Structures Graduate Review

My experience during my graduate scheme at Airbus was incredible. I had the opportunity to work in different departments and gain a broad overview of the company. I was able to contribute to several projects throughout the scheme, which was very rewarding. I recommend it to anyone passionate about aeronautical engineering.

I completed five rotations in total. The main responsibilities were agreed with the placement managers during the first week of each placement and usually involved learning about the team’s activities and supporting ongoing tasks in the department. What I enjoyed the most was the professional treatment I received from all the engineers and their openness to answer my questions and listen to me.

I managed to contribute to the teams I worked with, which was very rewarding and made me feel part of the team.

I had the freedom to organise, together with my future manager, the placements I was most interested in and that would bring the most value to my future role. Therefore, I believe I made the most of each placement to develop the skills I needed.

Yes

In terms of graduate scheme, I’d recommend Airbus to a friend because the it offers meaningful rotations, real responsibility, and a genuinely supportive environment. You can shape your own placements, work with open and highly professional engineers, and develop your skills through hands-on work every day. It’s a place where you feel valued, learn a lot, and truly contribute.
