Future Leaders! Open up a world of opportunities and apply for the Spirax Group Global Graduate Leadership Development Programme.  

We offer meaningful Leadership careers within market leading Commercial & Manufacturing functions.

Over the two-year rotational programme, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in three key areas of our FTSE 100 global engineering Group; Manufacturing, Commercial Sales and Business.  One of these placements will be fully funded, in a country of your choice! Whilst undertaking challenging ‘real life’ roles and projects with purpose, you will be fully supported and developed into a leader of the future. 

Incredible opportunities for STEM & Business degree graduates

At Spirax Group, we are engineering a more efficient, safer and sustainable world.  Our One Planet, Engineering with Purpose Sustainability strategy is committed to developing innovative, sustainable technologies and solutions for our customers whilst benefiting the communities around us.  We have some incredible career opportunities for committed STEM & Business graduates to join our Global Graduate Leadership Development Programme; if you’re driven and curious, you’re in the right place!  We have operations in 66 countries including the UK, China, Germany, Argentina and the USA which you will have the incredible opportunity to discover for yourself.

You choose your own path

With a focus on developing you into a leader in either a Commercial or Manufacturing function, you will be given some amazing opportunities to explore a huge variety of industries and business areas.  Your fully funded, 6 month international placement will you give the chance to see another part of the world, immersing yourself in their culture, exploring another business area and collaborating with colleagues from across the world.
You can get involved with our sustainability initiatives, from achieving net zero in 2030 to delivering a biodiversity net gain and creating even more sustainable products and solutions.  With three days paid volunteering leave every year you can also help make a vital difference in your local community.
Supported by a dedicated Early Careers team, knowledgeable managers, a senior mentor and our graduate alumni, you’ll quickly find your strengths and an area of the business to match them once you’ve completed the programme.
