Job description

Apprentice Academy (UK) - Early Careers 2027

You might not know our name, but if you’ve ever watched a Formula 1 race, an endurance championship, or seen a high-tech aircraft take flight, you’ve seen our work in action.

Based in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, ATL is the world leader in liquid containment. We design and manufacture the world’s most advanced, crashworthy “fuel cells” – which, in our world, are ultra-tough, flexible, rubberised safety fuel bladders.

Think of them as puncture-proof fuel tanks engineered to withstand high-speed impacts and extreme conditions, keeping drivers, pilots, and defence personnel safe. From supplying the complete F1 grid for over 30years to keeping aerospace, defence, and marine platforms moving, our engineering saves lives and wins championships.

With a proud 50-year heritage and a rapidly expanding team, we are looking for passionate people to join us. You don’t need a background in motorsport to make an impact here, just a drive to build the extraordinary.
