Who should apply for this program?

Have you ever thought about the jobs and work of the future? Are you ready to master cutting-edge technology skills with rapidly growing demands and partnering with a world leading Robotics & Intelligent Automation Services (RiAS) team? If yes, then this is the graduate program for you, and you should apply to explore it further.

What's this program about?

Robotics & Intelligent Automation is a strategic priority for Westpac. At the very core of Robotics & Intelligent Automation we build, maintain, and improve automations in the bank that have material impacts to customer satisfaction. As technology continues to disrupt, we harness these new technologies and combine them into intelligent automations. This allows us to deliver efficiencies by ‘removing the robot out of the human’ and letting our people add value where it really matters. As a result, we offer rotations across all functions in the RiAS team. You’ll experience all that robotics has to offer.

How does it work?

You will join the RiAS team for a 12-month program focused on building your automation skills. Through a carefully designed graduate academy, you’ll rotate through our core functions of design, develop, and run across our full stack of intelligent automation technologies. As a RiAS grad, you’ll be surrounded by buddies, teams, managers, and senior leadership who are invested in your development. Join the growing number of graduates who have successfully completed the RiAS program and are now permanent members of the team. We have a large cohort of peers to share the experience with and regular social opportunities to get involved and network with the wider team.
