BMD Graduate Programs & Internships

  • Construction & Property Services

BMD is a national group of companies that has grown from a small family-owned business in Brisbane’s bayside to become Australia’s largest privately owned civil contractor. We operate under an integrated and flexible business model focused on construction, urban development, land development and consultation and now have businesses in the Philippines and United Kingdom. 

For 45 years, BMD has maintained our unique family-orientated culture and a philosophy of seeing things differently. What makes BMD different is our value system, unique culture and commitment to all staff. Our business is truly passionate about our people.

Our 18-month Graduate Program, Foundations, has been uniquely designed to bridge the gap between formal education and the workforce, establishing a clear path for the future and accelerated success. As a BMD team member, you will develop skills in problem solving, critical thinking, innovation and team building. 

BMD is on a sharp growth trajectory with over $2 billion worth of work in hand, and as we continue to expand, our Graduate Program participants will support our business in delivering our global project pipeline.

Our Values:

Family

We are proud of our family company heritage. This heritage means we value each individual, we respect and encourage diversity, and we create and promote a sense of belonging.

Empowering

We empower our people to develop the self-belief that will enable them to realise their potential. The resulting flexibility, initiative and responsiveness sustain our business growth and success.

Determined

We persist despite the obstacles. We celebrate effort as well as achievement and we are tenacious in our pursuit of the objective.

Collaborative

We work as a team in the belief that collaborative achievement results in creative relationships of long-term mutual benefit. Our no-blame culture focuses on finding what works best, sharing success and enjoying the experience.

Striving to do better

We aspire to be the best at what we do through fresh thinking, hard work, continual learning and a shared sense of purpose. We take great pride in our achievements.

Recruitment Process

The BMD Graduate Program is the ideal opportunity to test the knowledge acquired during your study in real-world scenarios. As part of our recruitment process, you can expect the following:

  1. Application form: Complete the online application form and submit it with your CV, cover letter and academic transcript.
  2. Shortlisting: If you are shortlisted, our HR team will be in touch for an informal phone interview so you can tell us more about why you want to join BMD, which typically takes around 15 minutes.
  3. Formal interview: Following the phone interview, successful applicants will be invited into a local BMD office for an in-person interview. You can expect to meet a member of the HR team as well as the relevant hiring managers. Interview questions will cover information about yourself, as well as technical content related to the role.
  4. Employment offer: Final shortlisted candidates will be asked to provide reference checks, and if we believe you will be a fit for BMD, we will provide you with a written offer of employment for our 2025 program.
