Graduate Opportunity: Mechanical Engineering

Start your career where theory meets hands-on application.

Adbri is looking for a curious, driven, and hands-on Mechanical Engineering Graduate to join our high-performing team in cement manufacturing. This role is ideal for someone ready to move beyond the textbooks and take on real-world engineering challenges—contributing directly to the performance, reliability, and improvement of large-scale mechanical systems and maintenance operations.

You'll work closely with a team of experienced engineers and maintenance professionals in a supportive, collaborative environment. This is a unique opportunity to be mentored by industry experts and gain meaningful project experience from day one.

In this role, you’ll:

• Assist with root cause investigations and reliability-focused problem solving
• Help develop maintenance strategies and procedures
• Support and deliver SIB (Sustain in Business) projects to improve equipment performance
• Work alongside site engineers, maintenance managers, and trades teams
• Contribute to operational support across multiple sites

You’ll be exposed to a wide variety of engineering initiatives, playing a key role in ensuring our manufacturing assets run safely and efficiently.

We’re looking for someone who’s ready to roll up their sleeves and get involved—not just sit behind a desk.

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering, preferably focused on maintenance or reliability
• Solid understanding of mechanical systems and engineering principles
• Strong computer skills, especially Microsoft Office
• A valid driver’s licence (site travel required)
• A proactive, inquisitive mindset with strong communication skills
• Confidence engaging with a variety of stakeholders across teams

Familiarity with SAP is a bonus, but not required.

Development & Support

At Adbri, your growth matters. As a graduate, you’ll receive:

• Structured onboarding and training across systems and safety protocols
• Access to external online training and short courses based on project needs
• Ongoing coaching from senior engineers and mentors
• Real, hands-on experience to prepare you for future roles in maintenance, reliability, or broader engineering functions

You’ll join a team that values knowledge-sharing, practical problem-solving, and inclusivity. We encourage continuous learning and provide the support you need to build confidence and capability.

Who we’re looking for

A standout candidate is someone eager to be hands-on, confident working on site, and mature in how they approach challenges. Whether you're just graduating or transitioning from a technical trade background, we value initiative, resilience, and a passion for solving problems in the field.
