How to apply to the graduate scheme

Check the employer’s careers site for the current process, then prepare a focused CV and application that connects your experience, projects or studies with infrastructure operations, process improvement, automation, incident management and collaboration.

As a typical UK application process, you may first complete an online application, followed by an initial review or screening conversation. Employers may then use an assessment, technical or competency interview and a final interview, although the actual stages can differ, so rely on the current advert and careers site for the role’s requirements.
