I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Peterborough, England) in Jun 2018
Interview
Met in a group at the start and have to tell the place that you are there. Then you are taken to a small room where a presentation is given. After this they ask you to do a group activity, we had to create a structure made from dried spaghetti that was a certain height and could suspend a toy digger from, while doing this the interviewers watch from the back of the room. Then there is an interview where they gave a PCB from an engine and asked to name some of the parts. After the interview you have time to prepare a presentation sort of flow system diagrams, then you must present to the other 2 people that were at the back of the room, not the people who interviewed you.
