VCA Graduate Training Scheme

Graduate requirements

You should have achieved or be on target to achieve an IMechE accredited Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering or Electrical Engineering, or another closely linked engineering discipline.

You should have the right to work in the UK.

Because VCA travel to manufacturers, proving grounds and test facilities all over the country and overseas, it is essential you have a valid driving licence and are willing to travel.

Due to our increasing presence overseas, in countries like China, Japan, Italy, Malaysia, South Korea and soon to be Brazil, any language skills you possess would be an advantage but are not a mandatory requirement.

VCA work with new and constantly developing technologies with a range of manufacturers and vehicle types and so would appeal to a graduate with a genuine interest in automotive technologies, cars and vehicles.

We are looking for graduates who can demonstrate their ability in the following IMechE essential competencies:

Ability to use a combination of general and specialist mechanical engineering knowledge and understanding to optimise the application of existing and emerging technology
Ability to apply appropriate theoretical and practical methods to the analysis and solution of engineering problems
Ability to provide technical and commercial leadership
Demonstrate effective interpersonal skills
Demonstrate a personal commitment to professional standards, recognising obligations to society, the profession and the environment
