Year in Industry

We will advertise our Year In industry roles from October-January each year. Applications for our Year in Industry roles will typically be reviewed throughout the application window and online testing sent out within a few weeks of your initial application.

However, some departments may wait until the closing date to review the applications, but you will be kept informed throughout the application process as to the next steps. 

If you are successful, you will then be invited to either a virtual or face-to-face interview dependent upon which department you interview with although some departments may run an assessment centre instead if there is a particularly strong applicant base. These will run in January each year. 

Rotational Graduate Programmes

We will normally advertise our rotational graduate programmes from September – November each year and these applications will be reviewed after the closing date.

Once your application is received you will also be sent some online testing to complete before your application is reviewed after the closing date.  Once all applications and online test results have been reviewed then we will contact applicants to invite them to a one-day assessment centre at one of our offices.

Following the assessment centres, successful applicants will be given offers to join the business for the following September. We expect all assessment centres and offers to be completed before Christmas.

Ad hoc entry-level graduate roles

These can be advertised at any point throughout the year, typically for a one-month period, and will have varied start dates. For these roles we will review applicants as they come in to us and invite applicants to complete our online testing before taking candidates forward to a final stage interview either virtually or in-person. 

Our online tests

We run all of our online testing through SHL and these will vary dependent on the business function/department you have applied to. For example, if you are applying for an engineering role you may undertake a Mechanical Comprehension Test and for a Business role this may be a verbal and numerical reasoning test. This will be communicated to you when we have received your application.

We encourage all of our applicants to utilise the practise tests on the SHL website before you do the ‘real’ test. 

If any reasonable adjustments are required as part of the recruitment process, then please let us know in your application, we will then make every effort to accommodate this. 

What pre-employment checks take place?

In order to work at Martin-Baker, you will need to successfully complete our screening process, which includes a 5-year personal history and right to work check. This involves the following:

  • You will be asked to provide evidence of your right to work in the UK and confirmation of your current address.
  • You will be asked to provide the employment dates, company names and addresses of all of your previous employers (including recruitment agencies) for the last 5 years, even if you only worked there for a few days. If you have any career gaps you will need to include a reason and documentary evidence. If you have recently been in full-time education you will need to provide us with details of the educational institution course, dates and duration.
  • We will need to complete a criminal record check and may require you to be security cleared.

You will be supported throughout the screening process, but it is your responsibility to provide complete and accurate information and appropriate evidence at all stages of the process.
