Common questions

When do engineering industrial placement applications open?

Most open in September and October. The first engineering industrial placement we tracked this cycle opened on 1 Sept 2026 (Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team), and the most recent on 31 Oct 2026 (Mott MacDonald). Many review applications as they arrive, so the strongest position is to apply in the first weeks a role is open.

How many engineering industrial placements are open right now?

180 are open now, from 16 employers. 11 close in the next 7 days. The count updates as roles open and close.

When do engineering industrial placement applications close?

Deadlines for the roles open now run from 5 Nov 2026 to 16 Jan 2027, with half closing by 12 Nov 2026. 55 have a rolling deadline, which means applications are reviewed as they arrive and the role can close before its stated date.

Do engineering industrial placements sponsor visas?

None of the 180 open roles currently state that they offer visa sponsorship. Many don't mention it either way, so check the employer's page before you apply.

I've missed the deadline. Is it worth applying?

Usually no. Once a deadline passes, the employer's application form closes. Roles with rolling deadlines can also close before their stated date, so the safest plan is to apply in the first few weeks a role is open. Each closed role keeps its page here with the date it opened, so you can plan for the next round.
