Delivered over 18 months, the graduate will be placed with senior engineering team members within the Carmichael Mine and Bowen Rail networks and will also undertake on site learning with Central Queensland University across three modules.
Key outcomes will see graduates grow into confident and productive professionals, with the capability to drive business results for our exciting project.
Our Graduate Program will use best-practice educational techniques and will not only develop the skills of the graduate, but also their interpersonal skills as a future leader of our business.
Program Overview
Delivered across three, six-month modules, our graduates will spend their time working on site, operating on a 7-days-on, 7-days off roster.
The graduate will work on day to day operational demands, always benefiting from the tutelage of a Senior Engineer or Senior member of the Bravus or BRC team.

Each module begins with a 2- or 3-day workshop, setting the scene for the module’s key areas. The graduate will attend small tutorial class sessions with a range of experiential learning activities.

MODULE 1
Personal Development - Communication for leadership success
Module 1 lays the foundations for professional and personal growth as a valuable team member.

The graduate will learn to identify communication styles, manage their own day-to-day priorities, understand emotional intelligence and be a resilient member of the team.
MODULE 2
Contemporary Leadership
Module 2 examines how a contemporary leader contributes to the evolution of our organisations. This module will evaluate the effectiveness of various leadership models, theories, frameworks, and techniques that create success to improve. These theories and practices for the graduates influence the development of strategic decisions intended to achieve sustainable business outcomes.
MODULE 3
Future Leader - Delivering successful projects as a leader
Module 3 identifies and builds on competencies the graduate requires to become a future leader in business. The module helps the graduate gain skills to develop their work abilities and identify new ways of doing things.
