Our goal is to have a robust pipeline of projects delivering against the current and future needs of our consumers, meeting and exceeding sustainability goals and increasing business productivity.

We have projects in the areas of packaging materials, technologies, and structures. During this placement you will manage a range of projects depending on your academic background, interests, and our pipeline.

Scouting and ideation are important areas of focus, and you will work with internal and external partners and stakeholders to help deliver exciting new ideas into our pipeline.

You will also be responsible for scoping and defining suitable validation studies, conducting testing, analysing data, and producing insights to refine our propositions.

Managing projects / key activities (timelines and deliverables) for both internal and external partners (depending on background and preference);

Scouting and ideating new concepts with the team and our partners;

Conducting literature research;

Prototyping new concepts with internal and external partners;

Defining validation approaches;

Designing evaluation experiments to assess the functionality of concepts;

Conducting/commissioning experiments;

A bit more about BAT and our undergraduate placement scheme:

We make significant investments in Research and Development to deliver innovations that satisfy or anticipate consumer needs and generate growth for the business. We conduct cutting-edge research to evaluate our Potentially Reduced Risk Products (PRRPs) and apply the highest standards for product safety and quality. Successful applicants will be involved in our extensive scientific research program which spans a broad spectrum of scientific fields - including molecular biology, human biology, toxicology, chemistry, biomedical sciences, psychology, neuroscience, sensorial science, data science, computer science, product design, and engineering disciplines

In the UK, we offer 12-months placement opportunities (starting on 2nd September 2024) to undergraduate students looking to gain practical experience within a vibrant and innovative industrial setting. As part of the scheme, you will be partnered with a mentor, have regular reviews with your Line Manager and work on projects that impact the business.

BAT has an established placement programme, with a dedicated Placement Team, which provides training and development throughout the placement. This includes sessions for onboarding, presentation skills, critical thinking, scientific poster presentations and 'speed networking' with senior management. Successful applicants are provided with multiple opportunities to develop transferable skills in addition to gaining 'hands on' experience in a technical discipline.

As part of the scheme students get a chance to cultivate their independent thinking and problem-solving skills in addition to working in and contributing to a team. Cross functional/department working and participation in other research activities is also encouraged, where appropriate. Previous work experience in a practical 'hands-on' role would be useful but not essential.

This role is due to start in September 2024, and we will be shortlisting applications and carrying out telephone interviews whilst the advert is live. We will look to make an offer to the successful candidate as close to the closing date as possible. However, the vetting and onboarding processes for successful candidates won't begin until the role is opened in our system, which is likely to be later in 2024, so we will contact successful candidates again to commence these processes when the position opens.
