Kick start your career!

At Coles, we're proud of the great contribution our talented graduates make every day in our business.

As we undertake one of the biggest business transformations in Australian retail history, we're offering graduates a unique opportunity to be part of our exciting turnaround and gain the experience to become a future Coles leader.

We're after talented graduates, from a range of areas to help us take our performance to the next level - fresh ideas, enthusiasm, motivation and strong leadership are all qualities we're looking for.

Our graduate program has been tailored to give you the best possible start to your career.  You'll be trained and mentored by industry leaders, people in our business who have the depth of experience and insights to share so you can progress rapidly.

We're looking for graduates with a positive attitude and the drive to succeed in a role that offers real responsibility from day one. You will need to work hard and relish a challenge - every day is different and we are constantly challenged to be our best and find new ways to deliver outstanding service to our customers.

Coles is a great Australian company that prides itself on being a fantastic place to work, and I know you'll have a great time on our graduate program.

Good Luck with the application and I hope to meet you soon. 

Ian McLeod
Coles Managing Director

P.S. I started in retail as a graduate myself... if I could get to MD, why couldn't you?
