The opportunity
Here at Xtrac, our engineering graduates will commence the rotational programme in September 2024 with the first six months in our engineering department. We offer a busy and unique place of work, with both design and production under one roof, and exposure to different engineering disciplines including Design, R&D and Analysis.
Once this six months is completed, the scheme rotates through a four month core placement in commercial, quality, purchasing, programme management and the MSO. At the end of the two year programme, you will be offered the opportunity to undertake a potential three month placement in Xtrac Inc, either in Mooresville North Carolina, or Indianapolis.
If you would like to work in a fast-paced engineering environment, producing the world-leading transmissions for some of the world’s top motorsports teams and high-performance automotive manufacturers, then Xtrac is the place to be.
From day one, you’ll have the opportunity to dive headfirst into your role. You’ll have the freedom and responsibility to work on challenging projects and collaborate with other teams. You’ll also broaden your knowledge and gain insight into the business by taking on projects within or between other departments.
Entry requirements:
