Join our legal team for work experience
We’ve joined PRIME, which is an alliance of law firms and in-house legal teams across the UK committed to improving access to the legal profession through work experience. We’re the first in-house legal team to launch the PRIME programme and we’re looking forward to welcoming our first students in June 2024.
About Aggreko's legal team

Our UK legal team are based at our Lomondgate campus in Dumbarton.
Our PRIME programme
We’re running a one-week work experience programme for three students to join our UK based legal team, starting on 17 June 2024. You’ll be based in Lomondgate, Dumbarton, with our legal team and will not only work with the legal team but also see the other parts of the business that make up Aggreko such as our manufacturing facility, service and repair centre and other support teams.
We will help you to grow the skills you’ll need to succeed in a career in law with practical activities, seminars and a visit to a law firm. We will also give you some insight into what it’s like to study law at university, apply for work and find a job in law that’s right for you.

“I’m delighted that Aggreko is the first in-house legal team to launch PRIME. Diversity within the legal profession is improving but there’s more to do to provide opportunities to young people from all walks of life to access the profession. I’m privileged to be part of a legal team with lawyers from a variety of backgrounds and believe we are stronger because of that diversity. We’re committed to providing opportunities to young people from our local communities to learn more about where a career in law can take them.”
