2025 Tetra Engineering Mechanical Engineering Industrial Placement

Tetra Engineering is a engineering consultancy working in the power generation sector. We specialise in providing engineering and technical support to owners and operators of CCGT power plants, as well as other thermal plants. We have an office near Nice in France, and our headquarters is in Connecticut, USA. We support projects worldwide and this includes hands-on fieldwork and back office engineering analysis.

We will be providing a remunerated student industrial placement starting between June and July 2026 for a 12-month duration. This will be a very good opportunity for the student to apply the theory learnt in the first few years of study to real world engineering problems. In addition, they would do this in a young, international atmosphere with the opportunity for fieldwork and foreign travel.
