Electrical & Electronic Graduate Scheme

Designs and tests electrical and electronic systems for JCB machinery, including circuit design, wiring harnesses, touchscreen programming, system verification and future technology development.

Minimum Entry Criteria - You’ll need to be near to, or have completed within the last 2 years, an appropriate bachelor’s or master’s degree such as Electrical Controls, Electrical Systems, Electrical & Electronic and must be on track to secure a 2:1 or higher.

Unfortunately, JCB is unable to offer visa sponsorship or immigration support for its Emerging Talent Schemes, either now or in the future. This includes individuals currently on sponsored visas.

This will be suited to you if…

You’re dedicated, passionate, hands-on, willing to learn and have a relevant university project or work experience behind you. You’ll be a truly logical thinker, great problem solver and a tenacious, inquisitive graduate. What’s more, your fresh approach and desire to always challenge the norm and think creatively will be underpinned by a safety-conscious approach and the desire to succeed in a fast-paced environment.

What does the Electrical & Electronic Graduate Scheme involve day to day?

We’re investing into the future of our business and, as an Electrical & Electronic Engineering Graduate, you’ll be a crucial part of that. You’ll undertake tailored placements that perfectly suit your career aspirations, contributing to large scale projects – not just working on one small section of the machine, but on large systems or the entire machine architectures.

There’s also the chance to get stuck into a more commercially focused placement to experience engineering from a unique perspective. This is a scheme for those who have a unique view of the work they’re doing and want to have their voice heard in a high-impact environment.

What could I be doing?

• Touch screen display programming covering both front-end UI and backend coding techniques
