Work experience

Internships

You could choose either a summer internship or a year in industry… either way it’s an amazing chance to work on the kinds of projects that directly drive our performance on and off the track. Internship offer a great way to gain hands-on experience and try out a potential career. We offer numerous internships throughout the year to interested candidates who are over 18 years old and are currently studying at a UK University. Candidates must demonstrate their interest in McLaren as well as the business or functional area they wish gain experience in.

Apprenticeships

If you want to get your career in the automotive industry started while continuing your education and gaining qualifications, our Apprenticeship programme is for you. We offer a variety of apprenticeship programmes covering a range of disciplines.

Graduate programme

We want to work with people who have completed their bachelors or masters degrees and are looking for a programme that provides a supportive environment, huge breadth of experiences, career-defining mentoring, and industry leading experts to learn from. Whilst we don't currently have an open graduate scheme window, if you are a recent graduate and you are keen to start your career with McLaren, we have a number of opportunities on our careers site that may be suitable for you. If you are interested, you can search these roles, set up job alerts, create your profile and join our talent community. We'll share here when our structured program window opens.
