Peabody Graduate Program 2027 – Sales, Marketing & Commercial
Kickstart your commercial and international business career with Peabody’s 2026/27 Graduate Program.
For this entry-level position we are seeking graduates completing their degrees in first half of 2026, as well as those who have graduated within the past two years. Our two-year program is based in Peabody’s Brisbane Corporate Office, working with our Seaborne Sales and Marketing team to promote, transport, monetize and maximize returns for our mined products.
You will work in a fast-paced, high-stakes and exciting team environment alongside experienced sales, logistics and finance professionals that will offer formal mentorship.
Throughout the program, you’ll gain exposure to all facets of bulk commodities sales and trading, with training across the full vertical value chain from interactions with Peabody’s Australian & USA mines, to bulk commodity logistics, to international trade finance and eventually to directly servicing and developing our global customer base.
Peabody are offering a unique Australian-based opportunity to learn international commodity trading from the ground-up. If you enjoy working in a challenging, results-orientated environment and you are motivated to accelerate your commercial career in international energy and industrial markets, then this is the opportunity you have been looking for.
