AgustaWestland is a world leader in helicopter manufacture, based in Yeovil, Somerset.
We design, develop and manufacture an unrivalled range of the most advanced helicopters & rotary wing technology, for both civil and military customers.
Our main operations are in the UK, USA, Italy and Poland; offering Undergraduates a truly international working environment in which to gain valuable, hands-on industrial experience.
*We are currently seeking a Business Undergraduate to join our 12-month placement programme in June 2010: click here for more information.*
Each year, we seek to attract the highest calibre of Engineering and Business undergraduates to join our highly regarded Industrial Placement programmes based at our Yeovil site in Somerset, which provide 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.
AgustaWestland offer “Year Out” Industrial Placements covering a 12-month period from July to June.
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.
We recruit for Undergraduates from September to November each year, the year before entry is sought.
