Information Technology Industrial Placement 2027

Job Description

Do you aspire to be part of the innovation and technological advancement of a business behind brands like Gillette, Pampers, Head & Shoulders and Oral-B? Want to work for a company consistently recognised as one of the UK’s leading graduate employers?

Then apply for an industrial placement in Information Technology (IT) at P&G, where business, innovation and technology come together to create a competitive advantage.

IT underpins every area of our competitive advantage and every stage of the journey to develop, manufacture, market and ship market-leading products. A career in IT at P&G will allow you to build meaningful technical skills at the same time as developing crucial business non-technical skills in leadership, communication, influencing and change management.

What To Expect: 

During your industrial placement, you will get real responsibility from Day1 and be expected to dive straight in, take ownership of real projects and lead them to completion. You will see your projects deliver real business value, and you will see growth in your own technical mastery, confidence, communication and leadership skills.  You will also receive first-hand experience of what a career in IT within a large corporate environment like P&G involves and find out if it is right for you. 

Key Accountabilities:

• Collaborate directly with business stakeholders to identify, understand, and define high-impact opportunities for the application of technology.
• Architect and build intelligent production solutions to identified opportunities utilising the optimal data engineering toolset; with a focus on Agentic AI.

Each intern receives a customised learning plan to ensure they get the right levels of coaching, mentoring and training as they deliver their work.

So, if you are looking for an exciting and challenging experience, have a passion for winning, strong IT skills, leadership credentials and an interest in pursuing a career at P&G – this placement is for you!

Placements are available in our offices in Newcastle (Longbenton) and Weybridge (Surrey) (an easy commute from London with regular trains from Waterloo & Clapham Junction). A limited number of placements may also be available in Manufacturing sites, typically our London Plant (West Thurrock, Essex) 

Job Qualifications

What We Look For:

• You are studying for or already have a Bachelor or Master Degree in a quantitative field (Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Math, Statistics, Analytics etc.).
• You have an experimental, iterative approach and are excited by the challenge of pioneering new solutions in ambiguous environments. A deep curiosity for autonomous AI and its practical application would be particularly useful.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a proven ability to partner with non-technical stakeholders, understand business challenges, and translate them into technical requirements.
• A proactive, self-motivated attitude with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. 
• Fluency in English (written and oral).

What You Will Gain

• Responsibilities and Real Work from Day 1: You will be given specific projects and responsibilities working on real and live business challenges, just like a true P&Ger
• Continuous Training & Coaching: You will work with passionate people and receive both formal training and day-to-day mentoring from your manager. You will also have a Coach and a “Buddy” assigned to support you for the duration of the internship. 
• Competitive Compensation & Benefits: This is a paid internship; the annual salary for this role is £31,500. On top of this, you’ll enjoy lots of benefits like the option to enrol in our pension, perks and flexible working arrangements, and your very own ‘Flex4Me’ Fund which enables you to allocate a portion of your benefits package to the areas that matter most to you. 
• Full Time Role: Successful interns have the potential to secure a full-time IT management position with P&G after graduation. As a 'build from within' company, our people start at entry level and progress through the organization. When we make a job offer, it’s with the expectation that you will grow into one of our future leaders, and to help you get there, you will work closely with skilled P&G veterans for mentoring and coaching at every step.

Start Date

The 12-month industrial placement is available from 5th July 2027 until 13th June 2028. We expect you to be available for the full duration. 

Application Process: 

• Complete your Application
• Complete our Online Assessments
• Virtual Interviews

As part of our application process, your virtual interviews will be conducted by managers working in the business you have applied for who are committed to finding the next generation of talent here at P&G!

We encourage you to apply and complete our online assessments as soon as possible, as we may close early if positions are filled. 

Right to work:

For our placement roles, you will need to provide your own right to work in the UK for the full duration of your placement without requiring sponsorship from P&G. Note, this will require your right to work permission to be valid between 5th July 2027 until 13th June 2028 for a minimum of 37.5 hours per week. 

P&G is legally required to ensure all candidates have the right to work in the UK from Day 1 of their employment. All applicants will therefore be asked to provide evidence of their right to work at the conclusion of the recruitment process as a condition of employment. 

At P&G #weseeequal 

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. At P&G we strive to build a culture where everyone feels welcome, included, and able to bring their full selves to work. 

We champion social mobility and believe socio-economic status should not be a barrier to accessing job opportunities. That’s why in addition to this internship being paid, we offer provision of all the necessary technology and electronic equipment, access to a range of benefits, and financial support if you need to relocate for your internship - such as covering the cost of travel to your internship location.
