Engineering Graduate (4 x 6 Month Rotations)

at  Caterpillar

WHAT EXPERIENCES CAN WE OFFER YOU?

This year we are pleased to be able to offer 20+ Graduate roles on the rotating Engineering Graduate Scheme. New graduates are critical to the success of our Research & Development engineering teams. From day one you will engage in challenging work, solving real-world engineering problems through collaboration with our global team. You will be supported by a graduate manager and assigned a home department, both of which will support throughout the 2 year scheme.

Your four six-month placements will be tailored to ensure you gain a broad understanding of our engineering processes and build the foundations of a successful career. You will get the support, guidance and training you need to be successful at Caterpillar. Types of work you may be involved in include:

• Simulation – Develop advanced simulation models to predict the durability and performance of engines, powertrains, components, and systems (FEA, CFD and others). You will use this to influence the design of next generation products and solve complex problems.
• Test/Validation – Design and develop tests and testing rigs, manage dynamic test programs, analyse data and utilise continuous improvement tools for product development. Anything from running complete engine test cells, assessing noise and vibration, through to testing individual components. Validate that our products and control systems are robust to all our customers’ demanding use cases.
• Performance – Create models of complete power systems, define control strategies and deploy them on our power-train solutions. Developing calibrations to maximise performance, while ensuring our products are durable, efficient, and meet global emissions legislation.
• Design – Use your engineering knowledge to design, analyse and improve powertrain components and systems. You could be optimising a turbocharger, designing an exhaust aftertreatment system or even working on next generation battery electric machines.
• Data Analytics – Take the vast quantity of data we record every day and interrogate it for insights. Predict how our products will work in the real world and proactively monitor to make engine systems better. You could be utilising machine learning, test bed data, customer requirements or big-data systems to solve complex engineering problems.
• Suppliers/Customers – Be at the forefront of our relationships with global customers and suppliers. Translate customer requirements into project objectives or establish strong supplier connections to maintain product quality.

In addition to this, we offer you a mentor to support your professional development and help you achieve Chartered or Incorporated Engineer status with your chosen institution. Our professional development scheme is accredited and highly regarded by the IMechE and the IET.
We also hold a Meet and Greet day for all new Graduates to provide you with an opportunity to meet fellow new starters before you begin your role.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

This is an engineering scheme; however, we recognise the value that other STEM based qualifications bring to our team. We are looking for people who are open minded, excellent problem solvers and who have an ability to adapt and learn quickly. Prior power-train knowledge is not required.

Applicants should have achieved, or be on track to achieve, a minimum of a 2:2 and be studying for a degree in one of the following disciplines:

• Engineering (Automotive, Aeronautical, Aerospace, Mechanical & Chemical)
• Materials
• Maths
• Science

We are looking for talented, ambitious people from various backgrounds who are interested in setting out on the road to success.
