Why not see what our current graduates had to say

As we welcome our newest cohort of graduates and apprentices, we’re excited to hear their thoughts about starting their journey with us.

Here’s what they had to say about becoming part of our team. 

Meet our Early Careers professionals:

“One thing I have noticed since joining D2 is the prioritisation of growth and exposure, using the competency framework to target development and support you beginning your career. Since joining as a Graduate, I have had the chance to gain experience in all the capabilities D2 offers, with the initial rotations including a diverse range of activities, site visits and learning sessions. Everyone at D2 is enthusiastic about providing opportunities and sharing knowledge, including many occasions to meet the team and build relationships across the company.”

Molly Hayward, Project Management Graduate

“Since joining D2 in September, I have settled into full time employment thanks to the help from all the staff at D2. I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone and have had constant support since my first day, which is something I have really appreciated. The most rewarding moment so far has been getting placed on a project. “

Finnan Gallacher, Programme Performance Apprentice
