at graduates who know the niche capability in which they want to upskill. The fixed role will see the graduate stay in the same team for the entire 18-month duration.

Whether you're experiencing a diversity of work through rotating around the business, or contributing to multiple projects within your fixed team, we will provide a structured learning program to all graduates.

As a graduate with QinetiQ Australia, you will work alongside inspiring leaders who are established in their fields, whose professionalism stands out and whose customers trust them implicitly. All of our leaders are committed and want to invest in you, passing on their valuable skills, knowledge and niche expertise.

Our people and our culture make QinetiQ a great place to work; we value integrity, collaboration and performance. We are committed to attracting and retaining the best talent in the market. We celebrate our differences and incorporate diversity and inclusion into everything we do.

QinetiQ is a Workplace Gender Equality Agency Employer of Choice, and past winner of the Defence Teaming Centre Employer of Choice Awards.

Rotations:

Based on feedback from our graduates and managers, we have implemented two (2) separate streams within our Graduate Development Program; Rotational and Fixed. We recognise that some graduates want a breadth of experience - you don't know what you don't know right! Others are focused on becoming a niche, technical expert in their chosen field. Our new streams provide the opportunity for graduates to follow their career aspirations, whatever they may be.

Promotion:

Upon completion of the 18-month Graduate Development Program, all graduates will offboard into permanent roles. This comes with a salary review, and position title change.
