As a Mainfreight graduate, you'll be working in one of the world's most exciting, diverse and fast-paced industries. Global supply chain logistics is booming worldwide – and a role with Mainfreight gets you right amongst it.

We're a business that's as much about problem-solving for our customers as we are about physically moving their freight. Today our business revolves around clever thinking, smart technologies, international logistics and above all, people. 

We manage the worldwide transport, logistics and distribution for our customers, getting their products from a point of origin into the hands of their consumers. We handle everything from perishable food and flowers to heavy duty machinery, wine – even designer cycling gear!

Where in the world are we?

With the world’s trading marketplace becoming more and more global, demand for Mainfreight’s services has never been higher. We’re opening in new cities and new countries around the world, every few months.

A career with Mainfreight has the scope to take you to any part of our business in any one of these regions below.

We’re on a whirlwind journey – and we’re looking for talented, energetic people who can learn fast, grow and ultimately, lead our business into the future.

Are you up for it?

The moment you become a member of the Mainfreight family, your career hits overdrive - if you want it to.  Anything is possible here because you get to work right alongside the best people, make real-life decisions, and take charge of your own career path – right from day one.

We don’t run a cookie-cutter grad program. Your career progress is  based on your skills, hard work and ability to learn, rather than rotations or ‘time in the job’.  We operate a ‘promote from within culture’ which means your talents will get noticed - and you’ll be amongst the first to be considered for new roles. 

Not your run of the mill corporate

Politically correct doesn’t feature in our vocabulary. We don’t toe the corporate line and we’re no stranger to ruffling a few feathers. This makes us different to most corporates – and it makes some days pretty exciting around here!

We actively share our profits and successes; we train people to replace us; we encourage individuals to make decisions for themselves, and we care for and give back to our extended families and communities.

Here, you have the freedom to go as far as you dare. If that freedom means travelling and living in other parts of the world, if a new area of the business gets you excited or you’re fired up about running this global business one day, we say “go for it”! 

With Mainfreight’s straight-up culture, you’ll always know exactly what’s expected of you, how you can make it happen and how far and fast you can go. 

As a Mainfreight graduate, you’ll be expected to one day, lead our business into the future. Rise to the challenge and the world’s your oyster!

So what does life at Mainfreight look like? From driving a forklift to strategizing with experienced managers, to leading a team – you will be involved in the full range of business and supply chain management activities.

At Mainfreight it’s about the right fit, rather than the right degree. We're just as interested in what you bring as an individual as what you studied and where.
