Placement profiles
Here's a selection of our previous roles to give you an idea of the kind of work you can do on a graduate placement.
Our placements can cover a wide range of sectors, and all types of jobs. Not all are where you’d expect either. So, for example, not every placement in the Oil and Gas Industry will be for engineering skills. There might well be a need for someone with marketing qualifications. Or, a web company might need a person not to write code, but to write an HR policy and put it into action.
To illustrate this, we’ve put together a list of job types, with examples of placements that have been filled in the past.
Also, check out the stories of successful placements that will also give you an idea of what to look forward to.
