What attracted you to apply to Viva Energy?
Viva Energy's diverse specialisations from fuel, retail to commercial operations offers a bright future prospect to grow within the business. As a fresh graduate with a distinct major, these upcoming years are critical in not only allowing myself to fully immerse in the property field but also to broaden my knowledge in other areas to gain valuable work experience and equip me for the future. Furthermore, I have always wanted to be a part of something bigger. It’s a thriving, dynamic industry with endless opportunities, especially in sustainable alternatives, which is something I feel proud taking part in and I can't wait for what the future holds and how we can shape it!
What do you love about your work?
The different aspects and variables to property is what makes it exciting and interesting every day. There is never a day where I don't learn something new. It is a fast-paced changing industry with information coming in that can affect our everyday operations from exchange rates down to our consumer engagement.
Another favourite would be the nature of the job. I get to interact with a diverse range of staff across the business, outside and visit sites and learn how they work. It is fascinating to see how our work comes to life helping millions of Australians to get to their destinations everyday.
How has the graduate program supported you in launching your career?
The graduate program is well-led, established and supported with opportunities to learn and grow in a safe environment. It’s structured around the graduates and our needs with transitioning sessions, and one-on-one meetings with our line managers, HR, mentors and with each other. The extensive support network means we gain valuable perspectives on how we can navigate through our career trajectory with insightful real-life experiences and advice. Furthermore, the rotations allows us to experience different parts of our organisation, developing our expertise whilst also discovering what we enjoy in the working world. I believe the graduate program will set myself up for success in my career.
