We don’t build cars, we enable cars to be built!

From procuring and installing innovative solutions to achieve maximum output, to root cause analysis and resolving quality issues, on our Engineering Graduate Scheme you’ll be supporting all areas of the manufacturing operation, ensuring seamless production of more than 500,000 cars every year. Engineering is a key function offering a full spectrum of roles covering Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Automotive and Chemical Engineering.

We combine practical engineering with project coordination using cross-functional teamwork. Truly embedded into the production process, engineers enjoy a mixture of desk-based work such as CAD and specification writing alongside real-world activities such as line trials and equipment buy off. We continually question methods, seek areas to improve and identify creative alternatives.

What you'll get

  • Salary of £31,314 rising every 6 months, ending on £38,134
  • Company pension programme
  • Company share scheme
  • Car ownership scheme
  • Fitness centre
  • Paid overtime and time in lieu
  • Private healthcare
  • Sports and leisure complex
  • 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Travel opportunities (dependent on role)

What you'll need

  • Must have or expect to achieve a 2:1 in a STEM related degree
  • You must have permission to live and work in the UK without restriction at the time of hire
  • A willingness to learn with a passion for engineering
  • Strong analytical skills to assist with root-cause studies
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills
  • Creative and forward thinking
  • Ability to adapt to a fast-paced organisation
  • A good working knowledge of MS Office applications and CAD systems
  • Geographically mobile

What you'll be doing

As with all new graduates, you will spend your first few weeks working on the production line – this experience is vital in giving you a firm understanding of our business. Thereafter, you will be given exposure to other functions before being assigned to a team of engineers where you will develop specialised knowledge within a particular area.

Initiative, confidence and a proactive approach are essential qualities in our engineers, because you are not just responding to issues, you are looking for areas to improve, finding out how systems can operate to maximum efficiency, questioning methods and suggesting creative alternatives. With our exceptional training and development (including support to study for Chartered Engineer status), the guidance of experienced engineers, and your own natural ability, you’ll find yourself meeting challenges head on and dealing with all situations that arise.

Your responsibilities on the Engineering Graduate Scheme will be dependent on which section of the Engineering Department you will work in. These include:

  • Current Model Engineering and Production Support
  • Quality Improvement
  • Cost Reduction
  • Facility Efficiency Improvements
  • New Model Introduction and Facility Planning
  • Vehicle Design for Manufacture
  • Strategic Planning
  • Technical Support
  • Quality Assurance
  • Health and Safety
