Manufacturing Scheduling Placement

Manufacturing, Supply Chain.

At Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains, we offer a 12-month Manufacturing Scheduling Placement programme which will tap into your passion and determination to win, giving you a real opportunity to contribute to our on-track success story.

In Manufacturing we face the challenge of turning highly IP sensitive, engineering designs into precision components, in a high pressure, fast-paced environment. Managing the resources, people and stakeholders during these challenges is the key to delivering performance and translating that into success.

As a Manufacturing Scheduling Placement student, you’ll see first-hand the breadth of engineering within Formula 1. This role is central to ensuring designs move from concept to finished parts in world-leading timescales.

You’ll gain exposure to supply chain management, production control, and reporting - supporting the decisions that keep programmes on track. You’ll play a vital role in ensuring deadlines are met and that the manufacturing team operates efficiently.

  • Production Control & Scheduling – Managing production orders, prioritising workloads, and ensuring alignment between demand and shop floor capacity.
  • Supply Chain Management – Coordinating material availability, monitoring lead times, and managing subcontractor relationships to support business requirements.
  • Reporting & Data Management – Using Excel skills to schedule, track progress, and provide accurate updates to stakeholders, whilst maintaining accurate inventory levels in our ERP system (SAP).
  • Business Integration – Working with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Programme Management, and Procurement to ensure smooth workflow across functions.

What we’re looking for

  • Organised, proactive, and able to prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Analytical mindset with attention to detail and a focus on delivery.
  • A personable approach, able to build effective working relationships across teams.
  • Resilience and adaptability to maintain productivity when under pressure.
  • Comfortable with basic Excel skills. SAP experience is desirable but not essential.
  • Interest in production control, scheduling, and supply chain management.
  • You’ll be on track to achieve a 2.1 degree or above in a relevant area of study.

What can we offer you?

We offer the opportunity to work in a state-of-the-art Technology Centre, being involved in exciting technological challenges alongside some of Formula 1’s best engineers, with the autonomy to engineer solutions from a clean sheet.

Our benefits package includes:

  • A salary of £30,000 p/a
  • Collective bonus
  • Company lease car scheme
  • 36 days' annual leave
  • Access to a generous pension scheme
  • Onsite Gym
  • A variety of other benefits and staff discounts
