PepsiCo's product portfolio includes a wide range of enjoyable foods and beverages, including 22 brands that generate more than $1 billion each in estimated annual retail sales.

Undergraduate placement students have an important part to play in our future and we provide a perfect environment for individuals to develop, whilst feeling valued and having fun.

  • Leading equipment reliability improvement teams to understand the root cause of poor performing assets and implementing initiatives.
  • Support the development and deployment of both productivity and capital investment programs, which may include state of the art automation equipment.
  • You’ll be given real-life objectives to work on and will be expected to make a noticeable contribution to your department.

What we’re looking for:

  • Undergraduate student, following path to a degree level qualification in Mechanical/ Electrical/ Manufacturing Engineering
  • High degree of initiative and drive to deliver results of trials and activities with the ability to be pro-active and multi-task.
  • Creative and can think of new and innovative ways to develop systems and make existing things work more efficiently.

Why did you decide to apply for a placement at PepsiCo?
When applying, they seemed so welcoming and I felt I'd get the best experience in terms of coming back into a work environment after Uni. It just felt like I'd get involved and do a real job; instead of just making coffee all the time!
