More than big projects

Leighton Contractors is one of Australia's largest and most diverse contracting and project development companies. Our operations span Construction, Resources, Telecommunications, Industrial & Energy and Investment & Facilities Management.

We are a company of more than 9,000 people and it's our people's talent and energy that are the foundation of our success. As part of the Leighton Holdings Group we also carry the backing of one of Australia's largest companies.

We want to make sure that Leighton Contractors is a great place for you to gain some fantastic work experience whilst undertaking your studies. What makes our company really different is the importance that we place on living our values at work. Most companies talk about values these days. But at the heart of our values is a belief in being optimistic towards others, empowering people, giving everyone a 'fair go' and looking after our workmates as if they're family.

You might say that these are 'real values for real people'. We're looking for the next generation of people who want to work with a company that does these things. You should also want to step into a role that provides a practical edge to your studies and gives you a sense of achievement, now, not later.

We have opportunities available to work on some of Australia's most significant infrastructure and resource projects.
