Current placements
Industrial design and technical design placement
Our student placements for industrial design and technical design for 2011/2012 have already been snapped up, so I’m afraid we are no longer accepting applications. A big thanks to all who applied.
From May next year, we’ll be opening up our placement programs again for summer 2012 and 45 week 2012/2013. The competition is tough, but don’t let that stop you – if you have what we’re looking for, we’ll see it, and help you make the most of it. If you have a real passion for design or engineering, get in touch.
What's on the menu?
As part of our design team, you'll become fully immersed in projects for global brands across consumer, industrial and medical sectors. The placement offers early responsibility, mentoring and training from our talented team and full exposure to our insight and design processes.
Are you up to the job?
The following are welcomed with open arms:
• Undergraduates studying the fields of Industrial/Product Design or similar for our ID placements.
• Industrial Design Engineering/Mechanical Engineering or similar for our Technical placements.
Due to the high volume of applications, we can only respond to those selected for interview. If you haven't heard back from us within 3 weeks, you haven't been successful. Good luck!
