The selection process
Apply

You must have unrestricted work rights in the country in which you are applying. We recommend submitting your application early. Due to the expected volume of applications, RES reserves the right to close applications before the advertised closing date (2 October).
Application review
After the application deadline, our Talent Acquisition team reviews applications and shortlists candidates whose skills, interests and experience align most closely with the opportunity.
Short psychometric assessment
If shortlisted, you will complete a short online assessment to help us understand your strengths and potential beyond academic achievements.
Screening call
A 30-minute Microsoft Teams conversation with Talent Acquisition. No preparation is required. We will share more about RES and learn about your motivations and career aspirations.
Full psychometric assessment
Candidates progressing beyond the screening call complete a more detailed assessment to help us understand working style, communication approach and key strengths.
Assessment centre
You will take part in individual exercises, group activities, collaborative tasks and an interview with hiring managers. This is also an opportunity to meet the team and learn more about RES.
Outcome
Following the assessment centre, we will review all feedback and communicate the outcome of your application.
Graduate quote
“I’m given the autonomy to do what I need to do in my role, but I can also get help whenever I need it. I don't feel scared to go and ask questions or speak to anyone whenever I'm not feeling confident.”

Where the roles are
Straight answers
What is the graduate programme? 
A 24-month programme consisting of three, eight-month rotations. You’ll be on live project work from the start, alongside team meetings, shadowing, training, coaching and cross-functional work. Eight roles across four countries.
It depends where you join. The US cohort starts Monday 12 July 2027. Spain and UK&I start September 2027.
Do I need experience in renewable energy?
No. Plenty of people here arrived from other industries or straight from university.
Do I need a postgraduate degree?
No. For Services and Development it’s welcome, but it isn’t required for any role.
You’ll need to be either in the final year of your degree and graduating before the programme starts, or to have graduated within the last two years.
You’ll also need:
- A relevant degree for the role you’re applying to
- Any language skills the role requires
- Unrestricted work rights in the country you’re applying in
Do I need to speak a second language?
For Denver and Albacete, yes: Spanish and English.
For Montreal, French and English is preferred but not required.
For the Kings Langley Development role, German and English is preferred but not required.
2 October. We may close earlier if volumes are high, so it’s worth applying early rather than waiting.
What does the selection process involve?
Six stages: your application, a short online assessment, a 30-minute screening call with Talent Acquisition, a fuller assessment, an assessment centre, then the outcome. It runs from early September to late November, or early December for UK&I.
Assessment centres take place in:
- North America and Spain — first week of November
- UK&I — week of 16 November
You’ll need to be available to attend on those dates, so please check they work for you before you apply. We’ll confirm exact dates with you.
What happens at the assessment centre?
About half a day in a small group, with three activities: a one-to-one interview with one or more department leaders, a paired exercise on a business scenario, and a group challenge you present back. Business casual. Refreshments provided.
Do I need to prepare for the screening call?
No preparation needed. It’s a 30-minute Microsoft Teams conversation with our Talent Acquisition team. We’ll tell you more about RES and hear about what’s motivating you and where you want to take your career. Have your CV to hand and bring questions! It’s as much your chance to work out whether RES is right for you.
If you’re applying for a role with a language requirement, part of the conversation may be in that language, just to check you’d be comfortable using it at work.
What support will I get at RES?
A buddy from day one, a mentor, and regular development conversations. We also include a structured two-year development programme covering workplace foundations, technical and business skills, self-management and leadership, and working across cultures. You’ll own real work, but you won’t be left to figure it out alone.
Benchmarked against local market data and reviewed regularly. Reward is tied to both company performance and your own contribution. Recognition runs through our values-based PACE awards.
Hybrid: Four days in office/on site, and one work-from-home day.
Yes. You join as a permanent employee from day one. The three rotations happen within a permanent role.
What happens after the 24 months?
The rotations finish, your job doesn’t. You’ll settle into a permanent role, and we’ll help you work out where you want to take things next. RES is a global company and the path isn’t always a straight line!
For Montreal, we’ll talk with you about what comes next as the two years come to an end.
