      Graduate Mechanical Engineer Interview

      9 Mar 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Belfast, Northern Ireland
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Arup (Belfast, Northern Ireland) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      Fairly typical application form with a few questions on why you are applying for the company and the role, Job specific question to describe an interesting building and the challenges the engineers would have faced designing it. Almost 3 months till I heard I'd made it to the assessment centre, which was well run, featured a group task - assessing a potential project based on the company values, office tour, technical exercise - analysing the challenges of a project - fairly generic application of principles, and interview which was relaxed and about an hour during which your technical task was discussed and then some typical interview questions. Think there were 6 of us chasing one job, and then several others from other disciplines.
