Interns/Industrial Trainees
Every year, we recruit around 70-100 undergraduate degree students onto our 12-month Industrial Trainee Scheme, which consists of lab and non-lab paid placements across all areas of our business. Throughout your placement, you'll contribute to live departmental projects and be given real responsibility.
It's a fantastic opportunity to gain an insight into how one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies operates, while advancing your own academic knowledge and technical skills. Our Sandwich site is modern with various benefits including, staff restaurant, social club, health club offering a gym and organised classes and a Pfizer bus service from surrounding towns. What's more, you'll enjoy a competitive salary, 25.5 days holiday, as well as a wide range of other benefits.

The departments recruiting for non-lab/non-science based Industrial Trainees include Science & Medical Public Affairs, Computational Sciences, Clinical R&D, Environmental Health & Safety (EHS), Finance, Informatics, Regulatory Affairs, Statistics and Supply Chain.
