Industrial Placement - Quality Projects

Job description

#BeExtraordinary

Every idea, every invention and every industry started with an extraordinary moment, a big bang, a meeting of minds, a merging of futures. Let this be your moment and start your extraordinary career today. Bentley has a rich history of best in class luxurious motor vehicles, we have built on this reputation to become the most contemporary luxury car brand in the world, to maintain this we only hire the best Industrial Placements.

Historically Quality was often seen as a checking activity. Here at Bentley, Quality is about preventing issues not reporting them. Over 80% of our team have roles that are active in preventing issues happening, whether it be planning for effective quality by setting early requirements and lessons learned with our development team, working with suppliers to design parts right first time or doing root cause analysis in the part maturation phases to get robust solutions to any issue. Couple that with experience in a modern and well equipped measurement and lab facility and the opportunity to be involved in reliability testing of all our luxury cars, the scope for learning and development is wide and varied.

Whilst the successful applicant will focus towards starting a career within our quality department, the IP programme will provide you with a wide range of skills, focus and experience to start the journey towards becoming our next generation of business leaders and technical experts. In the New projects team, we are active in ensuring that quality is a key factor from the concept through to start of production and beyond. By gathering customer and industry data, experience of our latest products and working closely with our colleagues in engineering and manufacturing we ensure that the mistakes of the past do not live on into the future.

Our programme is second to none. Working with the support of your Sponsoring Manager, you will be actively contributing to live business projects; leading initiatives in the local community that support our commitment to CSR; developing your German language skills; continuing professional development and developing your network of fellow IPs and colleagues across both Bentley and the wider VW Group.
