We’re not talking about role-playing or shadowing here. You’ll be a member of the Mars team and you’ll be treated as such. You will have real in role delivery of our Engineering Project work in 2011. These projects are centred on ensuring food & human safety standards, capacity increases and product innovation. Typically, you will be involved in the, design, installation and commissioning of new equipment or modification and optimisation of existing machines. This means facing up to challenges, meeting tough deadlines, and securing collaboration from senior colleagues.
You’ll have to show us what you’re made of, but at the same time, you’ll receive really intelligent support. A manager will be appointed to lead and mentor you, and our strong team ethos means there’ll always be people around to provide support, encouragement and practical help when you need it.

The benefits of our experience…
The pay is just the most obvious benefit.
