Graduate Trainee - Operations

Company Overview

KICK-START YOUR ENGINEERING CAREER WHERE INNOVATION MEETS IMPACT. At TT Electronics, we’re looking for enthusiastic and ambitious graduates to join our Operations Graduate Programme - a brand-new, two-year scheme designed to accelerate your development and set you up for a meaningful, long-term career in manufacturing operations.

Starting in September 2026, based at our Manufacturing facility in Abercynon, Wales
, this programme puts you right at the heart of our manufacturing operations. From day one, you’ll gain hands‑on experience and work on real projects that shape how our products are designed, built, and improved - all while supporting our global commitment to innovation and sustainability.

Through a series of hands‑on rotations across the manufacturing operation, you’ll gain real responsibility from day one. You’ll dive into production planning and scheduling within a fast‑paced environment, get directly involved in kitting and material availability, and play a key role in keeping operations running smoothly. Along the way, you’ll work on live continuous improvement projects, learning problem‑solving techniques, boosting yield, and helping drive productivity improvements that make a real impact on the business.

Upon successful completion of the two‑year scheme, you’ll have the opportunity to progress into a permanent role at TT Electronics, building a career that grows with you.

At TT, we’re committed to developing our graduates into leading technical professionals, and we’ll support you through your preferred route for professional development. From day one, you’ll be assigned a dedicated site buddy and functional mentor, giving you the guidance you need to thrive.

Throughout the scheme, you’ll develop valuable skills and hands‑on experience, with exposure to Lean principles and problem‑solving techniques.

Alongside role‑specific training, you’ll receive professional membership and support obtaining relevant certifications, providing industry recognition, access to learning resources and publications, networking and event opportunities, and enabling you to engage in volunteering that enhances both your experience and professional profile.

And it doesn’t stop there! Depending on your chosen career path, we’ll also fully fund and support you with your professional accreditation.

At TT Electronics, we’re proud of our values driven culture. Collaboration, innovation and integrity shape everything we do. You’ll be part of a business that believes in doing the right thing - for our people, our customers, and our environment.
