About the company
Keppel is a Singapore-headquartered asset manager and operator with businesses across infrastructure, real estate, connectivity, and fund management and investment. Keppel invests in and operates real assets, including energy and environmental infrastructure and digital infrastructure such as data centres. Keppel also runs investment platforms that raise and manage private capital for institutional partners. The company has been reshaping the portfolio in recent years, including divestments and a stronger focus on asset management.
Locations and presence
Keppel is headquartered in Singapore and operates across multiple countries through its platforms and portfolio companies. Most graduate roles appear office-based (often Singapore-centric), while infrastructure and operations roles can be site-based depending on the business unit.
Palpable Score
68.0
/ 100
Keppel provides clear early-career entry points through a structured internship programme and a two-year Associate Programme, which is a credible pathway for graduates who want commercial exposure. The hiring experience looks reasonably structured but uneven on candidate experience and transparency, based on public interview feedback. Pay appears broadly market-aligned for Singapore business roles, but Keppel does not consistently publish salary ranges or early-career outcome metrics, which caps the score.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

15.5
/ 20
  • The company runs the Keppel Internship Programme as a structured route for undergraduates, with defined eligibility (second year or penultimate year) and a learning-focused positioning.
  • Keppel offers the Keppel Associate Programme as a two-year graduate pathway, which signals recurring intake rather than one-off junior hiring.
  • The company shows early-career routes across multiple platforms and functions (for example, infrastructure and fund management and investment), not only a single corporate track.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

13.0
/ 20
  • The company receives public interview feedback describing multi-round processes (recruiter or HR screen followed by functional interviews) rather than unstructured hiring.
  • Keppel has candidate reports that mention case-style or technical discussions for certain roles, but public guidance on what to expect is limited at role level.
  • The company has mixed signals on efficiency, with some internship processes reported as quick (around two weeks) while other roles describe extra steps that can feel unnecessary.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

14.0
/ 20
  • The company describes the Keppel Associate Programme as supported by mentoring and structured training, which is a concrete learning signal for graduates.
  • Keppel positions internships around business challenges, solution-building, and learning from leaders, which suggests practical project exposure rather than purely administrative work.
  • The company does not publish a consistent, track-by-track curriculum or rotation structure across all early-career roles, so support likely varies by platform and manager.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

13.5
/ 20
  • The company has third-party salary benchmarks available for early-career roles (including management associate and analyst titles), which suggests paid and broadly market-referenced roles.
  • Keppel appears to rely more on market norms than on published pay ranges, which reduces upfront pay clarity for candidates comparing offers.
  • The company’s publicly visible headcount reporting varies by source, and Keppel does not present a single early-career pay framework across geographies, which limits confidence on consistency.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

12.0
/ 20
  • The company offers a defined two-year Associate Programme that is designed to build commercial exposure and networks, which is a credible “pathway outcome” even without published stats.
  • Keppel has public employer-brand signals (for example, “Great Place to Work” communications in parts of the group), but those are not broken out for interns and first-job hires.
  • The company does not publish cohort outcomes such as internship conversion rates, associate-to-leadership progression rates, or early-career retention, which keeps outcomes scoring conservative.
