Business IT Internship
KNOWING WHAT, WHERE, HOW, WHEN AND WHY REQUIRES REAL TALENT, NOT JUST CURIOSITY
SHARE YOUR PASSION
BMW Group Plant Hams Hall is a modern, state-of-the-art engine manufacturing facility, located just outside Birmingham, UK. Producing the latest generation of three- and four-cylinder petrol engines, and precision machining key engine components, the plant will soon be celebrating 25 years of production. Operating seven days a week, with more than one engine rolling off the line per minute, the plant plays a key role in BMW Group’s global production network, supplying engines for BMW and MINI, including some of the latest plug-in hybrid vehicles.
We believe in creating an environment where our placement student really can learn by doing during their time with us and where they are given their own areas of responsibilities from the start. That’s why our experts treat you as part of the team from day one, encourage you to bring your own ideas to the table – and give you the opportunity to really show what you can do. While you will be given the guidance and any support required throughout the duration of the internship, you will also be expected to manage your own projects.
