About Us
We're one of the largest and most successful electrical engineering and electronics organisations in the world. Our technology, products and services touch almost all of our lives in some way every day of the year - from traffic lights and trains to the super-conducting magnets used in medical scanners, the servers at the heart of telecommunication networks and the drives behind many of the UKs manufacturing plants.

Graduate programme
Due to our diversity, we don't just have one graduate programme at Siemens. The majority of our graduate programmes and roles arise in the areas of Engineering, IT, Finance and R&D. Occasionally, though, we do recruit into other functional areas such as Purchasing and Sales.

The majority of our undergraduate placement opportunities have a technical focus such as Engineering and IT. Placements in non-technical areas such as Finance, Sales & Marketing and HR arise occasionally.

Training programme
No matter which part of Siemens you join, one of our priorities is training and development. It's all about the continual development of the individual, making sure you have the right skills to continue innovating and pushing the boundaries in your role.

Training depends on the business you join and the role you're in. Throughout our businesses, we tailor training to the individual.

Typically you'll receive a mixture of on-the-job training and training structured with internal and external courses to give you the relevant industry recognised qualifications where appropriate. We've outlined the wide range of development tools we use here. For specific details, it's worth asking this question as part of the selection process.

Siemens - Business We recruit into a number of business & commercial backgrounds into areas such as General Business, HR, Finance, Project or Operations Management, Customer Account Management and Sales. We are looking for people from a variety of different disciplines such as Business Studies, HR, Finance and Accounting, Project Management, Operations Management, Economics, Human Geography and Sales.

Siemens - Engineering The world is changing - this year, for the first time, more people will live in cities than in the countryside, natural resources are getting scarcer, people are demanding a constant flow of information, living longer and travelling more. Because of this Siemens is concentrating on 3 key areas - Infrastructure, Energy and the Environment & Healthcare Technology We operate in all the following engineering sectors: Automation & Drives; Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution; Metallurgical Services; Transportation; Building Technologies; Broadcasting and Communications; Medical Technologies. We are involved in all aspects of engineering from research, development and design, through manufacturing, to operations and maintenance. So you'll be able to indicate when you apply whether there are any aspects that you are particularly interested in. We are looking for people from most degree backgrounds - especially electrical/electronic, mechanical/mechatronics, manufacturing, systems, chemical/process, materials, software, broadcast or civil engineering. We will often be able to support you to chartered engineer status (if you have an MEng from an accredited university), or incorporated engineer status (if you have a BEng from an accredited university), so please ask for details at the interview stage.

Siemens - IT We use IT to make things better and easier - whether it's knowing where to park, watching Freeview, using your mobile communications devices, seeing what Hawkeye says about that tennis line call, investing in Premium bonds, having an MRI scan. In fact in just about any area of life our IT systems, software and hardware is working in the background.We are involved in all aspects of IT - from consultancy, through research, design and development, to project and infrastructure management - so you'll be able to indicate when you apply whether there are any aspects that you are particularly interested in. We are looking for people from a wide variety of IT, Computer Science, Business Information Systems, Physics, Maths and related backgrounds.

Locations
Siemens has manufacturing locations and offices all over the UK, with major sites from Aberdeen to Poole. Graduate and undergraduate vacancies could be at any of our sites.

For a few but not all of the graduate roles or programmes you'll be required to be based in different locations and therefore geographical flexibility is called for. You could either be based at different customer sites or different offices of the Siemens business you're in.

Graduate orientation
We know it can be hard leaving university life and settling into the working world! We're also aware that as Siemens is so diverse it can be difficult at first to get your head around what we do and where you fit in! This is why we run our UK-wide Graduate Orientation Event soon after you start. By attending, we hope to give you a greater insight into the overall organisation you've joined and make you feel part of the wider Siemens community.

No matter which part of Siemens you join, this event will complement the induction you'll receive from your local Siemens business.

Main benefits of attending:

• Networking - you'll meet and network with all other new graduates across Siemens who are also under-going the same 'settling in' experience.
• Learn about the wider Siemens - you'll gain an invaluable insight into the diverse range of projects, customers and industries Siemens is involved with.

  This will benefit you generally and also, for example, when working on projects with other parts of the organization or when dealing with customers, who often expect employees to be able to answer general questions about Siemens in the UK.

• Learn about yourself and others - you'll take part in team working and career planning activities to help you find out useful things about yourself and others.
• Meet our Chief Executive - you'll get to hear first-hand from Alan Wood about everything from how we've grown as an organization since our founder first established the company in the UK over 160 years ago to our business objectives for the future. There will be plenty of time for questions too!
