Graduate Program
There are a number of the Yokogawa Marex Team who joined the organisation as graduates straight from university, and we continue this tradition. For graduates based on the Island, you do not have to move off to have a career in software development. Alternatively, if you do not live on the Island, through remote working location is not a barrier.
You will have a structured program to integrate you into the workplace and gain experience in software design, coding, test, and delivery. We believe in getting our graduates to work on real world projects at the very earliest opportunity.
We are always looking for talented individuals to join our team and welcome submission of CVs.
