Are you ready to launch your career and make an impact on real-world projects from day one?

Get to know Leonardo
Working in Leonardo today means developing the most advanced technologies in the strategic sector of Aerospace, Defence and Security.

At Leonardo, we’re looking for graduates who want to be part of something bigger—shaping innovation, advancing technology, and enhancing global safety. 

We are committed to developing our graduates into leading technical or business professionals, and as such we will also support you through your preferred route for professional development. 

Our 2 year Graduate Programme gives you the opportunity to work on exciting and challenging projects alongside subject matter experts. On joining, you will receive a £34,000 starting salary, plus a £1,000 welcome bonus. You’ll also be eligible for a £1,000 exit bonus upon successful completion of the programme. In addition, you may be eligible for a Temporary Accommodation Allowance (TAA), subject to specific criteria. 

We encourage you to spend at least four days each week on site to integrate with your team and maximise your learning experience. 

We have a fantastic new opportunity for an Aerospace Product Support Engineering Graduate within the Customer Support & Training (CS&T) function.

During the programme, you will

Start with an Induction into Leonardo, followed by team building activities. There will also be a Customer Support specific induction to ensure that scheme requirements and expectations are fully established.

Unlike initial product design, Customer Support engineering requires a mind-set obsessed with the rapid development of innovative technical solutions to keep helicopters flying and lateral and deep analysis of customer feedback to create product improvements which ensure that the Company’s helicopters remain safe and at the cutting edge. 

As a Product Support Engineering Graduate, you will… 

  • Offer technical advice, maintenance solutions, working on product improvements. The disciplines range from Repair Design, Tooling Design, Fault investigation to Project managing solutions. There will be opportunities to work at Customer facilities and on occasion to travel further afield.
  • Work with world-leading specialists to increase your technical skills and capability
  • Develop your academic and practical understanding of the diverse world that is the aerospace industry.

What you’ll bring 

  • Minimum 2:1 Bachelor's or Master's in Aircraft Maintenance, Aircraft Engineering, Aerospace/Aeronautical disciplines or alternately in Mechanical or Automotive Engineering or Engineering Management. 

Security Clearance

Many of our roles are subject to security and export control restrictions set by UK Government Security requirements and customer obligations. As a result, and in line with the UK Government Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) requirements, all successful applicants will be asked to provide evidence of identity, eligibility to work in the UK, criminal record declaration information and employment and/or education history verification for the previous five years.

For staff operating in more sensitive posts, there is an additional range of personnel security controls referred to as National Security Vetting (NSV). As part of this process, a range of factors may be considered, including an individual's background, travel history, nationality, previous nationalities held and other information relevant to the vetting assessment.

To be eligible for National Security Vetting at SC level, applicants will generally be expected to have continuously resided in the UK for the previous five years. For DV clearance, this is typically ten years. In some circumstances, time spent overseas may be accepted, with additional overseas checks. Additional vetting requirements may apply upon appointment.
