Internships at Siemens

For a 12 month internship, the ideal candidate would be someone studying towards a degree and looking to complete a placement year. However we do offer shorter placements too.

Yes, we’re an A-rated sponsor under Tier 2 of the UK Immigration Points Based System (PBS). In the UK, we hire people based on merit and accept applications from both European Economic Area (EEA) and non-European Economic Area students. However you must have (or be able to obtain) the right to work in the UK.

Yes of course, although you may be better suited to a graduate role at Siemens. Please take a look at the UK Graduate Development Programme before making a decision.

When you submitted your application, you should have received an email from us acknowledging your application. We normally review applications once the closing date has passed, however if a role is advertised for an immediate start you may hear from us sooner.

We’ve found that online testing is a good, objective indicator of how successful graduates will be when they join. Our online system allows you to complete the tests in your own time and in a convenient place.

Unfortunately not. Candidates will only be given one opportunity (per academic year) to complete the test. However once you’ve passed it, you won’t be required to retake it for any further applications made that year. Just let your recruiter know this when applying.

Because of the high volume of applications we receive, it’s not possible to supply feedback at application and testing stages. However, if you’ve attended an assessment centre or interview and you would like feedback, we’ll happily provide it.

Yes. You’ll get reasonable expenditure reimbursed. If in doubt, check the details with us before you incur any costs.

Please let us know if you need us to adjust our processes – we will make every effort to accommodate your needs.

Simply log into the Siemens careers page and update your profile. Your details will then be updated and saved.

Absolutely. Please visit the Employee Referral Programme intranet site before your friend applies online.

Your recruiter will provide you with email updates throughout the recruitment process, so if you have any specific queries regarding your application, please contact them.

We recruit predominantly year-long industry placements, with a smaller amount of summer internships. We have a wide variety of internships available, across Engineering, Business, IT, Finance, HR and Communications.

We have a number of key sites across the UK including: Ashby, Congleton, Chippenham, The Crystal (London), Frimley, Hull, Lincoln, Manchester, Newcastle, Northampton, Oxford, Poole, Stoke Poges and Warwick.

A games-based assessment is a method of assessing a candidates behaviours and traits, as well as ability, in a more fun and engaging way. They directly gather observable evidence of behaviours and traits that have previously been impossible to measure (in traditional numerical and verbal reasoning testing) - and most importantly, you have more fun doing them! 

There isn't any way you can particuarly prepare for the assessment, but just make sure you're in a suitable environment where you won't be interrupted!

A strengths based interview is a way of interviewing that focuses on what you interests you as a person, which is then assessed against the core strengths that have been identified in the Siemens Entry Level Talent (ELT) top performers. This allows us to focus more on your potential and what energises you, rather than your past experiences. 

To help you prepare, it might be useful to think of what tasks/activities you've particularly enjoyed, and think overall about what you enjoy/what interests & energises you and what you like/dislike etc.
