Hear from some of our current scholarship students, about why they applied, vacation work, and tips for applying.

The Energy Queensland graduate program provides opportunities to build your career in electrical, electronic, power and mechatronics engineering, with some opportunities for mechanical, civil and structural engineering students. These award-winning programs were recently recognised by Prosple.

Hear from some of our graduates, past and present, to learn more about what it's like to be on our graduate program.

"Advice that I'd give to someone looking to apply for the program, is definitely try to do work experience or a co-op placement if you can - and if you could, do an industry thesis with either Energex or Ergon Energy Network. That gave me like a deeper understanding of the business and the industry, and really solidified that I wanted to be in power engineering."

Amy Phan

"There are pretty unlimited career prospects after the graduate program. Looking around the company there are a lot of people who have come out of the graduate program and have reached some pretty high places. It's such a diverse company and there are so many different departments that I could definitely see myself working in and other people could have fun in too."

Jake Anderson

"It's a really interesting experience being a graduate. There are a lot of diverse work groups and the type of work that we get to do. I've got to work in both Brisbane and the Cairns offices, as well as far out west of Roma and up in the Cape as well. That's been a really amazing experience to see some of the different communities that we serve."
