Life. You want a challenge. Excitement. And kicking off your career wouldn’t be too bad either. At CGI, we’re building a brand-new generation that provides all this and more. Providing IT career opportunities that give you the chance to make a real impact on the world. And you could be our next generation of leaders and tech experts.
The role – Technical Industrial Placement
With a digital revolution taking place in the UK, our work is at the heart of it. Every day, our members come to work knowing they are making a real difference. There is never a dull day at CGI!
Our Placements play a big part in our solutions and work on some of our biggest projects in roles such as testing & development.
You’ll find opportunities across various industries, roles, and locations. While you may start in one area of the business, the opportunity to move internally is huge, so you can grow your career, in the direction you want.
Your future duties and responsibilities
Develop and stand out from the crowd
You'll be part of a unique culture that allows you the freedom to innovate, to make decisions, and to achieve your full potential.
With support from a buddy and managers, you’ll have the opportunity to obtain professional qualifications and 24/7 access to e-learning. Starting on our ‘Early Careers Induction’ programme, you’ll also have recruitment and learning and development teams there to support you during your first couple of years. And you will be part of our large early careers community with opportunities to work on different Initiatives and exciting projects alongside your day-to-day work.
It’s not just study and work either. There’s also a fantastic social side to CGI. Our early career's communities make life exciting through lots of social events and activities. There are plenty of chances to relax and enjoy yourself with like-minded members from across CGI.
Locations
We recruit industrial placements into various locations across the UK. For this role our current Technical Industrial Placement opportunities will be based in our Northern Ireland office.
As CGI is a consultancy, your projects could also require you to work in other locations aside from your main base, so you should be prepared for travel in your role. Each business unit operates from a different range of offices so think about how flexible you can be!
Required qualifications to be successful in this role
You need a genuine interest and passion for technology. Technical Industrial Placements are usually studying for a computer science or STEM related degree but we welcome people from all degree backgrounds as long as you have an applied interest in the industry.
Depending on which business unit you would like to join, we will consider students on track to achieve a minimum 2:2. (Some projects seek graduates with a minimum 2:1.)
Due to the security clearance requirements of some of our work, certain roles and projects do require early careers members to be UK nationals.
Together, as owners, let’s turn meaningful insights into action
Life at CGI is rooted in ownership, teamwork, respect and belonging. Here, you’ll reach your full potential because…
You are invited to be an owner from day 1 as we work together to bring our Dream to life. That’s why we call ourselves CGI Partners rather than employees. We benefit from our collective success and actively shape our company’s strategy and direction.
Your work creates value. You’ll develop innovative solutions and build relationships with teammates and clients while accessing global capabilities to scale your ideas, embrace new opportunities, and benefit from expansive industry and technology expertise.
You’ll shape your career by joining a company built to grow and last. You’ll be supported by leaders who care about your health and well-being and provide you with opportunities to deepen your skills and broaden your horizons.
Come join our team—one of the largest IT and business consulting services firms in the world.
