Live a Career Less Ordinary

A career as a Swire Management Trainee means gaining exposure to international styles of management and overseas secondment opportunities. You will gain early responsibility with the support and mentorship of a senior employee. With opportunities for growth throughout your career, you will bring a passion for continuous learning, and exploration to the Swire of today, and future generations of Swire Management Trainees .

Meet with our people at the recruitment talks and discover more about our diverse business. We will share about our comprehensive, highly structured programme that blends on-the-job experience with formal training and management courses.

Join Swire Management Trainee Programme

Choose the best programme for you to begin your development journey that involves on-the-job learning, workshops and group projects to challenge you – everything you need to develop into a future leader. When you join us, we will support you every step of the way.

Group Staff Programme

This three-year training programme sees you develop the crucial skills to pave the way for a successful career. During this programme you could be posted in any one of our divisions such as Property, Aviation, Beverages & Food Chain or Trading & Industrial. Training will take place primarily in Hong Kong, Mainland China and other regions where you’ll step outside your comfort zone and take on early responsibility. You’ll be working with some of the brightest minds in the business. This programme will accelerate your professional development and you’ll have the opportunity to make an impact wherever you’re posted.

House Staff Programme

The defining feature of this programme is simple – global mobility. We do business all over the world and our Management Trainees are required to work wherever they're needed and are often seconded at a moment's notice. You could find yourself on assignment in any one of our divisions for 1-2 years but as the House Staff Trainees become more senior, these assignments tend to last 2-3 years, becoming progressively longer the more senior the position. You'll learn to cope with unexpected challenges in unfamiliar surroundings, gain exposure to an extraordinary range of business areas, and build a long-term but highly diverse career in general management.
