PRODUCT ENGINEERING: FUTURE PROPULSION SYSTEMS GRADUATE PROGRAMME
Fossil fuels have dominated automotive propulsion since the introduction of cars, but our priorities are evolving as we move toward the future. Before the end of the decade, Range Rover, Discovery, and Defender brands will offer pure-electric options, while Jaguar will be entirely electric - and you have the opportunity to be part of this journey.
As a Future Propulsion Systems graduate, you'll learn what it takes to deliver the high-quality propulsion systems of the future. You'll work in a range of different environments, using a mixture of engineering tools such as Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and Computer Aided Design (CAD) in addition to data analysis techniques, while closely partnering customer groups.
You'll take a systems view of the entire delivery landscape for commodities and systems, working closely with our programme managers, purchasing, manufacturing, external engineering service providers, and Jaguar engineering to create and deliver final completed products to quality, cost, and time targets. We'll look to you for new ideas and fresh perspectives on everything we do.
During the two-year programme, you'll rotate through a variety of placements to help you develop your technical knowledge at either component or system level. You'll gain a full understanding of conceptualisation, design, development, optimisation, and delivery for world-class components and systems. We'll try to match your placement with your skill set and interests, and you'll be supported by a mentor every step of the way.
YOUR DEVELOPMENT
Our graduate programme is all about helping you grow and thrive. You'll get to work with some of the brightest minds in the industry, build connections, and gain valuable insights that will set you up for success.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
To join the Product Engineering: Future Propulsion Systems Graduate Programme, you'll need to hold or be on track to achieve at least a 2.2 degree in mechanical or automotive engineering/design, systems CAD, chemistry, physics, or computer science. You should be a skilled problem-solver with a curiosity for understanding business challenges and a drive to deliver innovative solutions. Strong numerical and interpersonal skills, along with the confidence to champion new initiatives, are also essential.
REWARDS AND BENEFITS
Our 2025 graduate programme salary is £32,000, with a £2,000 joining bonus. After two years, you will progress from the graduate programme on a £39,000 salary. In addition, JLR offers a generous holiday allowance, a discounted car purchase and lease scheme for you and your family, excellent pension provisions, and access to a wide range of deals and discounts from well-known retailers and sports clubs.
