European Graduate Program

ichooseTechnical

My criteria for a graduate job were pretty straightforward: Competitive compensation, good growth prospects, interesting and challenging work. When I applied for Cargill they shared with me a detailed training plan, which clearly had my personal development at its centre.

Through my first few months I underwent intensive process training covering the operations systems and also the safety systems. This training comprised classroom based learning, as well as ‘in the field’ learning. To consolidate this training I spent two months operating the process on both day and night shifts. In conjunction with this process based learning, I have also been part of the European Graduate Programme. In this, I have been given the opportunity to learn and improve my ‘soft skills’, from teamwork to communication skills. These are modules that aren’t available at university. The European Graduate Programme has given me the chance to travel to many European cities in the past year, including Amsterdam, Mechelen (Belgium), Barcelona and Moscow.

Since I joined Cargill, I have been involved in many different projects for process optimisation and energy reduction such as: Power Factor Correction Unit survey and installation, Site Power Consumption Metering installation, Steam Trap survey and Water Mass Balance.

Through detailed and specific training, challenging projects, responsibilities and a friendly workplace, Cargill has helped me to grow.
