Manufacturing Engineering & Operations
The automotive industry as a whole is going through significant change and if we’re to survive and thrive, we need to become leaner and more agile. As such, we have torn up the rulebook and are transforming the way we manufacture vehicles to deliver more, for less, faster. A significant part of this transformation is bringing much of the design and commissioning activities back in-house. With thousands of vehicles being produced every day across our production facilities, Manufacturing sits at the very heart of Jaguar Land Rover.
The Manufacturing Engineering (ME) team is a support function to Manufacturing with a focus on the design, development and operation of integrated production systems to achieve high quality and economically competitive products.
The Team
As an Undergraduates on the Manufacturing Programme, within Manufacturing Engineering, you could go into one of the following roles: Process, Facilities, Joining, Controls and Dimensional Systems engineering. You could be involved in activities as varied as the strategic planning of a new plant right through to installing and commissioning new production facilities.
We will train you to effectively implement and manage a lean operation and how to interpret the digital engineering lifecycle of a vehicle, whilst developing your core competence in engineering. This will form your foundation knowledge as a Manufacturing Engineer.
We will train you to use your creativity to help translate, plan and implement engineering outputs into sophisticated vehicle manufacturing. You will gain insight into how we make sure our plants are designed to achieve innovation, quality and efficiency. This is real-world experience that will prepare you for a rapidly changing world of manufacturing.
