Our Programming Internship is a 12-month placement (minimum) at d3t, where you can expect to be fully integrated to our engineering department at one of our two sites in the UK (Daresbury, Cheshire or Gateshead, Tyne & Wear). As an intern, you can expect be fully supported by a dedicated mentor that will guide you through all the things you will be learning and developing throughout the year. You will also learn from your project team and our open and supportive culture, giving you access to the knowledge of over 120 experienced engineers.
