Applications are open for Glencore’s 2026 Graduate Programs, building exciting and well-paid careers for engineers, environmental scientists, geologists, accountants, and health and safety, human resource and IT professionals.
Since 2020 Glencore has welcomed 620 new graduates into its diverse coal, zinc and copper operations, in locations like Singleton and Muswellbrook in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley, and Mount Isa, Townsville, Emerald and Tieri in regional Queensland.
Starting in February 2026, the two-year programs will give aspiring professionals a chance to supercharge their careers with one of Australia’s leading mining companies.
The programs offer a competitive salary and benefits package, hands-on experience and first-class mentoring from some of the industry’s brightest minds.
Michelle Montgomery, Human Resources Manager at Glencore Coal, said the program is more than just a career opportunity; graduates develop important new skills while experiencing regional Australia and immersing themselves in new communities.
"Our Graduate Program provides a platform for emerging professionals to learn, contribute, and thrive in a supportive and challenging environment," Michelle said.
"Beyond technical skills participants have the chance to learn from industry experts and hone their skills in communication, teamwork, and leadership.
“The foundations of our program include an absolute focus on safety culture, teamwork, integrity, and having responsibility to solve real challenges. These focus areas are, in turn, tied to Glencore’s core values.”
Applications for the 2026 Graduate Program will close on Sunday 27 April 2025.
