Company Information

When you’re looking for perfection, nothing beats the systems found in nature. 3 billion years of evolution. That’s the inspiration behind so much of what we do. Join us at BAE Systems and you’ll become part of Europe’s largest defence, security and aerospace company with over 105,000 employees worldwide and sales that exceeded £18.5bn in 2008.

We develop, deliver and support some of the most advanced defence, security aerospace systems in the world, leading to over 100 new inventions each year.

So whether it’s aircraft, surface ships, submarines or radar systems, our people make it happen. Which means it doesn’t matter if you have a business, engineering or finance background. If you’re striving to become a top performer, you’ll find all the inspiration you need to achieve your goals here.

We believe in being the best. Doing everything better than before. After all, it’s in our nature. So it’s only natural we should look for graduates who’ll do better. Go further and achieve more. Unlike many other schemes, BAE Systems’ graduates are recruited directly into a business unit. That means you’ll only work in areas that suit your ambitions.

Wherever you work, you’ll enjoy some great benefits, such as a welcome payment and graduate induction – including your own personal Buddy and Mentor. Then there are our three Graduate Development modules, designed to increase your personal and commercial acumen. If you perform well, we’ll reward you with the support and development you’ll need to continue to prosper.

Whichever area of our business you initially join on our graduate programme, you’ll be encouraged and supported to develop your natural potential. This could mean further study towards relevant professional qualifications, for which we’ll provide all the resources and support you need. It will certainly mean drawing up your own individually-tailored Personal Development Plan, setting your own goals and achieving them through regular performance reviews.

We won’t hold your hand. If you want to be a success with us, you’ll need to plan, drive and continue to set and achieve your own ambitious goals. It’s your career, and you’ll be responsible for taking it to the heights you want to reach.

Joining our graduate development framework programme means you’ll gain invaluable skills. But we’ll value you from the start with an excellent package including:

• A competitive salary ranging between £24,000 and £28,000
• A Welcome Payment of £2,000
• Performance Reviews every six months
• Competitive Pension Scheme
• Discounted healthcare, car lease and share schemes
• Support to gain professional qualifications
• 25 days holiday per year
• A tailored induction with on-going Buddy and Corporate Mentor support
• Access to our Graduate Development Course, Graduate Conference and Graduate Intranet

Our application process is easily accessible via our website baesystems.com/graduates. The entire website is there to give you some more detailed information about the career opportunities at BAE Systems and provides online application facilities for all our graduate and industrial placement roles.
