Ten Queenslanders are charging up their careers by starting a graduate, apprentice or trainee position with CS Energy in early 2022.

More than half will be based at Callide Power Station in Central Queensland:

  • Graduate Mechanical Engineer Majella Cassidy
  • Mechanical Apprentices Daniel Ryan and Shanece Blake
  • Electrical and Instrumentation Apprentices Adam Herbert and Noah Chadwick, and
  • Business Administration Trainee Meg Semple.

CEO Andrew Bills said both Qasim and Majella had previously completed summer undergraduate placements with CS Energy.

“It’s great to see Qasim and Majella return to CS Energy and it demonstrates how our summer undergraduate program provides a pipeline of talent for our two year graduate program,” Mr Bills said.

“CS Energy is also proud to provide apprentice and trainee opportunities in trade, technical or administrative disciplines in the regions where we operate.

“The energy industry offers such a diversity of skills opportunities and CS Energy is proud to play our part in developing the next generation.”
