There are a number of directions you can potentially choose, and our trained assessors will work with you to identify which areas of the business would be a good match for you.

Our Engineering teams are responsible for delivering a wide variety of services across Europe. You’ll spend your time on the programme becoming one of CSC’s highly respected subject matter experts in one of the following fields:

CSC in the UK has over 4,000 UNIX servers of every type (SUN Solaris, IBM AIX, HP, HP-UX, Linux, Redhat, etc.) and level of hardware, from 1 CPU standalone servers to high-end, clustered and complex environments.
Wintel: We have over 12,000 Wintel servers running on multiple hardware vendors and levels of hardware, from 1-CPU standalone servers to high-end, clustered and complex environments. Active directory, Citrix, VMWare, and Microsoft Exchange are a few of the key products we use.

Solutions Architecture
Our infrastructure solution architects have direct contact with clients as part of our project work. They are responsible for all aspects of the technology infrastructure design – capturing the client requirements, translating these into technical solutions and taking the infrastructure solution from concept to creation.
Your first assignment will be delivered as part of a client delivery team, working with the lead architect, project managers and engineering teams. You’ll help to deliver the most appropriate technology for the solution whilst ensuring that the design integrates with existing technology and future client requirements.
In due course, you will become a Junior Project Architect. Typically you will be on your first assignment for six months before moving onto another diverse project, either with the same client or a different one, which will allow you to gain exposure to other aspects of the work that we do here at CSC.
Systems Transformation & Integration
As part of our Systems Transformation & Integration team, you could find yourself:
- Building, testing or deploying new web applications for some of the country’s leading organisations
- Automating our clients’ business processes with the aid of the world’s most advanced integration technologies
- Ensuring these solutions keep running and performing, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
To ensure that you can deliver the very best service to our customers, we will provide a comprehensive programme of formal and on-the-job training and mentoring. Ultimately, you could choose to become one of our key technical specialists. Alternatively you may prefer to move into areas such as Business Architecture, Enterprise Architecture, IT Service Management or Project Management.
