A UK-founded engineering and environmental consultancy with UK sites near Brighton and in Leamington Spa, offering a two-year graduate programme.
Ricardo is an engineering consultancy that helps customers with engineering, production and technology. Its markets include automotive, maritime, aerospace and defence, and energy and industrial. The graduate programme we could read is in automotive and industrial engineering, so the energy link is through electrification and industrial work rather than a dedicated energy scheme.
We did not find a formal mission statement on the page we read. Ricardo describes its culture as collaborative, inclusive and innovation-focused.
UK locations named are near Brighton and in Leamington Spa. Other graduate sites are in Detroit and Prague, so check you apply to the UK role.
The page emphasises diverse perspectives, expert mentorship and networking, and that graduates can become STEM ambassadors. These are Ricardo's own claims.
The Global Automotive and Industrial Graduate Programme is a two-year scheme starting each September, with up to four placements. UK recruitment runs in December to January. Pathways include mechanical engineering, embedded software and controls, and electrification. Graduates work towards CEng or IEng with a mentor and fees covered.
