There are good opportunities to progress in the business, especially when in an operational role. I find that where possible, the business tries to upskill and genuinely invest in its employees. From graduate perspective, I have found that the support from the early talent team has been amazing. In addition, the technical guidance I have had from the principal and specialist engineers has been very valuable to by career and learning.
There is lots of secondment opportunities Removal of senior engineer positions removed a promotion opportunity Need to be enrolled in the leadership academy Need to be a technical and people person Need to talk to the right people and be well connected
Our current GM has made it very clear to graduates that there will be roles available for us and that they will work with us to make sure there is somewhere to go on site. There are more difficulties present at other sites, but currently prospects are very good at BSL. I've been given 6 monthly pay rises while in the graduate program, and am in progress getting a contract developed for a permanent engineering role in my team.
Good development opportunities, and the graduate program gives you plenty of tools to ensure you succeed afterwards
This company is big and offers a lot of opportunities due to its size. Career progression is a but stunted as you cannot move up a pay band for at least 2 years after going into a new payband.
