Undergraduate Placements, MBDA Missile Systems

Are you looking for an industrial year placement and have you completed a minimum of two years of your degree course? If you can answer yes to both these questions MBDA can offer you a superb opportunity to gain valuable work experience on our one-year undergraduate programme. There’s no better way to get an insight into our business than by spending time at the heart of it, and this placement can count towards a professional qualification, lead to final year sponsorship and a place on one of our graduate schemes after university.

The placement is a structured programme of work experience, complete with competitive salary, benefits, training, development and a professionally qualified mentor. Wherever you join us, you’ll get to make a major contribution to a project, and your professional and personal development.

Available mainly in our Technical & Engineering and Operations Directorates, you should have a minimum of 240 UCAS points and be studying towards a minimum 2:1 Honours Degree ideally in one of the following disciplines; Engineering (electrical, mechanical, systems, software, aeronautical, aerospace) Maths, Physics or similar.

ON TARGET TO SUCCEED FROM DAY ONE – INDUCTION
When you join MBDA, our four-day induction programme will help give you a truly big picture perspective of the business, as well as the detail regarding our day-to-day working practices. You’ll also be allocated your own ‘buddy’ before you start – someone who has recently participated in a scheme similar to your own who knows the ropes and can give you practical guidance about what you can expect (and what will be expected of you!).

ON TARGET SUPPORT
As well as your Buddy, you’ll also have an assigned trained Mentor to support you throughout your development. Focused on providing career development support and helping you identify where your skills are best placed (and where they need to be developed), your Mentor will be key in helping you plan your options for the future.

ON TARGET REWARDS
Primarily located in our state-of-the-art facilities in Stevenage and Bristol, if it’s a high tech, high visibility working environment you’re after, this is the place for you. And, as well as offering an inspiring physical environment, we also offer a culture that promotes flexible working – meaning here you’ll have the freedom to define your own work pattern within set time limits.
But it’s not just the environment and culture here that are highly rewarding – we also offer more tangible rewards in the form of very competitive salaries, pension schemes and an option of private healthcare.
