Finance Graduate - Reading - 2027

We are looking for a Finance Graduate to be based in our Reading office, joining our 2027 Graduate Programme (Autumn 2027 start).

As a Finance Graduate, you will form part of a dynamic and sociable regional team.

In the final year, you'll specialise in one of the rotational areas tailored to your interests and our business needs.

This travel will be reimbursed and is essential to provide you with hands-on learning opportunities and direct interaction with team members., At Stantec, we value your potential over past experience.

• A Collaborator: You'll love to work effectively with lots of different people at different levels, all inputting their part towards a shared goal.
• A Planner: Organising and managing your own activities, dealing effectively with multiple priorities with a structured approach.
• An Adapter: Able to remain calm in new situations, comfortably switching between a variety of dynamic and exciting tasks.

• A Problem-Solver: You'll love to give your thoughts based on what you see, being unafraid to challenge conventional thinking.
• A Striver: Exhibiting ownership, consistently delivering on tasks and objectives. You'll be motivated and proactive in your tasks, having the desire to make a real difference.
