New grads

Our New Grad Program aims to develop employees at the beginning of their careers by recruiting grads from multiple disciplines, exposing them to cross-functional experience and mentorship across our business, building a breadth of development and business acumen in the future leaders and technical experts of Cenovus. We recruit new grads from multiple disciplines, including engineering, geosciences, business, IT, finance and accounting, as well as a new program for trades apprentices (i.e. industrial mechanics, instrumentation technicians).
