THE PERSON

You are currently studying for a degree in Engineering. You are collaborative by nature, interested to learn, self-motivated with a mix of mechanical and electrical knowledge. Ideally you have some interest in a career in Robotics Engineering.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

An Internship with IGS is not only about a project, or a specific goal. It is also about learning in a different environment, starting to understand the business world, and having a glimpse of what it could be like to work in a similar environment. For this reason, we want our Interns to spend time at one of our facilities, collaborating and getting involved. This experience is as important as the project output. There is also a strong social element to the programme. We encourage each cohort of Interns to work together and also to go out and be sociable! There will be a couple of company hosted events that will bring everybody together. We want all our Interns to feel part of something.

We are always looking out for great people. An Internship with IGS will also give you the opportunity to look closely at a potential employer!
