Working with CGL, you will get involved in a diverse range of projects and sites than with much larger multinational companies where the focus tends to be on single major projects.  The variety of projects provides a fast-track experience, incredible project variety and involvement with many challenging engineering designs.  All of our engineers are involved in both the technical aspects of their projects as well as project planning and project financial management, with an emphasis on personal development into new skill areas.

CGL offers temporary jobs and internships for students, including:

  • Summer placements
  • Industrial sandwich placements within a first degree, which can use a CGL project in a dissertation
  • Erasmus Programme (European Region Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students)
  • MSc placements using a CGL project for academic study

Temporary experience with CGL gives you an advantage if you later apply for a permanent role.
