Job description

The Original British Motorcycling Company.

At Triumph, we are driven to make the best motorcycles in the world. Building iconic motorcycles that celebrate our past whilst embracing the future - through bold design, original styling, purposeful engineering and a genuine passion for the ride.

We are currently recruiting for a Student Design Engineer for a year-long placement. The placement will be based within the Design Department where your role will be similar to that of a full-time Design Engineer. The work will be real, interesting and relevant to your studies, helping to develop and test a broad range of skills drawn from the knowledge you have gained at University. The role will include 3D CAD design work, calculations, simulation, and technical drawings, as well as liaising with external suppliers and internal departments.

Students aren’t taken on as extra resource; they are needed to fulfil the role of an engineer and contribute to the design and development of a production motorcycle. The design department is made up of small, very focused design teams, which will give you the opportunity to quickly take on a position of high responsibility.

Preferred students should be studying a degree that has been accredited with the IMechE and meets the academic requirements of a Chartered Engineer (CEng). An Industrial Placement in Design is ideally suited to Mechanical and Automotive students.

Please note that this role is only open to undergraduates who need to undertake a year out in industry as part of their degree course for the academic year 2025-2026.

A variety of competitive benefits, including an enhanced holiday scheme, employee benefits platform and a favourable life assurance scheme. Motorcycle, clothing and accessories are available to purchase at a heavily discounted rate. An iconic place to work; join us for the ride!
