What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Make sure you taylor your application around the companies core values, which are listed on the website. Make yourself familiar with what the company does and possibly mention some of their previous projects to show you have really taken an interest into the company, not just in engineering. Mention something you have done at University that relates to the post you are applying for, and any awards/prizes you have to make you stand out. Companies also want to hear about your life away from work, so make sure you include hobbies as this is always a good talking point should you get an interview.

Do you have any interview tips?

Have set examples for a number of competency questions. These tend to be standard questions every employer asks; 'tell me about a time when....' Having an example for each question you can be asked ready will ensure you dont get tongue-tied with nothing to say.
