Enjoy a graduate programme that gets the balance between upskilling, network building and project exposure just right. We put you in the position to take ownership of your career path — but provide expert guidance and mentoring all the way.
Joining a group of Siemens engineering and business graduates generates the kind of excitement you only get when you’re onto something special. Over two stimulating years, you’ll weigh up your opportunities as you explore our business and look to your mentors for inspiration. Most importantly, we’ll advance your skills to a professional level and give you the ability to choose your own career path.
People choose different careers for very different reasons. For some, it's money. Others, it's doing work that will change the world. Then, there are those who just want somewhere to fit in. You know what we think? Any career worth your time should offer all this and more.
What makes our graduate programmes worth two years of your career? The professional attributes you'll acquire are worth it alone. As a graduate, you'll take part in our Graduate Development Programme (GDP) — a solid programme of modules we've designed to enhance your core and soft skills. We'll also provide world-class mentoring and useful networking opportunities throughout, to aid your personal and professional development.
Master the fundamentals of project management through learning sessions and case study exercises.
Take ownership of your career by identifying your key strengths, development needs and motivations.
Become an effective team player by understanding the key attributes to working well in a group.
Influence the people you work with by developing your planning, organisational and communication skills.
Learn the principles of effective customer communication so you can better meet their needs.
Hear from Anika, one of our graduates, as she discusses just how valuable the Graduate Development Programme has been for her own personal development and professional career.
The ideal person will be studying towards a relevant degree, usually in an engineering- or business-related subject. If you think you're suitable, complete our online application. After that, our process looks at your overall skills and personality. Just be yourself, ask questions and be prepared.
Your journey starts with your application. However, we won't review your CV at this stage, as we believe skills can be developed and potential can be nurtured.
We are not so focused on what you have done — we care most about who you are and what potential you can bring.
If you meet our minimal requirements, you will be invited to complete an online assessment.
This inclusive approach allows us to assess if you align with our core values and demonstrate the potential we're looking for. This gives all candidates a fair chance regardless of their background.
At Siemens, technology plays a big part in how we transform the everyday.
You may be asked to complete an on-demand video interview where you'll record yourself answering some pre-defined questions.
The final stage is an in-person assessment centre or interview. It’s designed to get to know you more, and introduce you to Siemens.
From a personal development perspective, Siemens offers me everything I need and more. My mentor supports me towards chartership but over and above, I feel my skills are invested in as an engineer, a business person and a human being. Siemens has given me a deep insight into who I am and how I work. I understand my strengths — but I know my weaknesses too. This directs my focus so I can be the best I can be.
