Developing future leaders

Our Graduate Management Development Program (MDP) is designed to prepare the next generation of leaders. Through structured learning, mentoring and hands-on experience across key areas such as concrete, aggregates, logistics and technical services, participants develop a strong understanding of our business while developing the skills and confidence to make an impact.
Many graduates progress into leadership roles including plant manager, quarry supervisor, technical specialist and more. Our interns also contribute valuable ideas and gain practical experience in sustainable construction, innovation in materials and operational excellence.


A program shaped by feedback

Continuous improvement is central to our Graduate Program. Based on more than 200 reviews, Heidelberg Materials Australia achieved top scores in management, sustainability, diversity and corporate social responsibility. These results highlight our culture of care and collaboration and our focus on creating a supportive environment where people can grow. As one graduate, Emily former MDP graduate and now Concrete Plant Manager at HMA shared:

The MDP was amazing, letting me explore all parts of the business to find my passion while building my leadership skills and industry knowledge. The company’s supportive environment has empowered me as a woman thriving in a male dominant field and has helped shape me into the leader I am today.
