Frazer‑Nash are a leading engineering, systems and technology consultancy. Through our meaningful innovations, our experts help organisations make lives securer, safer, sustainable and affordable.

In a nutshell, engineering consultancy is all about providing advice to positively impact our clients’ projects and businesses and the wider world around us.

As a Year in Industry (YII) Student, you will typically be working on multiple projects simultaneously, managing your time and rapidly accruing a wealth of experience and skills. Hence, no two days in Frazer‑Nash will be the same.

With recent rapid technological advances, the world faces an unprecedented array of complex engineering challenges and opportunities. The systems engineers in our teams take pride in providing our clients with innovative and meaningful solutions to their problems. As a YII Student, you’ll be surrounded by a welcoming and collaborative technical community to ensure you deliver, impact, learn, and excel. This community includes your graduate and YII peers and those in the first few years of their careers through to internationally recognised experts with many decades of experience.

Given the multidisciplinary and collaborative nature of our work you will be supporting not just your immediate teams, but also a range of fields – whether it’s engineering, digital or human sciences, we’re an interesting bunch.

We have a comprehensive Early Careers package that will help you successfully integrate into our business and meet new colleagues from across the organisation – last year we had over 100 Graduates, interns and summer placements and we are looking for a similar sized cohort this year so you will be joining with a large and vibrant peer group.

This will involve working on a range of cutting‑edge projects, spanning from feasibility studies; horizon scanning; technology road‑mapping; concept development; options analysis; systems design architecture; requirements elicitation; systems engineering management; reliability and supportability engineering analysis.

Through a range of analytical and practical engineering techniques, you will enable our clients to influence the whole life solution. You will apply systems thinking across the lifecycle to ensure the solution meets the customer’s true needs. You will ensure it is reliable, maintainable and sustainable.
