Company Description
Are you a graduate engineer who is as interested in how a product actually gets built as in how it is designed? Do you find yourself the person who ends up running the team, chasing the parts, holding the plan and making sure the thing is finished on time? Ideally you have been part of your university's Formula Student, EcoRacing or robotics team, perhaps as a team principal, chief engineer or project lead, and you now want to do that in industry.
We're looking for a graduate Mechanical, Electrical, Automotive engineering student with program management experience. Ideally you are part of your university’s Formula student team or have worked on projects related to automotive, motorsport or energy storage; and want to work in a fast-paced start-up environment.
This is a rare opportunity to sit at the centre of a real engineering programme from day one. You will work directly alongside our Engineering Program Manager and our electrical, mechanical, software and production engineers, coordinating the work that turns a design into a manufactured product. You will see the whole system, not one corner of it, and you will be given real responsibility from the start.

- Track open issues, risks and decisions across the programme and keep the risk register current
