Manufacturing is at the very heart of our Industrial Operations chapter, with thousands of vehicles being produced every day across our production facilities. Apprentices will join one of the following teams across industrial ops including Global Manufacturing Engineering, Manufacturing or Supplier Technical Assistance (STA), Battery Assembly Centre (BAC) or our Halewood plant team.

The GME team support the projects and innovations that enable our Reimagine strategy across our global locations. You will be working with stakeholders across our enterprise, including product engineering, procurement and manufacturing operations to implement new products, processes and equipment.

The STA team within our procurement chapter are responsible for supplier quality throughout our vehicle portfolio, interacting with every part that goes into our cars and ensuring we deliver excellence. You’ll start within our manufacturing plants where work closely with our supplier base focusing on projects to improve part quality.

As a Control Systems Engineer, you will be a key part of our Manufacturing process. Your skill set will ensure that any breakdowns that occur are kept to a minimum and that when issues do arise, you can effectively problem solve to a speedy and effective resolution. Throughout your academic studies, you will learn all about Programmable Logic Controller software and what is required to operate robots successfully. You will be responsible for developing, updating and implementing control specifications and standards for manufacturing equipment and systems, and this will be taught to you via your degree programme.

You could find yourself working within one of the following teams: Global Manufacturing Engineering (GME), Engineering Operations or Engineering Propulsion.

Electronics is the driving force behind most of the innovation happening in modern vehicles. You can find electronic parts in most, if not all active components of our products from sensors and actuators, all the way up to sophisticated, purely electric propulsion systems. Most of our apprenticeships on this pathway will sit in Product Engineering. As an Electrical and Electronics engineer, you will learn a variety of different skills including electronics circuit design, power electronics, embedded safety-critical system design, programming and more. You might get involved in the development of custom-made components for our products, testing and validation of electronic systems, development of high voltage propulsion electronics or autonomous driving .

You could find yourself working within one of the following teams: Engineering Operations or Engineering Propulsion.

Engineering is responsible for the delivery of everything the customer sees and touches on a vehicle. The teams create and develop engineering solutions from the virtual to the physical environment to deliver world class products, processes and facilities. Working efficiently, our goal is to create high-quality, desirable and technologically advanced products that will shape the future of mobility.

They work closely with our Vehicle Programmes team who are responsible for ensuring that products are delivered on time and to quality standards which fulfil our brand and customer promise. This department is connected to all areas across JLR, in particular engineering, to realise our product programmes so rol es here offer a truly cross-functional experience, through product strategy, programme management, business performance, cross-carline and commodity strategy, and programme purchasing.

On your journey to becoming an expert in product design and development, you will learn to use cutting edge digital engineering toolsets such as CAD and CAE acquiring knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes, solving complex engineering problems along the way. You will be a core member of the team, contributing to the development of new vehicles and processes whilst mentored by industry experts.

You could find yourself working within one of the following teams: Engineering Body Chassis, Engineering Propulsion, Engineering Operations, or our Vehicle Programmes team.
