Build a Career That Shapes Australia

At Heidelberg Materials Australia, we produce the materials that build Australia’s homes, roads, bridges and infrastructure.

With more than 4,000 employees across 300 sites nationwide, we’re one of Australia’s leading construction materials companies, supplying concrete, aggregates, asphalt, sand and road base to major projects and local communities alike.

Our people are hands‑on, practical and ambitious. That’s why our Management Development Program (MDP) has been designed to develop the next generation of operational and business leaders.

Where Talent Thrives

Our 2‑year rotational Graduate Management Trainee Program gives you real‑world exposure across our operations, leadership teams and commercial functions.

This is not a desk‑only graduate role.

One day you could be learning how a quarry operates or working alongside production teams in a concrete plant. The next, you could be involved in budgeting, logistics, process improvement or leadership development with senior managers.

You’ll experience both metropolitan and regional placements across your region, giving you a broad understanding of how our business operates from the ground up.

You’ll swap corporate wear for steel caps regularly, and that’s exactly what makes this program different.

Why Join Our MDP?

At Heidelberg Materials Australia, we genuinely believe in growing our own leaders.

In fact, around 80% of our senior leaders started their careers through the MDP, including our CEO.

By the end of the program, you’ll have developed practical operational experience, leadership capability and commercial understanding that will set you up for long‑term career opportunities across our business.
