28 Graduate Jobs Bristol

The tenth largest city of England, with some 460,000 inhabitants, Bristol has a strong, modern economy reliant on creative media, electronics, and aerospace engineering owing to its strong 20th century ties with aircraft manufacturing and its two highly ranked universities. Bristol can boast a long and rich history reaching as far back as the Roman invasion of Britain, making it a rounded and well-developed urban area, perfect for settling in and looking for graduate jobs. Graduates will also be happy to hear about Bristol's exponential growth, projected for some 2.3%, halted only by the coronavirus pandemic. With good economic prospects for recovery based on previous development and growth, Bristol will be a good choice for a new home for any graduate.
Bristol has only slightly larger urban area population of ca. 670,000, granting it--similarly to other cities in the UK--a properly-sized, though not excessive commuter population. Well-connected to other parts of South-West and the capital, Bristol enjoys good road and rail links, catering to motorists and users of public transport alike. High-speed rail connections to London Paddington ensure that graduate jobs that require frequent travel between to the capital is an accessible and viable option, while also allowing for convenient foreign travel, further aided by Bristol Airport. CrossCountry trains serve many local destinations too, ensuring that whether you find a graduate job within the city itself or further afield, you will have no issue commuting. Having won the European Green Capital Award in 2015 and being crowned the best city to live in the UK in 2014 and 2017, Bristol is most definitely an attractive destination for any graduate.
Our economy's reliance on service industry finds its reflection in Bristol, too, with creative media taking the top spot among graduate jobs; the good annual growth rate and GVA also ensure that there will be no shortage of administrative and clerical posts as development goes forward. Perhaps conversely to other modern cities, Bristol is also a centre of engineering and manufacturing (though not in the traditional heavy industries). Graduates looking for jobs in aerospace engineering will be particularly pleased to learn about the presence of industry giants such as BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, and Airbus in the area. All these provide a steady supply of high-skilled, well-paying graduate positions with good career prospects in an innovative and ever-expanding field. Graduates specialising in the maritime industries, as well as associated industries are likely to find employment in the Bristol Port Company which saw continuous growth in shipping since privatisation in 1991. Plans for a deep sea cargo terminal are also in place, ensuring further enlargement of the venture and more fantastic graduate jobs opportunities. This also means likely expansion in HR, administrative and leisure industries throughout Bristol to accommodate the new, wealthy staff & their families.
Looking for a graduate job is not only looking for opportunities today, but also for prospects in the future. That's why Bristol is a fantastic choice for educated and highly skilled workers entering the employment market.
