This will be suited to you if…
You’re dedicated, passionate, hands-on, willing to learn and have a relevant university project or work experience behind you. You’ll be a truly logical thinker, great problem solver and a tenacious, inquisitive graduate. What’s more, your fresh approach and desire to always challenge the norm and think creatively will be underpinned by a safety-conscious approach and the desire to succeed in a fast-paced environment.
What does the Electrical & Electronic Graduate Scheme involve day to day?
We’re investing into the future of our business and, as an Electrical & Electronic Engineering Graduate, you’ll be a crucial part of that. You’ll undertake tailored placements that perfectly suit your career aspirations, contributing to large scale projects – not just working on one small section of the machine, but on large systems or the entire machine architectures. There’s also the chance to get stuck into a more commercially focused placement to experience engineering from a unique perspective. This is a scheme for those who have a unique view of the work they’re doing and want to have their voice heard in a high-impact environment.
What could I be doing?
- Touch screen display programming covering both front-end UI and backend coding techniques
- Electrical design of circuits and harnesses using relevant CAD software
- Specific machine system testing and verification to evaluate new functionality or discover potential issues
- Researching future technologies that will ensure positive innovation and improvements across our new fleet of machines
What comes next?
- We’ll be reviewing applications against the essential criteria then shortlisting and sending out links to our online assessments in November 2026 - January 2027 (we’d recommend you keep a look out for emails at this point as you’ll hear from us either way).
- Once you’ve fully completed your online assessment, we’ll review it and provide you with an update within a few weeks. Please note, if you’ve not completed your online assessment then we won’t take your application further (we’ll send you a few reminders to make sure you don’t forget). If you’ve been progressed, you’ll be sent an invite to attend one of our in-person Assessment Centres.
- In-person Assessment Centres will take place from January to April 2027 (we’ll send you all the details you need).
- Following your Assessment Centre, whether you’ve been successful or not, our promise to you is that you’ll receive a call with feedback.
- If successful, congratulations! We’ll now take you through the onboarding process, which will include a familiarisation day.
