We have opportunities for engineers in the following areas: Tribology Engineering, Automotive Test Engineering, Automotive Field Test Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Control and Instrumentation Engineering.

Working as a Mechanical Engineer, you will gain experience of working in a testing environment, helping to support the running of tests in the department on engines, rigs and vehicles.

As a student with us you will be planning and preparing your own work and leading projects, communicating with your team and other departments on site. Over the 12 months you will also be involved in design, manufacture and commissioning of new test rigs and test components which will provide you with experience manufacturing and assembly techniques. You will also be operating on systems such as CAD/CAM and use basic principles of mechanical engineering to develop solutions to problems.

Electrical Control and Instrumentation Engineering

The control and Instrumentation teams form part of the Test Support group within Lubrizol Mechanical Testing. Throughout the year you will be required to take concepts, perform research and design workable and cost-effective solutions which could then be tested and documented. You will be involved with aiding the commissioning on new test programs and installations and you will gain experience in the design and maintenance of electrical and control systems. You will also be gaining experience of engineering programs and software e.g. Matlab, Labview and Dewesoft.

At Lubrizol, we have a wide range of placements available across a number of different disciplines. At our Hazelwood site, for Science and Chemistry students, we also offer lab based roles within Component Science, Applied and Strategic Research and Blend Test Services.
