Discover our impressive range of employee benefits

From day one, our graduates have access to some of the industry’s foremost subject matter experts, with the opportunity to contribute to some of Australia’s most inspiring innovations.

Throughout the duration of the 18-month program, our graduates are exposed to the full depth and breadth of the industry. We encourage our graduates to be led by their curiosity and take advantage of QinetiQ’s immense range of capabilities, tailoring their learning experience to match their evolving interests.

To ensure our graduates enjoy the best possible support, we do not currently offer an intake into the program every year. When opportunities are available, they will be promoted here, at our online careers centre and on our social media channels.
