The Opportunity – Engineering Graduate Scheme
Start Date - September 2026, typically for 18 months.
Starting salary - £30,000
After completing the 18‑month graduate scheme, you will move into a permanent role within one of our engineering teams.
Minimum Entry Criteria – You’ll need to be near to, or have completed, an appropriate bachelor’s or master’s degree such as Electrical Controls, Electrical Systems, Electrical & Electronic, Mechanical and must be on track to secure a 2:1 or higher.
This will be suited to you if…
You are 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 are investing into the future of our business and, as a Design 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 shortlisting and sending out interviews in April 2026.
