What you will be doing

You will be on a development pathway to guide your growth into the role of Fuel & Inerting Systems Graduate and can expect to be involved in the following:

• The Fuel & Inerting team are responsible for the design of the complete fuel system across every commercial Airbus aircraft, at all stages of the development lifecycle. From R&T projects (such as ZeroE & the next generation of Airbus aircraft), to Flight Test Campaigns (for example A350ULR and Sustainable Aviation Fuel) you can expect plenty of opportunities across our entire range of products.

• You will have the opportunity to complete multiple placements around the business, both within and outside the Fuel Systems Domain, working as part of experienced teams to gain a breadth of knowledge and experience across all aspects of aircraft design and development.

• Our Graduate Engineers operate in a very challenging environment, and over time will have the opportunity to develop their skills and grow both as Engineers and Team Leaders, ultimately helping you to realise your potential.

• We are entering an exciting time in our industry with a focus very much on environmentally sustainable aviation. Therefore the work you complete with us is not just limited to traditional kerosene-based fuel systems but also to new and novel technologies. The design of current and future fuel systems for the next generation of Airbus aircraft and the impact that novel fuels such as Hydrogen and Sustainable Aviation Fuel will have on these systems is of high importance and interest to enable Airbus to lead aviation into the future.

Your development pathway will include a minimum of one rotational placement to support your growth into position.
