Our 40,000 employees provide a diverse range of transport and logistics solutions covering road, air, sea and rail to help our customer’s best meet their global supply chain needs. We’re passionate about logistics, and are looking to attract the best and brightest in the field and create a place where our people can forge rewarding careers.
Our Program
The two year Toll Graduate Program is about developing future leaders across our operations. You will gain experience across our Global Logistics, Global Express and Global Forwarding businesses. This means working in either Warehousing and Distribution, Express Parcels and Intermodal and Specialised Services and Transport and Freight Forwarding. You will be in steel cap shoes and high visibility clothing working with a diverse pool of fantastic people across our business.
Within our Global Logistics business you will gain exposure by working across various industries including, healthcare, retail and consumer or even energy and marine, you will be learning about how our sites operate, from how logistic solutions are developed to support our customers and how we manage our customer’s warehouse and distribution channels.
In our Global Express business you gain experience in our fast paced and ever moving domestic and global delivery services with freight that is delivered via our network of vans, trucks, aircrafts and ships.

If you are looking for a career in international freight sales, Global Forwarding could be what you are looking for.
As some of our sites operate 24/7, you may be required to work shift work to experience the operations at a specific time of the day. This does not always suit everyone, but is part of our business.
You will be exposed to business-as-usual activities and collaborative projects working across functions. And the best bit? If you are wanting to experience what it’s like to live and work overseas, there is also the opportunity for those who excel, to work overseas as part of the program.

Keep in mind
Our sites are predominately located in industrial estates in the outer suburbs, you must be willing to drive to each rotation’s location if there is no public transport. Depending on where you live, this could mean an hour or more travel time to work each day. Typically you cannot catch public transport to our sites, so you must have the ability to get to and from your rotation site. This does not always suit everyone, so keep this in mind when applying for our program.

Reviews
Looking at data reports, trying to solve and backtrack issues occurring.
I'm currently involved in operational data analytics. My line manager will provide me with the scope of a project, and I will then obtain any relevant data, analyze and present to relevant stakeholders. I'm also learning about day-to-day operations on the floor.
Involved in multiple projects to deliver more values to the company and customers.

Pros and cons of working at Toll Group AU
Pros
The best thing is that I get exposed to different divisions of the business and have a good overview.
Variety of work and the opportunity to build a strong foundation in the logistic industry by experiencing several disciplines (Operations, Commercial, Financial etc.) of the Business Units
Travelling for work, getting supports from all level of managements.
Graduates get lots of exposure to different parts of the organisation and, subsequently, develop a holistic understanding of the business. Managers also encourage you to visit other sites to learn how they operate and identify any new opportunities at your site. Graduates get plenty of opportunity to interact with the Senior Leadership Team, including the Managing Director. Through shadowing opportunities, we also gain insight into how Managers organise and complete their day to day tasks. Work hours are also quite flexible. Depending on the site's operations, you could work shift hours or standard business hours.
Good variety of work! There is also the opportunity to experience different working environments (i.e. from office to depot) and contribute to high-quality projects
Cons
The down time in between projects and the lack of clear structure or agenda for future tasks.
The organisation has not had a Graduate Program prior to 2017, so some Operations Managers are still learning how to best utilise and assign tasks to graduates.
Some systems are quite old, which can sometimes make data analysis tedious
Depending on the rotation, hours may not be ideal
