The Rotational Technical Excellence Program (RTEP) is a two-year rotational commitment designed to develop and accelerate the next generation of engineers. As you move through the rotation you won’t be alone. A team leader, mentor and ambassador will be by your side to keep you on the road to success.

Following the completion of the program you will take the technical and leadership skills gained from the rotation and transition into a non-rotational role.
We attract top engineering talent who are passionate about using deep technical skills to innovate and solve problems. You will be given challenging projects of strategic importance that will help our customers and add to the growth of the business.
