- KEAGAN ELDER

AUSTRALIA’S largest sugar producer is hiring.

Wilmar Sugar’s training and developmen­t manager Scott Young said the 2020 graduate program to bolster its engineerin­g ranks in North Queensland had been launched.

He said the company was hiring five engineerin­g graduates for its four milling regions.

“It is a great opportunit­y for people who are about to finish their degree in electrical, civil or mechanical engineerin­g to kickstart their career,” he said.

“Graduates take the theory they’ve learnt throughout their degree and apply it to $4 billion of raw sugar milling assets.”

Assistant production superinten­dent Blair Aspinall said the experience she had gained through Wilmar’s graduate program had been invaluable.

“I started with Wilmar in 2015 after graduating as a chemical engineer from the University of Queensland, and I would highly recommend Wilmar’s graduate program to any other final year engineerin­g students,” she said.

“It is a fantastic opportunit­y, where one person organises and guides the graduates through everything during the program.

“Senior managers were always touching base to see how we were doing and how they could help. The mentoring has been amazing.”

Ms Aspinall said she had experience­d opportunit­ies she might not have received in other graduate programs and was now the assistant production superinten­ded at Wilmar’s Kalamia Mill in the Burdekin.

Applicatio­ns close on September 30. For more, visit Wilmar’s careers website. raw
