Energy and Environment Engineering Industrial Placement Scheme 2025

The Automotive Industry is changing more rapidly than ever with the need to decarbonise and develop a circular economy for our products. This is an exciting time to join the Environment Innovation Team and as a placement, you’ll have opportunities to lead projects around the site to enhance the already leader level status within Toyota. This role is aligned with Toyota’s Environmental Challenge 2050.

Your Time Here:

The Toyota Industrial Placement programme will stretch your problem-solving skills and introduce you to people at all levels, all over the business. It is designed to help you develop your professional and personal capabilities prior to your final year at university and give an opportunity to gain experience as an industry professional. It's a challenging scheme where you’ll receive plenty of support from your mentor, managers, and colleagues. On the Industrial Placement programme, you'll get to see the breadth of our business, working on valuable projects from day one. Typically, the role involves:

• Identifying and implementing opportunities to reduce manufacturing energy and carbon.
• Develop and improve energy digitalisation to grasp real time energy consumption
• Working alongside experienced Engineers and collaborating with our partners in the development of new technologies.

What we look for:

Alongside having a consistently excellent academic record, with a minimum 2:1 predicted degree result*, we are looking for people who actively want to learn from others and are motivated to take on new challenges with a positive mindset. We believe that there's always a better way, therefore if you share our values and thrive on analysing problems from different angles to develop solutions, you could go a long way with us. Similarly, taking a practical approach to your work is important – you will need to be as comfortable on the shop floor as you are in the office, conducting "go-look-see” activities to visualise problems and logically apply countermeasures with supporting data. You will often be leading and co-ordinating others in mixed teams of Production, Maintenance and Engineers, therefore good interpersonal skills and effective communication are essential to ensure teamwork across projects.
