Mars Engineering Leadership Experience

The Mars Engineering Leadership Experience is an opportunity to join an International Graduate program that gives you the opportunity to develop and grow through three 12-month placements responsible for different areas within Engineering at Mars. You’ll help grow Mars and develop our world-class brands, whilst receiving unparalleled support for your own professional and personal development.

The Engineering Leadership Experience program at Mars gives you the chance to develop new technical and leadership skills, innovate at Global scale, and build a career today, for a thriving tomorrow. Each year we give you the opportunity to challenge yourself, increase your breadth of knowledge and develop yourself as a leader. We’ll tailor each project to you and your own development path, so you can be sure what you’re doing will help you build yourself as a future leader.

What will I do?

  • Year 1 is the Project Engineers’ role where you’ll focus on building your technical understanding and get to know more about the world of Mars, and our world-famous brands.
  • Year 2 gives you the opportunity to understand different cultures and develop your own leadership style whilst working abroad – all with excellent support from Mars, both personally and professionally.
  • Year 3 will see you managing your own team, and putting your knowledge from previous years into action, helping develop other Associates, and building on your future career within Mars.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
