Welcome to Cummins. We are a global power leader and a corporation of complementary business units that design, manufacture, distribute and service engines and related technologies, including fuel systems, controls, air handling, filtration, emission solutions and electrical power generation systems.

Trust us when we say, “you’ll never have another opportunity to work at a place like Cummins.”

It’s where ideas as crazy as a whisper-quiet, environmentally-friendly generator are dreamed up, built and celebrated. This is where innovations are born from a commitment to simply doing what's right for our customers, for our professionals and for the planet. Yes, it's different here. And yes, you'll love it.

Our people are imaginative, creative, knowledgeable and committed to helping us create leading edge products for our customers that really do make a difference.

If you tick all those boxes, then you’ll need to know what education disciplines and qualifications we’re looking for.

• Engineering students aiming towards a 2.1 or higher.
• BSc or MSc in Mechanical Engineering are particularly sought after.
• Other subjects suitable for our positions include, aeronautical, automotive or manufacturing engineering and Computer Aided Engineering, as well as Sales & Marketing, Supply Chain, Finance, Business and HR.

We have a preference for graduates who have undertaken a 4 year programme including a year’s work experience in a manufacturing or commercial environment. If your degree had shorter work placements, then again we will be looking for relevant experience. 



We’re global and take great pride in offering opportunities for career moves to any of the 14 countries in which we have main sites. For this, we are keen to look for graduates with a second language and/or experience of other countries and cultures.

However more importantly, the emphasis you place on commitment and dedication to your career aspirations plus your people skills, combined with a natural communication style are the attributes that will determine the speed with which you progress.

So, if you’d like to be part of a global manufacturing business that’s focused on innovation and on helping our neighbours, then apply now. Most of our UK sites offer a wide range of 12 month Placement and Graduate positions and are near to major cities (Birmingham, Newcastle, Leeds) so you can continue to have an active student social life!
