We are SEA.
Engineered to protect. We protect what matters - our nations, our waters, our land, our cities, our people, our environment, our world.
Join us.
The SEA Graduate scheme is a two-year programme starting in September 2025, designed to give you real responsibility from day one. It will provide you with general operational, customer, commercial and people management exposure in key areas with smaller rotations across Production, Business Development, Project Management, Supply Chain and Finance to build on your broader skills.
As an SEA Graduate you will have the opportunity to become involved in real live client projects, learning as you go and making decisions that impact our business. You will have supported training workshops and development mentoring sessions to equip you with the skills you need to progress and develop your career within SEA. We believe this is the best way to give you the knowledge and experience you need to grow, unlock your talents, and prove your capabilities.
As a Graduate Software Engineer you will perform Software Engineering (Design, Development, Integration and Test activities) for customer contracts across our business. You will work with the latest technology to help design and build innovative, efficient and secure systems.
