Successful candidates will be contributing from Day 1, working on real projects and gaining invaluable work experience to add to your CV and give you practical examples to draw upon for your final year at University.


An internship with INEOS Grangemouth offers first hand exposure to the manufacturing industry and knowledge on the processes involved. Our summer interns get to see how the engineering concepts and principles taught in university are applied to real projects.


You'll be embedded into one of our experienced teams, mentored and developed, learning all about our culture and business as well as about your engineering discipline. And in return, while you're with us, we'll be getting to know you. So when the time comes to apply for a Graduate position, if you choose INEOS, we'll know each other a little better.


Our internships will take place over a 12-week period during summer 2026, so if this opportunity excites you please see the under-graduate requirements below.
