It was essential for me to be part of a company that prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion. There is an abundance of diversity in the workplace at Arqiva which is admirable and has contributed to better decisions.
Moreover, the opportunities for development and career advancement provided by Arqiva are truly invaluable. The graduate scheme has become a valuable platform for honing both my technical and soft skills through engaging workshops and courses.
Arqiva's 'Work Life Smarter' culture resonates well with me, creating an environment where I thrive both personally and professionally.
My job consists of building dashboards that provide valuable business insights to internal customers (such as the Operations department) and external customers (Utilities companies such as Thames Water). It has been exciting to translate complex data into valuable information these stakeholders can read and make data-led decisions. The main tool I use for this is Qlik, a powerful tool for transforming and visualising data, which has been great to learn about as I did not know how to use Qlik before starting.
Outside of work, being on a graduate scheme at Arqiva offers a reminiscent university-like experience. You begin your journey with a group of keen graduates that remain a part of your professional life even after transitioning to post-graduate scheme positions. We often organize social outings and occasional office gatherings.
Throughout the recruitment process, be your authentic self. Read into the job description and determine if the role really fits your interests as you will be doing a lot of learning on the job.
And one more thing... Be curious! Ask questions, be inquisitive - this is a huge part of Arqiva's culture.
