Our undergraduate programmes offer a direct pipeline to our graduate scheme, which is not eligible for sponsorship. Therefore, JLR will only accept applications for this programme from candidates who would have the right to work in the UK at the point that they would successfully convert to the graduate scheme.
ACHIEVE THE EXCEPTIONAL
Your placement year at university could not have come at a more exciting time. The undergraduate placement at JLR launches you into the heart of automotive innovation. Apply your learning, satisfy your curiosity and prepare for a long, successful career alongside industry experts. Arrive curious. Discover opportunity.
Your future starts here.
PRODUCT ENGINEERING: ELECTRICAL AND COMPLEX SYSTEMS UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME
At JLR, we design, engineer and build the vehicles of the future. And powering those vehicles are the automotive systems that give our customers cutting-edge features like assisted and automated driving.
This year-long undergraduate programme will introduce you to those systems and give you the technical skills and practical experience you need to become a successful engineering professional. You could be working in one of the following departments: Engineering Propulsion (EP), Digital Product Platform (DPP), Engineering Business Excellence, Engineering Body Chassis (EBC) or Engineering Operations (EO).
Below you can find out more about the teams you could be working in. The team you’re placed in will depend on your personal preferences and business needs.
ENGINEERING PROPULSION (EP) TEAM
Propulsion engineering at JLR is evolving—bringing power, performance, and connectivity together to create the future of exceptional and environmentally friendly driving experiences. Our iconic brands are the foundation of British engineering, and now we’re using cutting-edge research and technology to develop the next generation of electric drive units, energy storage devices, engines, batteries, transmissions, and drivelines.
We’re a global team, with testing facilities and offices worldwide. With a £15bn investment in electrification, Propulsion is where modern luxury comes to life.
As part of Propulsion, you’ll be vital in securing JLR’s future as a leader in premium, sustainable electrified vehicles, supporting our Destination Zero commitment by 2039.
DIGITAL PRODUCT PLATFORM TEAM
Our Digital Product Platform team designs, develops, and shapes the future of our electronics and complex systems. You could be involved in designing, developing, and validating JLR’s innovative technology solutions or focusing on model development and simulation at system or component levels. Your work will help us deliver premium features and consistent quality.
ENGINEERING BODY CHASSIS (EBC) TEAM
The Engineering Body Chassis team develops the visible and touchable parts of our cars. We collaborate closely with creative studios to turn concepts into engineering reality, considering performance, manufacturability, sustainability, cost, and weight.
If you join this team, you’ll develop real-world engineering solutions, learning to use tools and methodologies to create and optimize engineering solutions for new and existing products. This role will elevate your profile across the business through collaboration with various stakeholders, accelerating your development as an engineer.
ENGINEERING OPERATIONS (EO) TEAM
Engineering Operations supports innovation and product delivery with modern tools, processes, and technical services. Our diverse team works on project management, data analytics, prototype building, and testing, impacting every stage of engineering.
