Fortescue: does its industrial placement sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyIndustrial Placement (2027-2028), Jaguar TCS Racing

Unconfirmed. Fortescue publishes no sponsorship policy for its industrial placement, so we cannot state a firm answer. Fortescue's careers site lists seven Industrial Placement (2027-2028) roles with Jaguar TCS Racing, the Formula E team, all based in Kidlington, Oxfordshire, home of Fortescue's UK engineering business. Streams are Software, Design, Control Systems, Powertrain, R&D, and two Vehicle Performance roles (Strategy and Software, Simulation and Modelling). Placements run 12 months from September 2027 to August 2028. Applicants should be working towards a relevant degree, for example software engineering or computer science for the software role, or mechanical, aerospace, automotive, electronics, mechatronics, software or motorsport engineering for control systems. The adverts give no salary, no closing date and nothing about visas.

The catch: These sit under the Jaguar TCS Racing name on Fortescue's applicant system, so searching Fortescue's graduate programme pages (which are Australian) will not surface them. Each discipline is a separate advert and was posted between 2 and 25 September 2026.
