Bentley Motors is to create 65 new vacancies in 2026 as part of the company’s early careers programme.
The Crewe-based luxury car maker, which employs around 3,000 people across South Cheshire, has welcomed its 2025 early careers cohort of apprentices, industrial placements and graduates.
Now it has unveiled plans for more openings next year, which it says “reaffirms Bentley’s commitment to future talent”.
Bentley is progressing its Beyond100+ strategy that aims for full electrification of its model line and the completion of its iconic Dream Factory in Crewe.
Dr Karen Lange, member of the board for People and Culture at Bentley Motors, said: “Our early careers programme is key to moulding the future of our company.
“It is vital we recruit the necessary developing skills that will push the business forward in such a transformative industry.
“These opportunities are a sign of our continued commitment to emerging talent and we aim to recruit ambitious, diverse people who can drive innovation and are equipped with the passion and future skills that can continue to bring our Beyond100+ strategy to life and redefine luxury in the automotive industry.”
Of the new 65 positions available, 41 one-year industrial placement roles are open now and 24 three or four-year apprentice roles will be available from February 2026.
Ten industrial placements from the 2024/2025 cohort will be returning as graduates next year.
The roles available cover all functions of the business from design to development and manufacturing to marketing.
Will Meredith was industrial placement of the year in 2024 in corporate strategy and transformation.
He said: “The placement pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way.
“Professionally, I gained practical experience in strategic analysis, stakeholder engagement, and presenting to senior audiences – all skills that go far beyond what you learn at university.
“I contributed to projects that I never thought I’d be able to, something that would not have been possible without my amazing team.
“Personally, I developed greater confidence, especially in leading conversations and navigating complex challenges.”
