Our people don’t just work in heavy industry. They’re changing it.

Fortescue has always been built on people who move fast, solve hard problems and refuse to accept that things have to stay the way they are. 

That same instinct is what’s driving Real Zero. The engineers commissioning solar farms. The operators running autonomous fleets. The electricians maintaining battery systems that didn’t exist five years ago. 

This isn’t a workforce adapting to change. It’s a workforce leading it.

We grow our own

We’re investing in our people at every level and every stage of their career, building capability from the ground up and creating pathways that didn’t exist before.

    Start here. Go anywhere.

    Our apprenticeship and traineeship programs give people hands-on experience in the skills that are shaping the future of mining - from electrical systems and renewable energy to autonomous operations and advanced maintenance.

  • Cloudbreak site infrastructure

    Bring your skills. Build something bigger.

    Our graduate programs place people at the centre of Real Zero - working on live projects, alongside experienced teams, on the technology and systems that are redefining what heavy industry looks like.

    Learning by doing, at industrial scale.

    The best training happens in the field. Our people develop new skills by working directly on the systems behind the Green Grid - from solar and battery infrastructure to electrified fleets and AI-driven operations. Experience that can’t be taught in a classroom.

  • The transition belongs to everyone.

    We’re actively widening access to careers in the energy transition for women, young Australians and First Nations people. Building a workforce that reflects the communities we operate in, and creating long-term opportunity in the regions that matter most to us.

The energy transition only moves as fast as the people who build it.

We’re not waiting to find that workforce somewhere else. We’re building it here, with the people already wearing Fortescue colours, and with the next generation coming through our doors. 

Be part of what's next

We’re building the workforce that will deliver Real Zero and we’re looking for people who want to be part of it.
