Forestry Corporation is looking for graduates in disciplines including forestry, agriculture, environmental science, and natural resources who have completed an Undergraduate or Post Graduate Program in the last 18 months or who will be completing their studies this year.
Our two-year Graduate Program will consist of on-the-job learning, mentoring, exposure to senior leaders and an active support network that will accelerate your career towards becoming one of our next operational leaders.
The rotations will provide exposure to a range of roles within our Softwood Plantation Division to build your knowledge and give you a deep understanding of the technical aspects of forestry roles. Each graduate will experience diverse work programs and workplaces, supported throughout by a dedicated learning and development pathway.
Ideally, you will start as part of our seasonal firefighting crew in late November 2022 with nationally accredited training provided.
Graduate roles could be based at either Tumut or Bathurst with opportunities also to travel to other locations on short-term assignments.
During our two-year Graduate Program, we will work with you to enhance your professional development and consider your future career opportunities. After the program, we will work proactively with you to identify suitable positions within Forestry Corporation.
Applicants should apply online or via our careers page. Your application should include your CV, Academic Transcript (unofficial is acceptable) and Right-To-Work documents (Australian Passport or Birth Certificate/Photo ID).

During the selection process, you will be required to participate in a range of assessment activities to help us evaluate your suitability for our Graduate Program.
At Forestry Corporation, the health, safety and wellbeing of our people, our contractors and our communities is the highest priority, which is why successful candidates will also be required to provide evidence of their COVID-19 vaccination status or medical exemption and satisfactorily complete a Drug and Alcohol screening, Medical Assessment, and fitness assessment for firefighting.
When circumstances require it, firefighting is an essential element of the role. Accordingly, the successful candidate(s) must be fit to perform firefighting activities, which may include working in smoky conditions and the ability to be physically active in uneven or steep terrain. A pre-employment medical assessment may preclude applicants that are unable to meet the inherent requirements of the role due to high-risk conditions for example active asthma or heart conditions in line with AFAC guidelines.
To be eligible for employment you must be an Australian Citizen, a permanent resident of Australia, a New Zealand citizen with a current NZ Passport, or a citizen of another country with an appropriate visa that allows you to work in Australia. If you currently hold a temporary visa that allows you to live and work in Australia, you may only be offered employment in line with the conditions and expiry date of your visa.
At Forestry Corporation, we strive to always lead with our values and promote a diverse and inclusive workplace. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
