FirstGroup today, opportunity tomorrow

Last year, two billion people started journeys with us all over the UK, whether that was to visit family and friends or to get to work and school. Keeping people moving is at the heart of our operation – that’s why our graduate roles are about more than just sitting at a desk. We want to give you hands-on experience, the stuff that will actually help you succeed. We’ll provide the development, mentorship and support needed for you to thrive in whatever direction your career takes you.

You’ll join our business, operations or engineering functions, working within either our Group, Bus or Rail divisions depending on your skills and interest. Our opportunities are incredibly diverse, with different expertise, geography and customers across the board, but our values always remain the same. And of course, it’s all about preparing you for the future.

How to apply

Our graduate recruitment process has five key stages. We’ll update you on the progress of your application by email, so make sure you keep an eye on your inbox.

Stage 2 - Online Tests

The next stage is a succession of online tests, which might include questions to assess your verbal, numerical or intuitive reasoning skills. You’ll usually have a week to complete them.

Stage 4 - Assessment

Following a successful interview, we’ll invite you to an Assessment Centre in Spring. These are held at various locations – you’ll get all the information you need closer to the time. This is your chance to show off your strengths as you complete a set of tasks and activities.

Disability Inclusion

If you consider yourself to have a disability, we’ll make every reasonable adjustment possible to our selection process in order to accommodate you. Please get in touch to discuss your needs with a member of our team.

Medical Examination

Before you get started, you may need to undergo a medical examination – depending upon the programme you have applied to. This is just to make sure that you’re fit enough to take part in your various placements. We’ll let you know if it’s necessary for you, if you secure an offer to join us. As part of this, you’ll also be required to take a drugs and alcohol test.
