University engineering students across Europe now have the chance to land the career opportunity of a lifetime in Formula One, as Infiniti announces the launch of the 2015 Infiniti Performance Engineering Academy.
Now in its second year, the one-of-a-kind global search for the world’s best up-and-coming engineering undergraduates offers the unique opportunity to work with four-time World Championship-winning team Infiniti Red Bull Racing as well as for Infiniti itself.
“Last year’s pilot program uncovered three outstanding candidates – including one from the UK,” said Francois Goupil De Bouille, Vice President, Infiniti EMEA. “This year, we are taking it a step further by increasing the number of global places to five and guaranteeing at least one place goes to a student from Europe. In an industry that is notoriously difficult to get into, this is an unprecedented chance for talented young engineers.”
Candidates will go through a three stage process, starting by submitting their CVs and a video answering the question ‘Why do I deserve this opportunity?’ This will be followed by a Skype interview and then an in-depth profile analysis by Infiniti and Infiniti Red Bull Racing senior management. Ten will then be selected in each market to attend their regional finals to complete a series of engineering and teamwork tasks, judged by an expert panel from Infiniti and Infiniti Red Bull Racing. One winner form each region will go on to secure the 12-month placement.
