FTE: I (35 hours per week) Contract type: Fixed Term (3 months) The National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) is a world-class innovation centre focused on transforming manufacturing through cutting-edge research, advanced technologies, and industry collaboration. Our work spans all aspects of manufacturing, from engineering and digital automation to supply chain optimization, sustainability and skills. We are seeking enthusiastic individuals with a passion for learning to join our 2026 Internship programme. With a wide variety of internship opportunities available across our centres – including the Manufacturing Skills Academy, Digital Factory, Advanced Forming Research Centre, DPMC, Lightweight Manufacturing Centre and Operations (Marketing, Business Development, Estates, Quality…) – we welcome applications from students across all academic disciplines who have not previously undertaken an internship with NMIS. Opportunities cover technical, research, business improvement and creative projects. We don’t expect you to have all the knowledge and skills when you arrive—this is primarily a learning opportunity, and we provide all the training you need. This is a full-time (35 hours) opportunity for 3 months, starting in June 2026. The roles will be based at our NMIS centres or with an external company across Scotland and the UK. As part of your application, you will need to upload an up-to-date CV and complete the supporting statement demonstrating how you meet the person specification listed below. Applications close on Sunday 1 March 2026. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend an Insights Day on Monday 23rd March 2026 at the NMIS site at Netherton. The Insights Day will be an opportunity for candidates to meet the project leads and find out more about the projects available. Formal interviews will be held between 1 April 2026 and 30 April 2026. Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Manufacturing Skills Academy (NMIS-STEM @strath.ac.uk).
