Work with us
A recipient of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2021, Ceres recognises that our people’s commitment to our purpose is integral to how we push boundaries and achieve the highest of goals.
Our strengths lie in our diversity. Our people have a broad sweep of technical and professional talent and, with backgrounds from 42 different countries they bring unique perspectives and original contributions. As pioneers of climate technology, we are seeking to answer the biggest test of our time, to develop ground-breaking ideas that support the decarbonisation of our energy system towards zero carbon emissions.
If you’re up for the challenge, we would love you to join us.
Career journey
Ceres’ people are lifelong learners. We collaborate and grow by moving at pace. We embrace equal development and employee engagement opportunities for all our people, recognising that we all share in our achievements, individually and collectively. We are proud of internal initiatives such as the Ceres Academy, which lies at the core of our training provision.
Diversity, equity, belonging and inclusion
We call it DEBI and it encompasses our belief that talent and ingenuity stem from a variety of perspectives and experiences. As an organisation and a group of people, we’re committed to growing opportunities to collaborate for all. We have a truly global team and an open and inclusive culture. Our ability to commit to our purpose and create the opportunity for a better world is dependent on every one of us at Ceres.
Connection
Our employee engagement group Connect, and its many hubs covering philanthropy, volunteering, STEM learning, LGBTQ+ and mental health first aiders drive inclusion and support our employee communities in fulfilling their missions and getting the very most from their contribution to Ceres. Everyone can get involved either as organisers or participants in a vibrant and ever-evolving part of our employee experience.
