The Framework 

We believe the best way to develop great consultants, engineers, and analysts is through hands-on experience across real projects, supported by strong technical foundations and exposure to multiple disciplines.

Our Early Careers Framework is designed to provide a structured experience across a range of teams and services, helping you build capability, discover your strengths, and understand how engineering, data, and technology come together in practice.

  • Rotations are shaped by:
