Are you a recent graduate wondering what the next step in your career journey should be? Or perhaps you're already setting out to make a difference in the world, by looking to drive sustainable growth.
At px Group, our graduate roles offer stimulating, challenging opportunities at the leading edge of innovation.
Recent winner of the NEPIC Young Achiever Award 2025, Keaton Hold, demonstrates the opportunities in the business and the benefits of starting in a graduate position.
Keaton joined our Graduate scheme in July 2023 at our Stockton office as Graduate Mechanical Engineer and has since received the benefits of hands-on experience, professional development, networking opportunities and career progression.
One of Keaton’s main achievements was spearheading the comprehensive planning and execution of a critical tank outage and inspection for a 60-year-old Methanol storage tank.
The Methanol storage project was particularly challenging due to the history of the tank and the significant emerging repairs to the tank floor.
Keaton’s responsibilities included: Strategic Planning, Team Coordination involving six different contractors, Risk Management, Resource Allocation, Quality Assurance and Problem-Solving.
The 3-month project not only extended the operational life of the storage tank by 15 years, but also enhanced its mechanical integrity leading to increased safety and reliability, demonstrating my ability to manage complex, high-stake projects effectively.
Keaton has since volunteered multiple times at Egglesliffe school and sixth form college, mentoring the year 7-10 robotics club as part of his STEM Ambassador role. In 2024, Keaton volunteered his time to help the Year 7 students build and code their ‘spike robot’ for the first Lego League competition.
He had the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of students and contribute to their own academic and personal growth and took this opportunity by mentoring the students on a weekly basis to ensure they were ready in time for a competition.
