EASY APPLYNEW

As a graduate mechanical engineer at TTP, you will work within multi-disciplinary project teams to invent new products and technologies that will positively impact the individuals who use them.

You will be involved in all aspects of technology and product development: from invention, to analysis, to prototype design and transfer to manufacture. The diversity in our work means that you can find yourself making a difference in a wide range of applications as vast as making cancer diagnosis faster and cheaper, building a state-of-the-art drug delivery devices and enabling a net zero world through greener energy production.

You will have the opportunity to work on multiple such projects at any one time, so over a year at TTP your experiences and applications will be vast, and you can expect to develop and expand your understanding of entirely new fields of science and technology rapidly.

Alongside your technical work, you will also develop as a consultant. This means engaging directly with clients to present your findings, ensuring their requirements are fully understood and met. As you gain experience, you will have opportunities to lead projects, build teams, and manage client relationships. You\'ll also help expand TTP\'s reach by representing us at conferences, building connections, and engaging with new clients to help grow our client base.

We believe growth happens best in an environment where knowledge is shared freely and curiosity is encouraged. You\'ll receive mentorship and guidance when needed, but also the space and trust to take initiative, explore your interests, and shape your own development. You\'ll be encouraged to contribute early, take ownership of your work, and collaborate across disciplines to deliver impactful solutions.
