Job Description
Ready to fuel the success of globally renowned brands like Ariel, Bold, and Fairy? Want to work for a company consistently recognised as one of the UK’s leading graduate employers?
Then apply for an industrial placement in Research and Development (R&D) at our Newcastle Innovation Centre and discover the essence behind crafting some of the world's most renowned brands. Delve into a realm where science takes centre stage. Some of the best scientists in the world go to work making our products just right for the billions of consumers who use them. We're talking cutting-edge technology, "hands-on" labs and pilot plants, 41,000+ active patents, and a team full of inventors.
What To Expect:
During your 12-month placement as an Associate Scientist Intern, you will get first-hand experience of what a career in R&D with P&G involves, and if it is right for you. You will immerse yourself in a scientist role, taking ownership and independently leading live R&D projects from day one, working to solve tough technical challenges. This internship is designed for individuals ready to step up, showcasing their leadership capabilities while driving impactful business. Each intern receives a customized learning plan to ensure they get the right levels of coaching, mentoring, and training as they deliver their work. If you are looking for an exciting and challenging experience, have a passion for winning, strong leadership credentials, and an interest in pursuing a career at P&G – this internship is for you!
This role is available in our innovation centre in Newcastle Innovation Centre, which focuses on developing products for Fabric Care and Home Care with brands such as Ariel, Fairy, and Bold.
What You Will Gain:
* Responsibilities and Real Work from Day 1: You will be given specific projects and responsibilities working on real and live business challenges, just like a true P&Ger.
* Continuous training & coaching: You will work with passionate people and receive both formal training as well as day-to-day mentoring from your manager.
* Competitive Compensation & Benefits: This is a paid management internship; the annual salary for this role is £28,000. On top of this, you’ll enjoy lots of benefits like the option to enrol in our pension, discounted P&G products, perks, and flexible working arrangements.
* Full-Time Role: Successful interns have the potential to secure a full-time position with P&G after graduation. As a 'build from within' company, our people start at entry-level and progress through the organization. When we make a job offer, it’s with the expectation that you will grow into one of our future leaders, and to help you get there, you will work closely with skilled P&G veterans for mentoring and coaching at every step.
Job Qualifications
What We Look For:
* University students pursuing an MSc in a scientific or engineering discipline graduating in 2027 with a placement year as part of their degree. We also welcome applications from students graduating in 2025 or 2026 or those who have already graduated.
* Evidence of passion and achievements in academic and/or non-academic activities. Tell us what you’re proud of – be it playing a musical instrument or holding down a job alongside your studies.
* Demonstrated leadership skills and a strong passion for research and innovation.
* Strong verbal and written English language skills.
Right to Work:
For our placement roles, you will need to provide your own right to work in the UK for the full duration of your placement without requiring sponsorship from P&G. Note, this will require your right to work permission to be valid between 1st July 2025 to 27th June 2026 for a minimum of 37.5 hours per week.
P&G is legally required to ensure all candidates have the right to work in the UK from Day 1 of their employment. All applicants will therefore be asked to provide evidence of their right to work at the conclusion of the recruitment process as a condition of employment.
Start date:
The internship's duration is from July 1st, 2025, until June 27th, 2026.
Application Deadline:
January 30th, 2025 – Apply soon to secure your chance, as positions could be filled before the deadline. We may close early if all roles are filled.
