Manufacturing Scheduling Placement

At Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains we offer a 12 month Manufacturing Scheduling Placement programme which will tap into your passion and determination to win, giving you a real opportunity to contribute to our success story. In Manufacturing we face the challenge of turning engineering designs into precision components in a fast paced environment, and managing the resources, people and stakeholders during these challenges is a key to our success.

As a Manufacturing Scheduling Placement student you’ll see first-hand the breadth of engineering within Formula 1. You will be playing a big part in ensuring deadlines are met and the manufacturing team is working efficiently. To achieve this you will work closely with key stakeholders within manufacturing (manufacturing cells/quality/manufacturing engineering) and around the business (programme management/purchasing/finance) to help turn engineering designs into components in world leading timescales. The role will include (but not be limited to):

• Production Order Management – Ensuring production orders are with operators in a timely manner and for the parts requested by the business
• Raw material management – Making sure raw material is available for the production orders when needed
• Scheduling – Working on which orders/parts should be prioritised
• Reporting – Reporting status to key stake holders throughout the business
• Subcontractor Management – Working on lead times with subcontractors to support business requirements

What can we offer you?

We offer the opportunity to work in a state of the art Technology Centre, being involved in exciting technological challenges alongside some of Formula 1’s best engineers, with the autonomy to engineer solutions from a clean sheet.

• A salary of £27,000 p/a
• Collective bonus 
• Company lease car scheme
• 36 days annual leave 
• Access to a generous pension scheme 
• Onsite Gym

What do we need from you? 

• A process orientated, tenacious and driven individual with a hunger to work in a fast paced environment
• You’ll be on track to achieve a 2.1 degree or above in a relevant area of study 
• A team player, able to build relationships across manufacturing and the wider business
• Good communication and project management skills
• A flexible and adaptable approach which will enable you to develop your skills
• An open and innovative mind, as most of the problems we solve are not run of the mill
• The courage to challenge and desire to be challenged, to expand your knowledge and skills with a focus on continuous improvement
• Practical, “hands-on” experience
• An understanding of engineering first principles is desirable but not essential
