When you join Ford, your journey begins. You become part of a team that is already leading the way, with ingenious solutions and attainable products – and it is always ready to go further.

Here at Ford we offer the opportunity to work with IT and business colleagues from all over the world to help build, implement and enhance our information technology solutions. Performing a real role, with real responsibilities, your on-the-job placements, in either Ford Motor Company or Ford Credit Europe, will enable you to develop your skills.

Our IT organisation is uniquely placed to anticipate and respond to the multiple key priorities of our automotive and mobility business. Your focus is likely to be on one of the following key business areas:

Throughout your graduate career and beyond, you will find further opportunities to develop specific technical skills, or and to focus on key leadership competencies, such as Project Management.

Many of our roles offer exciting opportunities to contribute at an international level across our global organisation. IT is a global team, so you may also have the opportunity to travel to any Ford location worldwide. Graduates should, however, expect to be based in one of our main UK locations in Warley, Dunton, and Dagenham in South East Essex.
