Everyone belongs ​
We are a community where everyone is welcome, making sure our own behaviour enables others to shine. We know our unique combination of diverse perspectives, experience, expertise and backgrounds helps shape our competitive edge and fuels our power to innovate and adapt.​

We focus specifically on improving gender equality in our business and our industry. Our efforts have been recognised through WGEA’s Employer Choice for Gender Equality citation which we have held for nine consecutive years. We are also ranked sixth in Australia and 16^th globally for gender equality by Equileap.

Commitment to First Nations people
We strongly encourage applications from candidates of diverse backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We ensure reasonable adjustments are made to our recruitment, onboarding, and work practices to provide the most appropriate experience.

We recognise that Australia’s journey towards reconciliation must involve participation from all parts of society and it is important for us to show leadership in the communities we serve. Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is focused on creating meaningful and long-term connections with First Nation communities to help inform our actions.

More than roads
Our strong link to communities is visible from our sites and offices. We are vigilant about managing and monitoring our impacts on local communities, and work with communities to create local benefits.

In FY22, we invested more than $4 million in targeted community programs and partnerships, reinforcing our purpose – to strengthen communities through transport. Read more.

Minimising our impacts
We’re serious about ensuring our activities support the cities we operate in and the communities living and working near our roads. We’ve set high sustainability standards for our projects and operations, including working towards net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. See how we’re tracking.

We strive to offer an efficient and positive recruitment experience. If your motivations and skills align with what you’ve read, apply here. We know it takes time to tailor your applications, and we promise to respond to each individual applicant.

Please contact our Graduate Recruitment Team at graduates@transurban.com if you require additional assistance.

Step 1: Apply online (August 2023)

Submit your online application. We’ll review your suitability based on the role requirements and your academic experience.  

Step 2: Psychometric testing (August/September 2023)

Complete online assessments. These will examine your abilities and preferences when working with others, across changing conditions and with different types of information. Instructions and practice questions will be provided in advance.

Step 3: Video interview (September 2023) 

Participate in a one-way video assessment. You will record your answers to several set questions. This stage is designed for you to showcase your strengths, motivations and alignment to our core values.

Steps 4 and 5: Presentation and interview (September 2023)

We'll invite you to meet with us for some interactive, practical activities. This is designed to give you a hands-on feel for typical work tasks and may involve other members of the broader Transurban team. Types of activities may include a presentation and interview. In the presentation we may look at how you interact with others to solve a business problem, your process for follow up and what reflections you had. In the interview we will ask some structured behavioural based questions aligned to the graduate role requirements. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions about the program and what it’s like to work at Transurban.

Step 6: Offer and reference checks (September/October 2023)

We will contact your nominated referees to obtain their perspectives on your strengths, past achievements and ideal working environment.

Step 7: Onboarding commences

Your journey with us begins before your formal start date. You’ll be introduced to the 2024 graduates, your people leader, and buddy before you commence. You’ll learn more about how we operate, how you can grow and develop your career with us, and how we create road transport solutions that make us a partner of choice.

Step 8: First day

You'll be welcomed by your people leader and team on your first day. You’ll also get a facilities induction, so you know your way around. Then, later in your first month, you’ll get a corporate induction to Transurban, and your official graduate experience will commence.
