Aurizon Graduates

Aurizon is Australia’s largest rail freight operator. Every day we move thousands of tonnes of coal, iron ore and other minerals as well as agricultural and general freight around the nation. Aurizon operates and manages the Central Queensland coal network made up of approximately 2,300km of heavyhaul rail infrastructure. We also provide a range of specialist services in rail design, engineering, construction, management and maintenance. Our Redbank Rollingstock Services is one of the largest rail manufacturing and maintenance facilities in the Southern Hemisphere. We also offer large-scale supply chain solutions to a range of customers Australia wide with our fleet of approximately 700 locomotives and 16,000 wagons. Aurizon is playing a critical role in the economic development and growth of the minerals-rich state of Queensland, providing the transport backbone for the establishment and development of some of the key commodity supply chains in the world. Recently we extended our business focus beyond our Queensland heritage and applied our expertise and capabilities to coal and bulk opportunities in New South Wales and Western Australia. We have successfully captured a 30 per cent share of the Hunter Valley coal market since our entry just a few years ago. Our performance and future growth are linked to the key demand drivers of the Australian resources sector. As a result, we are well placed to benefit from the expected growth in demand for coal and iron ore, particularly from emerging Asian economies, including China and India.
