Testimonials From Our Current Graduates
“The WG&S graduate scheme has been a fantastic opportunity to get involved in a variety of exciting engineering projects at Dufftown. Working at Dufftown has helped me to grow and develop the core engineering skills I learned at university.”
“I have only been part of WG&S for a couple of months but so far, I’m totally loving my role. I feel like the company has allowed me to transition from university into the workplace very smoothly – my team and leaders have allowed me to proceed totally at my own pace and everyone has been open to answering the numerous questions I’ve undoubtedly had. It may be more applicable to my role in technical, but I have already been exposed to many different areas of the Girvan site from the lab to pilot scale to full scale production areas. Additionally, I am hoping to fit in some visits to other sites soon. I’ve only had one graduate specific training day to date, however, have found the other graduates both on the programme and who have previously been on the programme and are now in full time jobs to be a great help. They provide an excellent support network for incoming graduates and are more than happy to help in any way they are able. This is a great aspect of the small, tightknit nature of the WG&S graduate programme.”
