Manufacturing Scheduling Placement Programme
At Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains, we offer a 12-month Manufacturing Scheduling Placement programme which will tap into your passion and determination to win, giving you a real opportunity to contribute to our on-track success story. In Manufacturing we face the challenge of turning highly IP sensitive, engineering designs into precision components, in a high pressure, fast-paced environment. Managing the resources, people and stakeholders during these challenges is the key to delivering performance and translating that into success.
As a Manufacturing Scheduling Placement student, you’ll see first-hand the breadth of engineering within Formula 1. This role is central to ensuring designs move from concept to finished parts in world-leading timescales. You’ll gain exposure to supply chain management, production control, and reporting - supporting the decisions that keep programmes on track. You’ll play a vital role in ensuring deadlines are met and that the manufacturing team operates efficiently.
- Production Control & Scheduling – Managing production orders, prioritising workloads, and ensuring alignment between demand and shop floor capacity.
- Supply Chain Management – Coordinating material availability, monitoring lead times, and managing subcontractor relationships to support business requirements.
- Reporting & Data Management – Using Excel skills to schedule, track progress, and provide accurate updates to stakeholders, whilst maintaining accurate inventory levels in our ERP system (SAP).
- Business Integration – Working with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Programme Management, and Procurement to ensure smooth workflow across functions.
