Sperry Marine is a leading supplier of navigation, communication, information, and automation systems for commercial marine and naval markets. Headquartered in the United Kingdom, we have an extensive international presence across Europe, the Americas and Asia, employing almost 400 people across ten countries. We have an exciting 12 month placement opportunity in our Systems Group for an undergraduate currently studying for a degree in a relevant STEM subject. This placement will be at our head office in New Malden, Surrey. The role will involve experiencing what it is to be a Systems, and Systems Test, Engineer through active participation in our ongoing projects, working alongside industry experts. As part of the Project Team, through interactions and work, you will be exposed to the different disciplines that make up the team, from internal customers in the Product Line Management Team, right through to the customer facing Service Team. Along with your fellow Placement Students you will also have opportunities to work on side projects that will utilise and grow your skills, whilst completing and delivering tasks that will progress activities within the department. You will ultimately have the opportunity to learn how full lifecycle product development works in the real-world, allowing you to gain an understanding of the various development processes involved, and what it means to work as a team towards a common goal through your collaboration with the wider Engineering Team. To support your growth and ability to achieve your goals, you would have access to various forms of training and learning. This can include anything from knowledge transfer sessions with subject matter experts within the team, to more formal training sessions or workshops that may be geared towards understanding how to perform certain tasks, understanding process, or how to use certain tools. We fully expect you to put into practice skills you have learnt on your course so far, and once complete take back your experiences into the final years of your course.
