Design Engineering Intern, 12 Months

At McLaren Racing, we believe only by chasing performance in everything we do can we give ourselves the best chance of success. Performance on track and in the factory. Performance for our people, our business and our partners. It’s about more than winning. It’s about hitting the highest standards, and then raising the bar again.

Please note this role will close at 11:59pm on 26th May and no further applications will be accepted.


We will be hosting an assessment day at the McLaren Technology Centre in late June. We will confirm the timings at a later date.
