Engineering is everywhere. Whether it’s your phone, chair, or clothes, everything you see has been engineered and manufactured to its exact specifications and requirements. Interested to find out how?
Who says work experience must be boring? We believe it’s the perfect opportunity to learn more about your interests, develop new skills, and begin making professional relationships.
As such, over the past few years, we’ve redesigned our work experience placements to show the excitement, intrigue, and enthusiasm of engineering and manufacturing roles.
The result? Incredible levels of interest and extremely positive feedback from the students who’ve taken part. Each year, we continue to offer work experience in June and July, giving more students the chance to spark their curiosity and work within these exciting industries.
During your placement, you will experience an automated robotic assembly area, 3D CAD design, quality assurance procedures, CV writing, interview techniques, and so much more, based across our Production, Quality, Engineering, and HR departments.
Throughout your experience, you’ll be supported by our highly knowledgeable and experienced staff, ensuring you gain valuable experience and an appreciation for the skills and level of expertise required for our business operations.

- You’ll be supported with dedicated assistance and support on hand throughout the week.
- Over the past few years, we have received incredibly positive feedback from students and schools alike, and our spaces fill up fast!
What do we look for in a work experience student?
