PROJECT/ PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME
JLR is on a journey, a journey to Reimagine. Our Reimagine strategy has set us on an exceptional journey of transformation, laying out a clear vision to become proud creators of modern luxury and become a carbon net zero business by 2039. Our work will set a new benchmark for luxury business in environmental, societal and community impact - and key to that is the way we deliver projects efficiently, on time and within budget.
As a Project/ Programme Management undergraduate, you’ll have the opportunity to make an impact on a range of exciting projects across JLR. Along the way, you’ll learn to focus on customer needs, adapt to changes quickly, and speed up delivery using Agile principles, helping us work smarter and get products to market faster.
During your programme, you could work within Vehicle Programmes, Industrial Operations Programme Delivery (IOPD) or Propulsion Engineering team.
Explore the different teams you could be a part of below. The team you’re placed in will depend on your personal preferences and business needs.
VEHICLE PROGRAMMES TEAM
Our Vehicle Programmes team span across Product Strategy, Programme Management, Business Transformation, Jaguar Electrified Architecture, Vehicle Technologies, Vehicle Accessories and Vehicle Personalisation. In short, we bring a full enterprise of divisions within JLR to deliver the high-quality, modern luxury our customers have come to expect and love.
As a Programme Management undergraduate, you’ll help support the integration of this enterprise - delivering commercially successful products on time and to quality standards, and ensuring we fulfil our brand and customer promise throughout their lifecycles.
If you join this team, you’ll have the opportunity rotate through a variety of placements both within and outside of Vehicle Programmes. You’ll use your innovation and creativity every day as you develop the skills you need to become a great leader. You’ll learn how to work in an Agile environment, improve your presentation skills, and build relationships with key stakeholders around the business.
With ongoing support from industry-leading experts, backed by continual learning opportunities, you’ll find working here as inspiring as the vehicles you’ll help to create.
INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS PROGRAMME DELIVERY TEAM
Uniting cross-functional teams, our Industrial Operations Programme Delivery team ensure we deliver the most sustainable manufacturing solution for all our vehicle and unit programmes.
In this team, you’ll learn how manufacturing delivers new programmes and vehicles from initial concept through to finished mass production. You’ll collaborate with key stakeholders from both within and outside the wider manufacturing group, including Manufacturing Engineering, Programme Management, Product Engineering and Quality.
As an undergraduate, you’ll support the tracking and resolution of manufacturing and programme issues to achieve product feasibility and ensure we deliver on time. You’ll input into areas such as launch quality deliverables, the high hurts process and Process Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (PFMEA). Finally, you’ll learn how to collect, co-ordinate and analyse technical and investment inputs for programme gateway submission, while focusing on capital investment and cost per unit.
PROPULSION ENGINEERING TEAM
Propulsion engineering at JLR is changing - bringing power, performance and connectivity together to create the future of exceptional and environmentally friendly driving experiences. Our iconic brands are the foundation of exemplary British engineering, but now we’re using cutting-edge research and technology to develop the next generation of electric drive units, energy storage devices, engines, batteries, transmissions and drivelines.
We’re a global team, with testing facilities and offices all around the world. With this kind of global presence and our £15bn investment in the electrification of our luxury brands, Propulsion is where modern luxury comes to life. And bringing all this together requires the input and expertise from specialists across the organisation to ensure that our programmes are on time, within budget and delivering exceptional quality to our customers.
Undergraduates in this team can expect to work on the software delivery plans for our battery and high-voltage (HV) control system – a product that will service all our future electrified platforms, including Range Rover Electric and Jaguar. Working in this team, you’ll plan and coordinate customer deliveries, while helping to prioritise content and resolve issues to keep us on schedule.
YOUR DEVELOPMENT
Our undergraduate programmes are designed to set you up for a lifetime of success, developing your curiosity and creativity over a period of 12 months.
From day one, you’ll be surrounded by an innovative and dedicated team that care about your development. You’ll build essential business skills, including resilience, personal branding, and self-care. Working alongside experienced professionals, you’ll gain valuable industry insights while bringing your academic knowledge to life. Shadowing opportunities will further deepen your understanding of our business and enhance your technical expertise.
Throughout your journey, our Early Careers Delivery team will provide continuous support and guidance, ensuring you make the most of every opportunity. By the time you finish, you’ll be equipped to tackle the challenges of a rapidly changing industry and ready to make a meaningful impact.
