The Opportunity

This is the fourth year Mawsons are running our extremely successful Operations Cadetship Program. This is an exciting opportunity for 18–25-year-olds to complete a 10-month cadetship commencing in late January 2026. Our goal is to secure local talent and provide development opportunities and experiences to young people in the communities in which we work. Mawsons also welcomes applications from school leavers over the age of (or soon turning) 18.

The successful candidates will be rotated through four of our primary operations areas; concrete, quarries, technical and workshops (mechanical & fabrication). Each cadet will be assigned a Mawsons mentor to provide meaningful, practical support and guidance throughout the cadetship. During this hands-on program Cadets will have the opportunity to gain valuable industry experience, practical skills, training, and workplace knowledge from our friendly, professional teams whilst earning a competitive wage.

At the successful completion of the cadetship the objective is for each participant to be offered a suitable permanent on-going role with Mawsons dependent on their skills, preferences, desired work location and the business needs at that time.

• Willingness to learn new skills and flexibility to adapt to changing tasks and on-site conditions.
• Ability to work collaboratively with others, contributing positively to a team environment.
