Develop your Story

We are proud to invest in the next generation by offering industry placements that give you the opportunity to develop your Story. Whether your interests lie in engineering, commercial, business support or beyond, our placements provide meaningful, hands-on experience across a wide range of disciplines.

Our placement opportunities are designed to immerse you in real projects, working alongside experienced members of #TeamStory who are committed to helping you learn, develop and reach your potential. You’ll gain practical experience in a collaborative, supportive environment where everyone plays their part and takes pride in delivering work safely and to a high standard, in line with our commitment to ‘Do it Right!’.

During your time with us, you’ll build valuable skills, grow your confidence and develop a strong understanding of how our business operates. At Story, we believe in creating an inclusive, down-to-earth environment where you are encouraged to contribute, ask questions and be part of the team from day one.

What we're looking for

Many of our placement students choose to return to Story for further experience during their studies, forming strong relationships and continuing their development with us. For those who demonstrate the right attitude and share our values there is the opportunity to progress onto our Graduate Programme once you complete your degree, providing a clear pathway into a long-term career where you can continue to grow and make a real impact.
