“we're a global business so recognise that value that talented people brings to us, wherever you're based, and can sponsor international candidates.”
The catch: There is no early careers landing page on drax.com. The careers navigation goes straight from Why Drax to Experienced Hires, so the only way to see a cohort is to search the Cornerstone vacancies site.
