At Triumph, we are driven to make the best motorcycles in the world. Building iconic motorcycles that celebrate our past whilst embracing the future - through bold design, original styling, purposeful engineering and a genuine passion for the ride.
The role
We are currently recruiting for a Student Design Engineer for a year-long placement. The placement will be based within the Design Department where your role will be similar to that of a full time Design Engineer. The work will be real, interesting and relevant to your studies, helping to develop and test a broad range of skills drawn from the knowledge you have gained at University. The role will include 3D CAD design work, calculations, simulation, and technical drawings, as well as liaising with external suppliers and internal departments.
Students aren’t taken on as extra resource, they are needed to fulfil the role of an engineer and contribute to the design and development of a production motorcycle. The design department is made up of small, very focussed design teams, which will give you the opportunity to quickly take on a position of high responsibility.
A high percentage of industrial placement students go on to join Triumph in full-time employment after graduating and Triumph often offer sponsorship deals to students whom it aims to bring back into full-time employment after graduation.
About you
