What This Is

Not a careers office.
Someone who got there.

Slipstream is application support for engineering students targeting automotive and motorsport placements and graduate roles.

Built by a Mechanical Engineering student (University of Bath) who, as a former Junior Engineer at McLaren Automotive during a placement year, reached final-stage interviews at Bentley, was called to interview at Koenigsegg, and received offers from Triumph and Rolls-Royce — using the same CV, cover letters, and approach now distilled into every Slipstream service.

Who This Is For

Final-year engineering students applying for industrial placements in automotive or motorsport — who want to stand out without generic career service advice.

Recent graduates targeting roles at performance car manufacturers, motorsport teams, or technical OEMs — and need their documents to reflect actual industry standards.

Formula Student members with strong technical experience who don't know how to translate their project work into something an employer understands at first read.
