Accelerating Women in Engineering Programme
We are extremely proud of our Early Careers Programme which is an integral part of our Talent Attraction Strategy however we recognise that we need to do more to create opportunities for talented women engineers who are significantly underrepresented in both Motorsport and Engineering. Diverse representation is a prerequisite for harvesting diverse ideas and perspectives, and we are committed to identifying, understanding, and removing the obstacles that inhibit Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and taking action to address the disproportionately low number of female engineers in our industry.
We are delighted to introduce our Accelerating Women in Engineering Programme which is open for applications for both Graduates and Placements providing exposure to a breadth of engineering within Formula 1 and Advanced Technologies working alongside some of the world’s leading engineers. We are launching our application process, with the programme commencing in September 2027. Whilst the name of the programme is called Accelerating Women in Engineering, you will join our programme alongside the rest of the student cohort as either a Mechanical Engineering Graduate or Mechanical Engineering Placement.
Both programmes will offer:
- Rotations within the business in both Formula One and Advanced Technology
- A mentor assigned to each participant on the programme
- Opportunity to join our HPP Women’s Network and Women in Engineering Project Team
- Variety of benefits such as F1 collective bonus, company pension, opportunity to join our private healthcare and car lease scheme as well as an onsite gym and subsidised staff restaurant
