Engineering and Technology Graduate Scheme

• Candidates must hold or be on track to achieve a minimum of 2:2 BEng/BSc or MEng/MSc in electrical, electronic, systems or mechatronic engineering, or a closely related subject accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Candidates with IET accredited pure Mechanical Engineering degrees are only considered for the Systems Engineering stream.
• Candidates must have the right to work in the UK for the duration of the scheme. The role is not eligible for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker visa scheme.

Participants receive on-the-job practical experience, training, mentoring, and networking opportunities. One-to-one guidance is provided by a placement manager, scheme sponsor, buddy, and development adviser.

TfL seeks candidates who are:

• Caring about colleagues, customers, and work
• Open to each other, new ideas, and working together
• Adaptable to diverse needs and willing to innovate

After completing the scheme, participants are expected to join one of TfL’s engineering or technology teams in a permanent role. Career development continues through a variety of assignments, with increasing responsibility and opportunities to lead engineering solutions and collaborate with stakeholders. Many alumni have progressed into senior engineering leadership and strategic roles within TfL.

Benefits include free travel on the TfL network for the participant and a nominee, final salary pension scheme, discounted National Rail and Eurostar travel, 30 days annual leave (pro rata), private healthcare discounted scheme, tax-efficient cycle-to-work programme, and various retail, health, leisure, and travel offers.

The application process consists of five steps, including online assessments. Assessment centres take place from December to January, in person and virtually (role dependent).

TfL is committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion, and guarantees an interview to any disabled candidate who meets all essential criteria.

Candidates are encouraged to upload qualification certificates to their application. If they are due to sit final exams or need to replace any certificates, these must be provided at a later stage.

Candidates will receive information and guidance around each assessment stage as they progress through the application. There is one week to complete online assessments and TfL cannot re-issue these tests once the deadline passes.
