Our 2-year development program consists of four rotations across different business units. These will help you develop core operational skills.

With 150+ sites around Australia and four rotations, you can expect to be based in several different locations during the Program, in your respective state. If you are seeking rotations in other states, this may also be possible. Our sites are typically in the outer suburbs so you may need to travel for your role.

We’ll be in touch directly after you submit your application. Our recruitment process typically runs from March to June and we’ll keep you advised of your progress at each stage of the process. If you’re successful, you can expect an offer around July or prior. Good luck!

Past and present graduates are strong advocates of the program and many have gone on to enjoy successful senior careers at Linfox.
Hear it first from the following graduate success stories.
Qualifications – Bachelor of Accounting and Finance, Masters of Supply Chain
“I started the Linfox Graduate Program with a rotation in Retail Operations. Linfox encourage us make the most of our opportunities and from early on, I supervised a team of drivers and helped to implement a new business initiative.
I enjoyed this operational experience for many reasons, but most of all for the customer interaction. It gave me a great foundation for my development within the program.
My next rotation was with the finance and commercial team with our Resources and Industrial business unit. This was particularly interesting as the business unit has recently been awarded a number of new contracts with fuels customers.
The experience I gained through the program was invaluable and helped me to land my current role as Fleet Controller within Resources and Industrial, where I oversee the operations for one of our fuels customers and manage a team of drivers.”
Qualifications – Bachelor of International Business
“One of the first things I noticed when I joined the Linfox Graduate Program is that you really feel like part of the team.
The program is all about getting involved in different operations. I was lucky enough to have three hands-on rotations in Warehousing, Transport and Commercial/Finance contracts.
I was able to draw on the knowledge acquired during my degree and gain experience in the end to end operations of a chilled warehouse and a transport site that services over 200 stores daily. I gained exposure to the site’s daily operations including load planning, customer interaction and negotiation, budgeting, weekly financial reporting and driver safety.
In my final rotation within a Retail Transport operation I was given the opportunity to work alongside senior team members on a tender submission for an interstate Retail Transport contract, which paved the way to my current role as a Commercial Analyst within the Retail business unit.”
