Through placements across Engineering, Operations and Commercial, you'll develop technical expertise, build business insight, and gain a deep understanding of our global organisation. You'll gain first-hand experience of how innovative products, technologies, and processes are developed through Engineering, and how Operations brings them to life through manufacturing excellence, continuous improvement, and customer delivery.
As part of a select graduate cohort, you'll work alongside colleagues from around the world, take on new challenges and gain experiences that will shape your future career.
Successful applicants will join the programme in September 2027
