Future Propulsion Systems Engineer Review

I work in Engineering Operations and have been in 4 different teams throughout the year. I get to work by cycling or free company shuttle bus (from Coventry Station) at 7-7:30am but I am able to choose any time between 7-9am. My work day is 8 hours + 0.5 hour unpaid lunch. Day can be mix of office or lab/workshop work with some teams meetings.

Absolutely. I was trusted to take charge on important projects, deal with suppliers and organise whole lab operations for the day.

YES! Developed lots of existing communication, presentation, organisation skills etc. Learnt lots of new engineering skills within all of my different teams as well. The only limitation to your potential development at JLR is your own determination and work ethic.

Huge amounts. My managers and mentors through all the different teams were incredibly helpful and supportive. They made sure that my experience was the priority and that I was getting the most out of the year. Additionally, I had a dedicated cohort lead from the early careers team who was there to help with any issues.

Very positive, welcoming and early careers friendly. Everyone respects and values early careers and I have found myself welcome in all different teams. The company places real importance on working culture and inclusivity which definitely shines through.

I loved it. Would 100% make the same decision again and will be recommending both placement years in general and those at JLR to university students I talk to in the future.

Yes
