Hybrid working is potentially available, depending on the area and manager. JLR is a multi‑site business, and you’ll be required to spend time working with different departments at several locations.

You’ve picked the perfect time to take the first step on an extraordinary career path with JLR’s apprenticeship programme and be at the forefront of tomorrow’s technology. Experience first‑hand how innovation shapes the future of mobility. Arrive as you are. Achieve the exceptional.

Our Level 6 Applied Professional Engineering Programme Degree Apprenticeship is aimed at those with a passion for learning and innovation. We’re reimagining the future of automotive, refining the quality of our combustion engines and expanding into electrification. As an Applied Professional Engineering Degree Apprentice, you will become a multi‑disciplinary engineer, developing digital technology solutions for modern luxury vehicles that are renowned for their desirability and performance.

This four‑year programme adheres to the Skills England Product Development and Design (Degree) Apprenticeship standard. The apprentice will develop the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs) outlined in the standard, which will be assessed during an End Point Assessment (EPA).

Electronics drives most innovations in modern vehicles. As an Electrical and Electronics Engineer, you will learn electronic circuit design, power electronics, embedded safety‑critical system design, programming, and more.

Your apprenticeship will provide hands‑on experience and career‑building skills while you work at the forefront of the automotive industry. You’ll build practical skills, deepen foundational knowledge, and develop essential business behaviours such as teamwork and problem‑solving, supported by a JLR early careers cohort leader, university team and line manager. The programme culminates in a BEng (Hons) in Applied Professional Engineering from the University of Warwick.

Delivered through a combination of online study, face‑to‑face lectures, and independent learning each week. You’ll apply university learning to real‑world projects and study modules that build essential knowledge, skills and behaviours, with regular process reviews for support.

Modules related to your chosen specialism – Electrical and Electronic Technical Support – are completed. The final year includes a work‑based project and EPA, allowing you to apply skills gained throughout the programme. Successful completion leads to a Level 6 Apprenticeship and new responsibilities.

Engineering Operations underpin technical innovation and product delivery with programme management, tools, processes and specialist technical services. Roles span project management, information management, data analytics, prototype building and testing. You may work with Operations, Prototype Operations, Electrical and Software, Prototype Battery Build or Test Operations teams, building and maintaining Labcars, facilitating testing, or developing Electro‑Mechanical Test Bench‑on‑Hardware in Loop (HIL) solutions.
