Job Specifications
Are you passionate about the science behind products like Ariel, Lenor and Fairy you use every day? Do you want to work with world-class brands in the largest consumer company in the world whilst studying towards your degree?
We are offering summer internship opportunities in July 2026 at our Newcastle Innovation Centre.
About Our Newcastle Innovation Centre
This role is based in our Newcastle Innovation Centre. The centre focuses on developing Products for Fabric Care and Home Care with brands such as Ariel, Fairy and Bold. Our R&D sites are where ideas come to life, with teams collaborating across R&D, product development, and technology to create and test products that make a real difference!
The site is conveniently located just a 15-minute drive from both the City Centre and the scenic Northeast coastline, with the Tyne and Wear Metro only a 10-minute walk away and regular bus connections. There is free on-site parking, a coffee shop, subsidized restaurant serving breakfast and lunch, and a gym!
What To Expect
Research and Development (R&D) at P&G will help you to discover the essence behind crafting some of the world's most renowned brands. Delve into a realm where science takes centre stage. Some of the best scientists in the world go to work making our products just right for the billions of consumers who use them. We're talking cutting edge technology, "hands-on" labs and pilot plants, 41,000+ active patents and a team full of inventors.
During your summer internship, you will get a first-hand experience of what a career in R&D with P&G involves, and if it is right for you. You will be working on live business R&D projects and expected to dive straight in and take the lead. Each intern receives a customized learning plan to ensure they get the right levels of coaching, mentoring, and training as they deliver their work. If you are looking for an exciting and challenging experience, have a passion for winning, strong leadership credentials and an interest in pursuing a career at P&G - this internship is for you!
What You Will Gain
Responsibilities and Real Work from Day 1: You will be given specific projects and responsibilities working on real and live business challenges, just like a true P&Ger.
Continuous training & coaching: You will work with passionate people and receive both formal training as well as day-to-day mentoring from your manager.
Competitive Compensation & Benefits: The monthly salary for this summer internship is PS2,625. On top of this you'll enjoy lots of benefits like the option to enrol in our pension, flexible working arrangements, and your very own 'Flex4Me' Fund which enables you to allocate a portion of your benefits package to the areas that matter most to you.
Full Time Role: Successful interns have the potential to secure a full-time position with P&G after graduation. As a 'build from within' company, our people start at entry level and progress through the organization. When we make a job offer, it's with the expectation that you will grow into one of our future leaders, and to help you get there, you will work closely with skilled P&G veterans for mentoring and coaching at every step.
What We Look For
University students pursuing an MSc in a scientific or engineering discipline graduating in 2026 or 2027. We also welcome applications from those who have already graduated who are able to complete a summer internship.
Evidence of passion and achievements in academic and/or non-academic activities. Tell us what you're proud of - be it playing a musical instrument or holding down a job alongside your studies. We want to get to know you during your application!

Strong verbal and written English language skills.
Start Date
The internship's duration is from July 1st, 2026, until September 18th, 2026.
Right To Work
For our internship roles, you will need to provide your own right to work in the UK for the full duration of your internship without requiring sponsorship from P&G. Note, this will require your right to work permission to be valid between 1st July 2026 to 18th September 2026 for a minimum of 37.5 hours per week.
P&G is legally required to ensure all candidates have the right to work in the UK from Day 1 of their employment. All applicants will therefore be asked to provide evidence of their right to work at the conclusion of the recruitment process as a condition of employment.
