IY at Experian in Nottingham

Posted on by

Alex Stuart, an ACS graduate says:

A placeholder of sorts, but we’ve just received funding to take on an industrial year student next academic year (16-17 term) in our Enterprise System Management team at Experian. The ESM team focus on system monitoring, process automation, and IT service systems.

The role will require programming skills (I am still awaiting to hear which particular languages, as my experience with the department is coding in REXX, mainframe specific!). The potentially successful candidate would also have the chance to work with popular enterprise technologies like Splunk and CA service desk.

The infrastructure you would be supporting would be cutting edge, for one of the leading information services companies in the world.

The role would be based in Nottingham, and I will hopefully have more details for you all ASAP!

IYs in Munich, Germany for Caterva

Posted on by

Want an IY in Munich, Germany? We have been sent an email from Caterva:

I am writing on behalf of Caterva who have one-year placement opportunities for Bachelors & Masters Students in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Electronic Engineering at Caterva Munich.

Caterva GmbH is a high-tech company creating new solutions for distributed energy storage, and is pioneering a new model of grid stabilisation. It is well-funded, run by experts in the field who have previous success in renewable energy start-ups, and is offering four 13 month internship opportunities at its headquarters in Munich starting July 2016. The placements reflect the spectrum of Caterva’s development activities: web & mobile interface development, C++ software development for communications, power electronics hardware design and test, and data acquisition and database development.

These are not placements that will suit all Students. Being a start-up, the environment is challenging. Initiative and independent working are key, and expectations will be high. Entrepreneurial Students, the ones with wild ideas who may already be saying “I am going start my own business” are the most likely to thrive!

Excellent salaries and working conditions are on offer.

There are students on current placements and they will overlap with the new Students to give them help to get started and then excellent handover training.
