Marketing and Events Management Industrial Placement Scheme 2025

This is a great opportunity to be in a new part of our business within the Burnaston Refurb & Customisation centre (BRC). The BRC work both with internal team members and external partners on projects within the vehicle lifecycle, including accessory fitments, customisation & conversions, servicing, repair and remarketing of used vehicles. Our latest project is looking at how to recycle end of life vehicles back into new vehicles.

You will join a great group of individuals that make up a successful team. We have ambitious plans to grow the department significantly over the next few years, which includes winning new business and increasing the size of the team.

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.

BRC is a rapidly evolving department and there are many areas and projects which you could be involved in/exposed to, as new projects are added to the portfolio.

Working within the corporate team you will be supporting the development of our network, working with stakeholders both within TMUK and beyond. We are adopting a "One Team” approach working with our partners Toyota Motor Europe and Toyota Great Britain. Through these networks you will support the team with insightful analysis and recommendations on future business opportunities to aid senior management decision making.

You will be given real opportunity to influence how the BRC runs through your activities.

As the BRC seeks new opportunities and customers, hosting visits, managing marketing and presenting what we have to offer becomes a large part of this role. You’ll therefore be involved in planning, organising and hosting various events. Great organisational skills and an ability to communicate well representing the company are therefore must haves for this position.

IP projects could include:

• Designing product promotion material
• Planning and coordinating VIP events
• Understanding market demands with our sales team to make recommendations on future profitable projects

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 eagerly 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. BRC is a fast-paced environment where teamworking matters, therefore good interpersonal skills and effective communication are essential to ensure collaboration across projects. You’ll need great organisational skills and be competent in Microsoft Office applications.

Applications from all degree disciplines are welcome to ensure we create a diverse workforce.
