Responsibilities

You’ll be placed in one of our high-performing teams, working on real engineering challenges and contributing to projects that make a difference to our clients, our communities, and the world. From day one you’ll be treated like a valued team member, collaborating, problem-solving and seeing how your degree applies in practice.

You Can Expect To

• Work alongside experienced engineers on live projects
• Gain hands‑on technical skills and exposure to cutting‑edge tools
• Learn about different areas of the business and career paths available
• Develop your professional network with mentors, peers, and industry contacts
• Present your work at the end of the program, showcasing what you’ve achieved

Qualifications

We’re looking for students who demonstrate:

• A genuine interest in building a career in consulting engineering
• Curiosity, creativity and a willingness to learn
• Strong teamwork, communication, and problem‑solving skills
• Initiative and the confidence to take on challenges

Additional qualifications:

• Currently studying towards your mechanical or mechatronics engineering degree at a Malaysian university (undergraduate or postgraduate)
