An Industrial placement can be an important first step in your career. So at 3M, expect to be treated as part of the team from the day you arrive to the day you complete your 12 months within our organisation. Expect real work with real responsibility too. There’s no better way to equip you with skills, insight and support that could lead to a career with us after graduation if you show us your potential. Find out more about our Industrial Placement Development.

Above all, you need enthusiasm to succeed here, plus a genuine desire to be part of a supportive culture where everyone is focused on one thing: our customers.

Naturally, to work at 3M you need to be a free thinker and have plenty of drive and ambition.

You will need:

  • The unrestricted right to live and work in the EU.
  • A minimum of three A-level passes or a pass in a minimum of 6 Honours Level Leaving Certificate subjects (or equivalent higher education qualifications such as Scottish Advanced Highers or BTEC National Diploma).
  • A UCAS tariff of at least 240 points.
  • To be on target to achieve a minimum 2:2 degree.

If you want to discover your true potential and you have what it takes to succeed at one of the world’s most innovative organisations, we’d like to receive your application.

We believe that how we do business is just as important as the business we do. So it’ll come as no surprise that, as a global organisation, we offer some truly world-class opportunities for your Industrial Placement year.
