We don't hire engineers, we apprentice them. The distinction matters: an apprentice belongs to the firm, and the firm belongs to its apprentices. Voluntary turnover at Emirates PD is 3.1% — about a tenth of the industry average. — Anna Lundgren, Managing Partner

The Graduate Programme

We receive around 4,000 applications a year for our graduate programme. We make 8 to 12 offers. The programme runs for three years, after which graduates either remain as engineers of the firm or — rarely — are not invited to continue.

Applications open twice a year, in March and September. We do not work with external recruiters. We hire only directly.
