As a diverse and international company we encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. If you are not an EEA or Swiss national you will need a work permit in order to work in the UK. If you possess a valid work permit or you will be able to attain one before our October start date please go ahead and apply.
Please note as this a training programme Renault would not offer sponsorship at this time.
Absolutely not! We have never and will never operate an age restriction on our Graduate Programme and welcome all applications regardless of age.
The structure of your Graduate Programme is tailored to both you and business requirements. Our Graduate Development Programme will expose you to the exciting world of automotive through a combination of skills training and work placements. You will spend time in our key commercial departments such as Sales, Aftersales, Total Customer Experience and Marketing, learning about our business and contributing to our success through challenging and rewarding projects.
You will drive your own development, supported throughout by coaching and mentoring from senior managers and HR professionals to ensure you reach your potential. At the end of the two years you will be rewarded with your first management position within the Renault Group. You can expect to develop your core skills and enjoy challenging work placements from day one.
Throughout the Graduate Programme you will be immersed in the company, its products and services. This means you will enjoy a range of training programmes from product training, legal courses, financing packages training, impact and presentation training to ensure you are well supported and equipped for your career ahead.
With a retail network that spans the whole of the UK and Ireland we pride ourselves on our flexibility and adaptability. You will initially be based at our head office in Maple Cross, just outside London. There will be opportunity to travel to other Renault sites over the course of the programme and in your second year you will be assigned to one of our sales regions, requiring you to be flexible on location.
Once you come to the end of your Graduate Programme you will be placed in your first management role which utilises your experience gained during the Graduate Programme.
One of the great advantages of working for Renault UK is it is part of a much larger global organisation. While international working is unlikely to take place during your training period we will expect you to interact and work with Renault associated organisations around the world. If this gives you a taste for international mobility it is definitely a future opportunity but we certainly think the UK is a great place to start and complete your Graduate Programme.
Certainly, there will be plenty of opportunity to network and socialise with both new and experienced graduates within the Renault Group.
Yes, we will consider each application on its own merit, even if you have been unsuccessful in the past.
