Flexible Working

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis (e.g. job share), despite the position being advertised as full-time.

Launch your career at WMG, University of Warwick and work on real-world leading international research and development projects within science, technology and engineering.

As a Graduate Trainee Engineer, through the two year programme, you will receive hands-on training in both current industry practices and next-generation technologies, including best practice and safety requirements for battery manufacturing. You will gain exposure to key stages of the cell value chain through rotational projects across synthesis scale-up, electrode formulation, cell assembly, formation/aging, cycling protocols, and cell characterisation.

Each rotation provides a unique experience designed to build critical skills for battery engineers. During the first year, rotations will typically last between 3 and 6 months, with opportunities to specialise in a chosen area in year two.

This specialist graduate pathway offers a diverse, high-quality programme with opportunities to work in collaboration with industry and academic partners within a project engineering and applied research setting.

About You

We seek a minimum of a 2:1 Honours Degree in any STEM related degree discipline. We encourage applications from candidates with a degree in Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Physics, Chemistry or a related discipline.

We wish to advise applicants that this role is not eligible for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker visa. If you do not yet have the right to work in the UK you will need to check the UK Government Website to see if you are eligible to obtain the right to work in the UK through one of the other UK immigration routes before you make your application.

As a Graduate Engineer you will work on a range of projects, providing you with a firm grounding in the principles of project engineering, research and project management. Each rotational project will offer a unique experience. Some projects may be lab based, others may have more of a focus on research or development. During year one of the Programme, each project duration will last between 3 and 6 months.

Please visit our Graduate Development Programme page for more information: Graduate Development Programme
