Ignite Mentoring Program

Ignite your passion; 

Ignite your career. 

It all STEMs from you. 

Working at Transurban is different; it’s a place where you can see the benefits of your work play out in real life, every day. We create city-sized solutions—building and operating safer, smarter, and more sustainable roads. 

Ignite is a 4-week unpaid mentoring program, comprised of 25 contact hours, created to empower women studying Technology or Engineering, whilst in their second last year of university. ​By pairing students with our Transurban mentors, we offer career advice, coaching, development opportunities and exposure to a professional career in STEM.  

What does Transurban’s Ignite Program mean for you? 
​You will be mentored by the best in the business - gaining invaluable skills and knowledge, while shadowing like minded individuals. You will be provided with career coaching and make connections that will set you up for future success. ​ 
​ 
And you won't just be stuck in an office all day, either! The program includes what we call ‘Asset Tours', taking you out to see some of our most incredible projects. Experience what it's like to be inside a tunnel, beneath a bridge, or go straight to where all the action happens, inside our Traffic Control Room.​ 
​ 
At Transurban, we love to learn from the great minds around us. We ask questions, share knowledge and test ideas, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.​​
