Careers

AgustaWestland offer “Year Out” Industrial Placements covering a 12-month period from July to June in the fields of Engineering and Business.

Our Undergraduate Placement Programme provides students with the opportunity to experience work in a variety of departments through a series of placements, ensuring maximum benefit is gained from the time spent with us.

Unlike some Undergraduate schemes, our Undergraduates have the opportunity to discuss the areas of Business or Engineering that they would like to experience. Your dedicated Training Officer will then endeavour to build a structured placement plan that reinforces academic studies and caters for individual interests.

Undergraduates also have the added benefits of a competitive salary, annual leave entitlement, and well established support and social networks.

Good performance on the Undergraduate Placement Programme could lead to permanent employment following graduation from University.
