Engineering graduates
During your first two years of the programme, you will be rotating through a series of planned and self-selected placements that cover the full spectrum of engineering activities that are conducted on our aircraft to keep them in an airworthy state. On completion of the programme, you will become a permanent member of one of our engineering teams.
Graduate Engineer applicants should be in their final year of study in a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, preferably majoring in Mechanical, Electronics or Mechatronics.
Summer internships
Our four-month summer internship provides exposure to the multidisciplinary skills required for today's engineers, while also giving the opportunity for development within a professional network. Similar to our Graduate programme, our interns will gain valuable work experience, and you will be supported by senior engineers and industry leaders who have strong technical and business knowledge.
