Along the way, you’ll learn from experienced professionals, build in-demand technical skills, and gain hands‑on experience with cutting‑edge technologies.

As part of this journey, you’ll join one of our specialist tracks aligned to your interests:

• Data Engineer: turn data into powerful insights, working with modern analytics tools and cloud platforms to drive smarter, data‑led decisions.
• Software Engineer: bring ideas to life by building scalable, user‑focused applications using modern frameworks and full‑stack technologies.

This is more than just your first job - it’s a chance to grow, innovate, and shape the future of digital solutions, all while accelerating your career in a supportive and dynamic environment.

If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre‑employment checks, including:
Identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service)

This role is based in either Telford or Hove, and you’ll typically be in the office up to 3 days a week, so you’ll need to be within commuting distance of your chosen location. The nature of this role requires you to work on a secure site, if this isn’t a suitable location for you, we encourage you to explore our other graduate opportunities with Capgemini, which are available at various locations across the UK.
