Description
Industrial Placement – Mechanical Systems
Fortescue Zero’s mission is to be the world leader in zero emission power systems. We are developing and manufacturing the technologies needed to decarbonise our planet. We are expanding across the geographies of UK, US and Australia and becoming a global company. As part of Fortescue, our vision is to be the number one integrated green technology, energy, and metals company.
An opportunity has arisen for a Industrial Placement to join the Mechanical Systems department in a rapidly expanding and exciting work environment.
About The Role
Fortescue Zero exists to accelerate the advantage and impact of our clients. We do it through innovative engineering and technology that solves complex problems and brings a step-change in weight, speed and efficiency. Join us to help fulfil our mission to accelerate an efficient, electric and sustainable future.
We operate a 13-month (August 2025 - Sept 2026) student placement programme within our Mechanical Systems team where our systems engineer support projects and products through the full life cycle, following a systems engineering approach. Most of the mechanical systems can be categorised as either thermal and fluids or structural, you will embed in either team or have the possibility to rotate through both.
Both teams are responsible for their systems, taking ownership and accountability for components and systems from requirements to series release, involved on anything that has a level of structural demand or thermal management, which can include fire suppression, hydraulic and pneumatic systems. This department forms part of our Mechanical Engineering function where you will be working and collaborating closely with Design, CAE, Manufacturing, procurement, test and validation to name a few.
Fortescue Zero provides these systems into various sectors, predominantly automotive and off-highway, but also motorsport, aviation, marine and defence.
This is an exciting opportunity where you will work with highly skilled and experienced engineering professionals and graduates who you can learn and develop with - the more questions you ask the more you will gain from your experience. It is important to know that many of our industrial placements have been successful in obtaining graduate roles on completion of their degree.
What You Will Do
To be eligible for an industrial placement within our Mechanical Systems team, you will be working towards a degree in Mechanical, Automotive, Aeronautical Engineering (or similar). You should have a good working knowledge of proprietary PC software (e.g. MS Excel, PowerPoint, Office) and be able to evidence your problem-solving and communication skills. It would be advantageous to demonstrate previous experience in a design office environment or project team, and in a fast-paced environment. Demonstration of an interest in materials and structures and/or thermal management solutions would be advantageous.
What is in it for you?
Our typical hybrid roles at Fortescue Zero require 3 days in the office and 2 from home, making the ability to commute to the stated office location for the required days essential.
The closing date for applications is 4th November 2024
Not near-zero
Not net-zero.
We are Fortescue Zero.
Additional Information
You do not need to match every listed expectation to apply for this position. At Fortescue Zero we are committed to building a team that encompasses a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and skills. Fortescue Zero is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and inclusion. If you have a disability, we are happy to discuss reasonable job adjustments. You are welcome to apply no matter your age, disability, gender, marriage or civil partnership status, pregnancy and maternity status, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.
Please note, if you are applying for a role which involves having access to personal data, you will be subject to a background check. Where checks are unsatisfactory or incomplete and/or a failure to reveal information relating to convictions that you are required to identify as part of the background checks, could lead to withdrawal of an offer of employment.
