Graduate Program

Why join Toll?

Toll - where curious minds help shape the future of our logistics industry.

As a Toll Graduate you will be part of a multi-billion dollar business that operates across 50 countries worldwide.

This means they are working within our transport and warehouse environments, learning how our sites operate and what it takes to provide the level of service to our customers that we do.

At Toll, our trucks are part of our business, but we have much, much more. Our operations stretch across different modes of transport that includes planes, ships and helicopters.

From freight forwarding, contract logistics and supply chain solutions, our graduates will gain experience across operations over a two-year program. Graduates can be exposed to continuous improvement, people management, financials, safety and technology while in rotations across operations. For us, it’s about our graduates learning the business from the ground up.

Frequently asked questions

Where could I be based?
Our sites are based across the outer suburbs predominately in Industrial estates. Toll operates across 50 countries and graduates can have international opportunities available during the graduate program. In Victoria, most of these sites are in the North-West.
Why do I need a drivers licence and car?
Quite often there is no public transport where our sites are located, also as many of our sites operate 24/7, graduates are required to be able to travel to and from their allocated site at various times of the day.
What hours could I be working?
You’ve heard the saying “without trucks, Australia stops”. Logistics is a 24 hour business, which means our graduates can work various hours depending on the site they are working at.

Our two year program consists of 3x4 month rotations in the first year and 2 x 6 month rotations in the second year. Graduates are also provided with a full two year development program focused on developing leadership capabilities.

Graduates will rotate across Global Logistics, you could be based at a large FMCG or Retail customer site, Global Forwarding, where you will gain exposure across the end to end business of exports and imports and also Express Services, which includes intermodal and specialised services and express services. These are three of the five core divisions across Toll.
