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

First off breath and relax, you needn't get stressed out over a job, chances are you'll have one for most of your life so there's plenty of time to learn by experiences, good and bad, what you really enjoy doing.
In engineering it's important not to get tied up trying to show off how brilliant you are technically and academically, a lot of engineering is common sense and knowing how to present ideas in a way so that people can actually understand your way of seeing things. Therefore, communications skills are equally as important as knowing your field. In this particular company it is expected that graduates have both, in particular a healthy respect for all of your co-workers and to be able to communicate at all levels to anyone be they the Managing Director or Fabricator or Cleaner and so on.

Do you have any interview tips?

For this role there is a good mixture of interview, business games and presentation skills assessment. I'm aware that most people tend to be nervous in interviews so my advice is to understand that the people in that room are just people exactly like you.
All they expect is for you to be able to communicate clearly and concisely. I've always thought of interviews as a chance to show off how good you are for the job rather than a test and I've always made it through the interview stage, so think of that what you will. You will be absolutely fine in an interview so long as you don't lie, waffle on about irrelevant things or be too casual/unprofessional.
