Whether you’re coordinating project activity, managing risks and dependencies, supporting project governance or helping deliver essential services, you’ll contribute to meaningful projects across some of the UK’s most exciting industries.

You’ll be trusted with responsibility from day one, working with colleagues and clients to bring structure, momentum and clear communication to complex projects. Your ideas and contributions will help teams overcome challenges and deliver solutions that make a real difference.

• Innovate alongside other graduates: Take part in early careers initiatives that go beyond your day-to-day role.

Every contribution you make will help deliver outcomes with lasting impact.

Locations

Opportunities are available in Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Gloucester, Leeds, London, Manchester, Newcastle and Sheffield. As CGI is a consultancy, you may be required to work in different locations, so flexibility and a willingness to travel are key.

Why Join Us?

At CGI, you’ll be part of a culture that celebrates diversity, inclusion and collaboration, where your perspective is valued and your ideas contribute to meaningful outcomes. Your journey starts with a structured Early Careers Induction Programme, giving you the foundations to succeed, along with 24/7 e-learning and opportunities to gain professional certifications that build your expertise. You’ll also join our Student Kick-start Initiative, where you’ll collaborate with other graduates on creative projects that deliver impact beyond your day-to-day role. CGI is an unconditionally inclusive workplace where you are respected, your voice is heard and you can be yourself. We were recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and named a UK "Best Employer" by the Financial Times.

You’ll share in CGI’s success through our matched share scheme, have access to private healthcare, well-being programmes and professional training, and build financial security with a competitive pension. Beyond the day job, you’ll connect with others through graduate networks, diversity groups and social clubs that make your time at CGI both rewarding and enjoyable.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role:

We’re seeking ambitious graduates who are organised, collaborative and motivated by seeing projects through to successful outcomes. Whatever your degree subject, if you’re ready to learn, take responsibility and help teams deliver meaningful work, we want to hear from you.

• A minimum 2:2 degree (some roles may require a 2:1).
• Strong organisation and planning skills, with the ability to manage priorities and meet deadlines.
• Clear communication skills and confidence working with colleagues and stakeholders.
• A collaborative approach and willingness to take responsibility for your work.

What you can expect from us:

Together, as owners, let’s turn meaningful insights into action.

Life at CGI is rooted in ownership, teamwork, respect and belonging. Here, you’ll reach your full potential because…

You are invited to be an owner from day 1 as we work together to bring our Dream to life. That’s why we call ourselves CGI Partners rather than employees. We benefit from our collective success and actively shape our company’s strategy and direction.

Your work creates value. You’ll develop innovative solutions and build relationships with teammates and clients while accessing global capabilities to scale your ideas, embrace new opportunities, and benefit from expansive industry and technology expertise.

You’ll shape your career by joining a company built to grow and last. You’ll be supported by leaders who care about your health and well-being and provide you with opportunities to deepen your skills and broaden your horizons.

That same commitment to fairness extends to how we use technology. To support our recruitment team, AI tools may be used to help assess applications though they never replace human judgement. All hiring decisions remain entirely in the hands of our recruitment professionals.

Come join our team—one of the largest IT and business consulting services firms in the world.
