Summer Internship

What You’ll Be Doing

Get a taste of our Graduate Programmes with this exciting Internship. It may only last the summer, but you’ll pack plenty in. Depending on your interests and area of study, you could be based in either one of our Head Office functions or within our Engineering department, gaining valuable hands-on experience in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

You’ll complete projects, business as usual tasks, and activities that make a real difference to our business - all while working alongside knowledgeable colleagues who’ll guide and support you. It’s a true experience of what it is like to work in a corporate environment.
