Mechanical Engineering
The role of Mechanical Engineers varies hugely depending on the environment and location of your department. From dealing with enormous cranes that unload ocean going iron ore ships to intricate hydraulic systems in our rolling mills or even equipment procurement projects and planning of major maintenance. Mechanical Engineers need to be flexible, knowledgeable and highly motivated.
Electrical Engineering
Electrical Engineers are central to our business needs. Corus is a major user of electricity and we need people to deal with those requirements. Whether your skills and interests lie in power distribution, massive drives, process control systems or general electrical systems, Corus has the role for you.
Chemical Engineering
The role of Chemical Engineers can vary hugely depending on the ambitions of the individual. Process engineers and process safety engineering are essential to ensure manufacturing processes, e.g. boilers, furnaces, gas infrastructure, are designed and operated safely and efficiently and are environmentally friendly. Opportunities exist in engineering, design, energy & environment or manufacturing.
Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering graduates can expect a wide range of possible careers – ranging from a structural engineer in our rail consultancy business to a site engineer dealing with a large body of contractors, or even writing specifications for new buildings and structures. You will need strong interpersonal skills as well as technical knowledge and will have full support in developing skills where your interests lie.
Most people recruited into these functions join a works engineering department where their initial responsibility can be to ensure that complex plant and equipment runs to maximum efficiency whilst also maintaining product safety, quality, and concern for the environment. You will join a mixed team that will include engineers, supervisors and technicians and work with the latest equipment. You may also find yourself switching between Engineering and Manufacturing Management as your career progresses.
Ours is a capital intensive industry. You will have involvement in projects from initial design through to procurement, final installation and commissioning. Engineering calls for drive, sound technical ability and the skill to manage people and costs.
We encourage both further technical qualifications and the pursuit of professional status. Corus training is accredited by the IMechE, IEE, IChemE and ICE.
