This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside highly skilled and experienced engineering professionals and graduates, offering plenty of scope to learn and develop - the more questions you ask the more you will gain from your experience. It is important to know that many of our industrial placements have been successful in obtaining graduate roles on completion of their degree.
