Here are some examples of multiple career opportunities that we operate to ensure our staff maximise their talent and potential.

We want to develop our existing and future leaders to meet the challenges and requirements of a truly trans-national and trans-functional company. Emerging talents who show a consistently good performance and those with potential are prepared and developed through an “on the job” career path enhanced by mentoring, coaching and leadership development programmes.

As a high-tech company, it is crucial for us to develop career opportunities in technical fields. Our engineers have always been at the forefront of technology and have made Airbus the leading innovator in the global aviation industry. To retain this lead, we have created the expert career path that develops our engineers from professionals into world-class specialists in their chosen fields.

Aircraft development is a complex process so we have created the role of an aircraft architect. This engineering role requires a complete understanding of the whole aircraft as a system, and the capacity to perform risk analysis to take the most appropriate decisions. Our aircraft architects are chosen from those who have experienced a number of technical roles and those who are proven project managers. They also demonstrate strong leadership, independence of judgement, active listening and inter-cultural awareness.
