Support & Effort

'Working well as a team matters more than people expect. Being supportive and helping others when they need it always pays off when you need it back. It takes a real team effort to get two cars on track, and that ability to work well with others is one of the most important skills you can bring. My advice for anyone applying for a placement at Williams: bring genuine energy to everything you do. People notice it, and it leaves a lasting impression.'

Freddie Smith
Logistic Operations - Industrial Placement

Speed & Support

'Racing is fast-paced and unpredictable, and that's what makes it exciting. To keep up, you need to stay flexible and adapt quickly. But the real takeaway is teamwork. You can't do this alone - relying on the people around you is what makes the whole operation work.'

Leila Humphrey
Operations Analyst - Industrial Placement

Prepare & Apply

'Take the time to understand the role before you apply. It'll come across in your application and interview. It's also worth applying to a few different types of roles rather than just one. Beyond that: stay curious, ask plenty of questions, and back yourself.'

Mich Nemec
Manufacturing Project Engineer - Industrial Placement

Placements
