Job Description

  • Real geoscience work on active producing fields
  • Build your career working on the subsurface of one of Australia's largest gas businesses

Join a team that's All Kinds of Useful

At Origin, being useful is more than a tagline - it’s how we approach work every day. As a collective, we’re a team that thrives on finding better ways, working together, and owning our impact. From powering homes to delivering award-winning internet and helping to lead Australia’s energy transition. If you’re driven by purpose and excited to be part of something bigger, we’d love to have you on the journey.

About the role:

As a Geology and Geoscience Graduate at Origin, you'll build your career working on the subsurface of a major Australian gas business. From day one, you'll be trusted with real geoscience work on active producing fields, working alongside experienced geologists who know the subsurface intimately.

Beginning in February 2027, you'll embark on a three-year rotational program across our geoscience teams, giving you exposure to the full geoscience workflow, from subsurface mapping and resource assessment through to well planning and ongoing field optimisation. As Origin continues to invest in growing our gas business, you'll be part of the team shaping how we develop and produce from our resource base.

Your work could include interpreting geological and petrophysical data, contributing to subsurface mapping, supporting well proposals, and working with industry-standard subsurface and geological mapping software. You'll spend time in our Brisbane office and on-site at our gas operations, getting real field exposure that's rare at graduate level.

What you will bring

  • We're looking for curious and analytical graduates with degrees in Geoscience or Geology.
  • Ideal candidates will have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, confident communication, and a genuine interest in energy and resources.
  • You'll be eager to build technical capability across subsurface analysis and reservoir characterisation, and comfortable with field work and short-notice site travel.
  • Graduate roles are based in Brisbane, with regular travel to our gas operations.
  • You must hold Australian or New Zealand citizenship or permanent residency (PR) to be eligible for this opportunity and be available to start full-time work in February 2027.

How to prepare

Take a look at Origin's business and where we're investing: our gas operations, exploration and development activity, and the work we do to keep producing reliable energy for Australian households and industry. Understanding how these parts of the business work together will help you shape a stronger application and prepare well for the interview stages.
