What To Expect:

We offer 3 or 6-month internship placements as an Electrical Engineer. During your internship, you will get a first-hand experience of what a career in P&E with P&G involves, and if it is right for you. You will be working on live business projects and expected to dive straight in and take the lead. Previous Electrical Engineer internship projects have covered topics such as Robot pick-and-place calibration as well as electrical panel design of complex manufacturing equipment.  

Sounds challenging? Don’t worry – we don’t expect you to know how to do this, we can teach you. Each intern receives a customized learning plan to ensure they get the right levels of coaching, mentoring and training as they deliver their work. If you are looking for an exciting and challenging experience, have a passion for winning, strong leadership credentials and an interest in pursuing a career at P&G – this internship is for you!

‍

What You Will Gain:

• Responsibilities and Real Work from Day 1: You will be given specific projects and responsibilities working on real and live business challenges, just like a true P&Ger.
• Continuous training & coaching: You will work with passionate people and receive both formal training as well as day-to-day mentoring from your manager.
• Competitive Compensation & Benefits: The monthly salary for this summer internship is £2,625. On top of this you’ll enjoy lots of benefits like the option to enrol in our pension, flexible working arrangements, and your very own ‘Flex4Me’ Fund which enables you to allocate a portion of your benefits package to the areas that matter most to you.
• Full Time Role: Successful interns have the potential to secure a full-time position with P&G after graduation if available. As a 'build from within' company, our people start at entry level and progress through the organization. When we make a job offer, it’s with the expectation that you will grow into one of our future leaders, and to help you get there, you will work closely with skilled P&G veterans for mentoring and coaching at every step.
