Each year, our manufacturing business in Port Kembla NSW offers amazing opportunities for highly motivated students to join the team at BlueScope as Engineering Cadets!
With a combination of part-time study and work, you'll be provided one day per week to attend university classes. Cadetships enable you to rotate through various departments, so that you gain a good appreciation of the entire steel-making process.
As an Electrical Cadet, you'll have the opportunity to work with electrical and automation technologies and processes across the entire plant, all of which play a critical role in steel manufacturing.
As a Materials Cadet, you'll study the amazing structure and properties of materials and their economic application, along with applying the relevant fields of physics, chemistry and mathematics to the real world.
As a Mechanical Cadet, you'll rotate through various departments along the process from smelting the ore, conversion to liquid iron and steel and then forming the raw steel into a finished product.
