Access a bigger professional market
Work with a US team, earn in dollars and build contacts beyond the UK. Whether you want a placement year, a graduate internship or professional training, we arrange a role connected to your background.
Connect the placement with your degree or career plan
For a UK placement year, the practical question is whether the work, dates and supervision satisfy your university. For an employed engineer, it is what the training adds to your current experience. Share your technical specialism, examples of completed work and the areas you want to develop.
The work you could do
We match your background to the employer and role. Typical areas of work include:
- Support CAD and design documentation
- Contribute to prototype or testing processes
- Analyse quality information and root causes
- Review industrial processes under supervision
Prepare for your employer interviews
Mechanical, electrical, industrial and related engineering study or professional experience.
Describe relevant modules, design projects, laboratory work and technical tools. Be specific about what you modelled, tested or measured and how your contribution was supervised. If you have professional experience, explain the responsibilities you already hold and the areas where further development would be useful.
Your paid placement, arranged before departure
Aureus prepares you for employer interviews, secures your paid placement and coordinates the J-1 process. Your proposal sets out the programme fee and guarantee before you enrol; your employer offer confirms the role, hours, location and pay. Budget separately for travel and living costs where these are not included.
Questions for your next step
Will this automatically count towards professional accreditation?+
No automatic recognition is promised. Your university or professional body determines whether the experience meets its requirements; review the proposed duties and supervision with them.
