Profiles & diaries
You can read directly from our placements, about the projects they are involved in, the types of training they receive and the responsibilities they have.
Orlagh Costello - Mechanical engineering placement
Started a new placement in July - yes, I finally made it down to the BOS plant. I’m now working in the part of the works where the steel is actually made.
Martin Liddle - Electrical maintenance engineer
Since taking my first substantive appointment at Redcar Coke Ovens, I have now fully settled into the role and my responsibilities have steadily increased allowing me to become more involved in all aspects of the plant.
Rhodri Davis - Metallurgy and process technology placement
Since joining Corus I have experienced ongoing personal development.
Amanda Astrop - Marketing Assistant Placement Student
Having studied in marketing for 2 years on my degree, I was looking forward to a position that would put all the theory I have been learning into practise, which this job advert seemed to do.
Andrew Turton - Product Technologist
I originally came to Corus at the age of 15 to do work experience for two weeks. I have always enjoyed physics and chemistry, and have a logical approach to problem solving, as I like the challenge of finding the reason behind how something works, or indeed fails.
Carla Galloway - Human Resources Placement
I always thought I would get more from a placement in a larger International company as it would give me a chance to meet lots of new people and see many different sides to the business.
Daryl Clayton - Mechanical Engineer Placement
I thought that the interview process was successful as it was relaxed and made you feel comfortable. The company also came across very well in the recruitment process at the University. The opportunities at Corus are one of several reasons why I was attracted to Corus.
David Hardingham - Finance Placement
With Corus’ reputation, and it’s excellent Placement and Graduate opportunities, I applied with the hope that, if I got the placement, it would confirm my decision to further my study of Management Accountancy, and set me on the path of completing my CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) qualification with Corus.
Gemma Masoud - Human Resources Placement
Corus is a large significant organisation within my local area, to gain a position here would allow me to gain exposure to the working practices of a multinational company, who are no doubt at the top of their game, as the 6th largest Steel producer within the world.
Kirsty Pamment - Marketing Assistant
I chose to work for Corus because I wanted to obtain a placement that would enable me to broaden my knowledge and gain a valuable insight into the running of a large company. I believed that working for Corus would give me invaluable experiences and the opportunity to achieve my potential with such a reputable company, which has proven true.
Miranda Blunden - Human Resources Placement
Corus is a reputable company with a strong position within the Times Top 100 Graduate Employers. From research on Corus, I got the impression that they place much emphasis on training and development for each individual employee.
