About the role
- Graduate Mechanical Engineer role at Wood's Perth office part of the 2027 graduate cohort. Work involves critical metals projects with opportunities for professional development and flexible arrangements.
Responsibilities
- Assisting senior engineers with projects: You may be asked to help with research, testing, or other tasks related to ongoing projects.
- Learning Wood processes and procedures: It's important to understand how Wood operates and the specific procedures and protocols you'll be expected to follow.
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams: Engineering projects often involve multiple disciplines and teams, so you may need to work with colleagues from other areas of Wood.
- Debugging and troubleshooting: If a product or system isn't working as intended, you may be called upon to help identify and resolve the problem.
- Preparing reports and presentations: You may need to communicate your findings and progress to your team, manager, or other stakeholders.
- Continuously improving your skills and knowledge: The engineering field is constantly evolving, so it's important to stay up to date with new developments and best practices.
Requirements
- Completed your Mechanical Engineering degree by the end of 2026 or earlier
- Attention to detail: You will be responsible for creating detailed designs and specifications and must pay close attention to detail to ensure the accuracy and safety of the work.
- Teamwork: Most engineering projects require collaboration and teamwork, so strong interpersonal and collaboration skills are essential
- Adaptability: Engineering is a constantly evolving field, and as a graduate engineer you should be able to adapt to new technologies and techniques.
- Problem solving: Engineering often requires finding creative solutions to complex problems. Good critical thinking, analytical and problem-solving skills are highly valued.
- Communication skills: The ability to communicate technical information in a clear and concise manner is important for a graduate engineer. This includes the ability to write reports, give presentations, and explain complex technical concepts to non-technical colleagues.

- Creativity: have that innate ability to “think outside the box”
- Analytical ability: ability to think analytically to fully define a problem and develop solutions suited to the problem.
- Logical thinking: ability to understand how a system works, what can go wrong and how to fix it. This requires the ability to think logically and evaluate and understand each element that makes up the system.
- Leadership: well-developed “human skills” so you can smoothly perform non-technical duties.
- Respect for health and safety protocols: this is more of a requirement than a skill but adherence to policies that aim to eliminate or mitigate risk is a necessity.
- You must also upload your resume and academic transcripts to be considered.
