Graduate Program Engineering (start april 2023)

Tata Steel wants to be a CO2-neutral steel producer in 2050. Based on that ambition, we are working towards being a leading steel company that is sustainable in every respect. We want to continuously improve the way we produce steel, and we need you to help us! 

What will you be doing?

The Graduate Program Engineering lasts 2 years. Throughout this period, you will gain insight into the investment projects and engineering challenges in our company and how we plan to produce steel more sustainably. There is also a great deal of focus on personal development training. During the program, you will be given more and more responsibility and follow training courses to master your engineering and project-related skills.

In the Projects & Technical Consultancy (PTC) department, we are responsible for all projects on the Tata Steel IJmuiden site. This includes making steel with hydrogen, implementing the latest casting machines (CCM23) and the revamp of Hoogoven 6. So, do you want to make a real impact and be present at the start of all investment, maintenance and sustainability projects? In that case, we are looking for you!

To guarantee the steepest possible learning curve, during your graduate program you will work in 3 departments and change position 3 times. The program will be tailored to you. Together, we will explore your interests and development potential. We have specific projects, but we also expect you to highlight possible improvements. To implement these improvements, you will sit at the table with various parties: from PTC colleagues to senior managers from our plants. 

What makes this graduate program unique?

• You will be working on many different projects in which you can make a real difference.

• You will directly apply your technical and engineering knowledge in practice.

• Together with your graduate group, you will follow a unique training/development program consisting of internal and external training courses aimed at personal and professional development. 

• You are in the driver's seat - by showing initiative, you can ensure your optimal ongoing personal development.

• You will be given the opportunity to sit at the table with managers to present your ideas. 

• You will be given a great deal of responsibility as well as support.

During the graduate program, you will be given the chance in various roles to be part of increasingly large and more complex projects, focused on more sustainable production, product development, performance improvement and technical innovation. You can make an impact by helping to reduce our CO2 emissions, reducing noise nuisance and improving the performance of our plants. Do you want to be part of the change?

Do you recognise yourself in this?

• You want to bring about change.

• You are inquisitive and looking for a challenge.

• You are continuously searching for ways to develop yourself personally and professionally.

• You love engineering, and you can effectively translate your knowledge into the practical situation.

• You have powers of persuasion, and a good command of Dutch and English.

• You have completed a relevant technical European bachelor's degree and a master's degree at a Dutch university.

What do we offer you?

Fair is fair. In our graduate program, we ask a lot of you, but you get a lot in return:

• Being part of the project organisation of Tata Steel and thus being present at the start of all the ongoing improvement projects. 

• On-the-job coaching and professional training (e.g. Prince II).

• Internal and external training courses aimed at personal and professional development (e.g. constructive management of opposition).

• Coaching by a mentor from senior management.

• A fun, enthusiastic group, with whom you will form a real team and share experiences.

• A good starting salary of EUR3,720 per month.

• A lot of free time - 28 days' leave, 11.5 ADV (reduction in working hours) days and the possibility to accrue flex hours.

• The possibility to work from home (incl working from home set).

• Within two years, you will be prepared for the next step in your career within PTC or Tata Steel.

• You can join 'the Magnet' - our own internal organisation for young employees.

What will be your working environment?

The Projects & Technical Consultancy (PTC) department is the internal project and technical consultancy of Tata Steel in IJmuiden. We deliver services for the implementation and continuous improvement of the production plants of Tata Steel IJmuiden. As part of Engineering & Site Services, we are the proactive and professional supplier of project management and engineering services based on specific process installation and professional knowledge. 

PTC is organised in various groups, each with their own specialist field of knowledge. All the projects we work on are multidisciplinary. This also means that you work closely with all the disciplines as well as with the various factories. We don't need to always agree on the route we will take to achieve the best results. However, we are all united by our desire to get the best results for Tata Steel. The loyalty towards Tata Steel and the site in IJmuiden is something that makes us truly unique. 

Your group
Together with your graduate group, you will start work on 1 April 2023. You will all start in different departments and/or in different teams, but will do the training courses together, often meeting up in graduate consultations and peer-to-peer reviews. Because you rotate through different departments, you will soon meet lots of new colleagues.
