You might not have heard about us, but as one of the leading IT names in the business we’ve got some outstanding and rewarding career opportunities right here for you.
We’re looking for the UK’s most driven and passionate people. If you like the sound of helping to drive some really exciting IT projects such as securing Europe’s major satellites and winning multi-million pound contracts, then CGI is for you.
So what type of role could you be doing? We’ve got opportunities across the business in a range of roles so there are plenty of options to choose from. Many of our senior leadership team began their CGI story as graduates so you can be guaranteed that we’ll provide you with the right career support, building you a career from the start. We don’t call our employees ‘employees’ either, at CGI you’ll be known as a member.
In fact, we place so much emphasis on our members that we encourage them all to become part of our future success story through our share purchase plan, matching their contributions by up to 3% of their salary.
If you’re at uni and looking for a placement, or you’ve just graduated, we want to talk to you. Backed up by serious training in a fantastically supportive environment, our graduate opportunities give you the chance to work on some of the biggest, most exciting and challenging IT projects across an extensive range of sectors, so why not be part of it?
We’re proud of what we do and you can help us make a difference by joining us as either a technical or business graduate/placement student. Our technical roles are ideal if you want to start a career in a software development, testing, application management, architecture or cyber security role. Our business roles are ideal if you want to start your career in roles such as business analyst, project management or service delivery management. We recruit graduates and placement students into a variety of business areas such as Cyber Security, Energy and Utilities, and the Defence and Public Sector, meaning you can get real-world experience with real clients.
How’s your degree going? Is it time to take it up a level? If you’re looking to make sure you stand out from the rest after you graduate, we want to talk to you about our exciting placement programme.
You’ve studied hard and now it’s time to put those skills to work. Through your 12-month industrial placement with us, you’ll certainly get the opportunity to do just that. This is the best way to give you the competitive edge over your fellow students and not only that, you could also be offered a permanent role with CGI after you graduate.
If you’re wondering what type of roles are available, most are technical roles. Many graduates join us as developers or testers, however we also have opportunities for business roles. One thing that’s for sure, you can be guaranteed that your work will make a real difference regardless of the role or area of business.

“It is really exciting to be in my role at the moment, particularly because I am in the Automation Support Team. This team has an emphasis on automating some manual processes within a testing environment. With AI and automatic services growing in popularity within the industry and in society as a whole, it feels like I am part of something that will make a real difference in the future.”
