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. 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.

This is a role within our Systems Engineering stream at Frazer‑Nash. You will support across all markets including Defence, Energy, Transport and Industrial. Within these areas you will be involved in the delivery of a diverse range of projects, working at:

• Enterprise Level: Considering a whole programme, whole company, industry sector or government finding sustainable solutions to world problems.
• Technology Level: Looking at the detail of a system, and how it operates and interacts with users.

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 customers true needs. You will ensure it is reliable, maintainable and sustainable.
