Careers

Join our team

We’re always on the lookout for talented people to join our tight-knit team – from cadets to experienced leaders.

From the very beginning, we’ve been invested in our people. As a family-owned business since 1928, our culture is built on connection, trust and integrity. We look out for one another, form lasting relationships, and work towards shared goals – with our team, our clients, and the communities we work in.

Our people are our greatest asset. That’s why we’re committed to supporting their growth, both personally and professionally. Through career development programs, on-the-job training, and mentoring from senior leadership, we support every team member’s journey. In fact, many of our current leaders began with us through our McCorkell Pathways Program.

We also understand that thriving at work means being supported beyond it. As a family-run business, we value work-life balance and know that life doesn’t stop when work starts. We offer a wide range of benefits, including an Employee Assistance Program, regular social events, volunteering opportunities, and more. We foster a supportive workplace culture that truly cares.

If you’re passionate about construction and ready to grow your career in a place where people come first, we’d love to hear from you.

Kick-start your construction career.

McCORKELL PATHWAYS PROGRAM

At McCorkell, we take pride in developing talent from the ground up. Our Pathways Program offers a structured, hands-on introduction to commercial construction for students and graduates looking to kick-start their careers.

From day one, you’ll gain real-world experience across both site and office environments. You’ll be embedded within project teams, learning directly from experienced professionals who are not only passionate about what they do, but generous in sharing their knowledge.

Our program begins with a one-year cadet phase, where you’ll rotate through four core modules to gain a well-rounded knowledge of the business and discover your strengths. Based on your interests, you’ll then select a specialised career pathway to focus on over the next two years, supported by a clear development framework and mentorship from senior team members.

You’ll work on unique, technically challenging projects across a range of sectors – translating your studies into meaningful, on-the-job learning. Our flexible scheduling supports your university commitments, while quarterly site tours, regular check-ins, and tailored feedback help guide your progress.

By the end of our Pathways Program you’ll be stepping into an intermediate-level role with real responsibility. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge, experience, and support you need to grow into a future leader of our business.

This is more than just a foot in the door – it’s your pathway to a long-term career with one of the industry’s most reputable companies.
