Remarkable people, trusted by clients to design and advance the world.

Join Wood this summer for hands-on experience in mechanical / mechatronics engineering between December 2025 - February 2026.  Work on real-world projects alongside experienced engineers, bridging classroom theory with practical application.  Perfect opportunity to develop technical skills in design and analysis while gaining valuable industry experience for your future career.

Looking to make the most of your summer while your friends are lying on the beach?  Why not get ahead, gain real-world experience, and build networks that will set you up for your future career?  Our Summer Vacation Program in Engineering gives you the opportunity to work on meaningful projects, learn from industry professionals, and see what life is really like as an engineer in a global organisation.

We’re looking for ambitious, curious and driven engineering students to join us for an 8–12 week paid placement over the university summer break.  Whether you’re in your penultimate year, final year, or somewhere in between (just not your first year), this is your chance to turn theory into practice.
