- A market competitive salary
- The chance to fast-track into one of our frontline roles

You’ll need to complete the FMG Graduate Programme application form, and supply a CV and cover letter. The link to do this will be available when applications open in May.
We’ll get back to all applicants within four weeks of the closing date and will let you know then if we want to progress further with your application.
The programme takes between 12 and 18 months and is split into two parts.
- For the first four to six months you’ll be Palmerston North attending orientation, training and learning about our different business units.
- The next six to 12 months is when you become a Trainee Graduate. You could be based at any of our 26 offices nationwide for this.
Once you’ve successfully completed the programme you’ll become a Rural Consultant, Rural Manager, or a Commercial Manager. Your final location will be decided by the role available so it’s important to make sure you’re flexible about re-locating. FMG will of course help with the cost of the move and take your preference into consideration.
