Let us shape your problem-solving know-how and engage your inquisitive mind. Our four-year engineering programme will turn you into one of our next-generation leaders.
This is a programme for the next generation of aspiring leaders who’ll shape the future of engineering at Thales in the UK. It’s rotational, so you’ll be moving around the country and across different business units and engineering disciplines during your first two years. But we’ll support you every step of the way, because it’s really important that you learn and see as much of our diverse business as possible during your training. It’s what will set you up for success in the later stages of your development journey.
After that, you’ll complete two one-year placements in order to build and consolidate knowledge in your chosen area.
Our engineering graduates are offered a competitive salary, starting at £27,000 depending on the programme. You'll benefit from structured assessments that will inform your performance-related pay review.
We welcome applications from recent graduates, with or without work experience.
We’re after people with a passion for engineering and an inquisitive mind. Team players and collaborators who will make the most of the opportunities available to them. We offer extensive development, a challenging environment and a unique level of exposure to our business. Everything you need to progress your career at a rate that’s right for you.
You will need to be studying or have completed a relevant bachelors degree in a STEM subject. Ambition is important, along with an ability to:

We’re committed to turning raw graduate potential into innovative, effective professionals who can grow our business.
Our Graduate Development Programme comes with on-the-job training and plenty of time and space to explore your skills, find your strengths, and see where you can develop.
Expect excellent training from the brightest minds in our organisation as well as access to unique opportunities and courses that’ll broaden and deepen your expertise.
Throughout the programme, you’ll also have the opportunity to work with fellow graduates on innovation projects, growing new skills whilst building important networks with colleagues and business leaders.
But the journey doesn’t stop there. You’ll also be supported towards professional registration with the help of a mentor and your very own structured technical development plan.
You’ll spend your first four years with Thales under the guidance of the Engineering Leadership team. We’ll structure this time to make sure you develop experience in the full engineering lifecycle and the various engineering disciplines that contribute to it. With help from your mentor, you’ll figure out the career path that’s right for you, then spend the rest of your time shadowing and building experience in your chosen area.
