The Program 

Join the TPG Telecom ‘Early Careers’ Program and unleash your potential as one of our future tech industry leaders. We offer endless opportunities for learning, working with some of the latest technologies, and work alongside some of the best in the business. 

The program will be commencing mid-2023, in our Sydney office in the heart of Barangaroo. Our 18-month program will see you join a cohort of other ambitious early in career professionals. You will be working on challenging and meaningful work within our Technology department, adding value as a full-time employee from day one, delivering real results. 

Program Structure 

With our 18-month Program, you will be participating in 3 x 6-month rotations, choosing which area is best aligned to you and your aspirations. Rotations span across three key areas across Technology:

• Engineering (Networks & IT)
• Tech Security  
• Project Management / Governance / Service Ownership 

If you are driven and resourceful and would like to join a company with big goals and ambitions, this could be the opportunity for you!

Applications for our TPG Telecom Early Career Program are open in early February 2023 for an anticipated midyear start in 2023. This year’s intake will be for Sydney. Interstate applications are welcome, however you must be prepared to cover all travel costs for attendance at key selection stages if invited.

We believe in embracing different backgrounds, experiences and ideas. We know that diverse perspectives lead to better business outcomes. Only by listening to unique perspectives, can we best understand and serve our diverse customer base, collaborate successfully and innovate in a world of increasingly fast-paced change. 

We aim to create an environment of equality where each of us feels supported and respected to be ourselves at work, and are continuing to extend and enhance our long-standing focus on creating an inclusive workplace, where all of our people belong.

Flexibility

Creating a working environment that enables human connection and fosters a sense of community is important in enabling us to live our company purpose and bring to life the Spirit of TPG.

We believe there are great benefits when we connect in person and virtually and are committed to working flexibly, collaboratively and creatively through a hybrid approach. Our approach to hybrid working empowers our teams to create a way of working that best suits the needs of our people, customers, our organisation and the communities we serve.

Gender equality

At TPG Telecom, we want to foster an inclusive workplace that maximises the participation of women in the workplace, while supporting them to develop and progress into leadership roles.

Our focus to date has been on combatting inequality by reducing the gender pay gap and supporting parents at work through several initiatives, including Super Bump, pay equity reviews, and family & domestic violence leave.

Since 2017, TPG Telecom has offered a Super Bump program for female employees as a practical step towards more financial independence. This provides two extra payments of $250 per year for female employees who have been with the company for more than 12 months. This benefit has now been extended across our TPG Telecom workforce in Australia.

We also have an employee network dedicated to furthering gender equality in STEM named STEMpower. Its aim is to influence girls and women to consider a career in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths to build a future talent pipeline, while also enabling women at TPG Telecom to grow and succeed.

LGBTQI+ employees

We want our LGBTQI+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex) employees and customers to be proud of who they are, because we’re proud to stand alongside them.

Our Connect: LGBTQI+ and Friends Network aims to bring together all employees to champion equality and create a safe community for LGBTQI+ employees and allies. 

First Nations 

At TPG Telecom we support initiatives that deliver better futures for all Australians. We believe everyone has a role to play in creating equity and opportunities for First Nations Peoples, the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we operate and deliver services to customers and the communities where they live.

In 2021, we released our first ‘Reflect’ Reconciliation Action Plan that details our commitment to reconciliation as an organisation. As part of this, we launched our employee network The Ngarra Network to help educate one another around cultural awareness as well as the history of Australia.

Perks & Benefits

TPG Telecom recognises and values the contribution of its employees and is proud to reward employees for their achievements, providing great employee benefits to suit your lifestyle.
