BAE Systems
BAE Systems is a truly global organisation. We undertake prime contracting and systems integration projects for land, sea and air. Our vision is to be the leading systems company, innovating for a safer world. Our international market presence is unrivalled, and our aim is to become the benchmark defence systems company worldwide.
Technical and business careers
 We have a mix of career disciplines and degree requirements. Our engineering roles require an appropriate degree, and our business roles look for business-related subjects. Our Finance Leader Development Programme (FLDP) accepts any discipline. Sigma is our fast-track leadership programme and recruits the future Engineers and Business leaders.
BAE Systems offers all our graduates an exciting future and a career path as varied and individual as you want to make it. Our Graduate Development Framework (GDF) has long been held as one of the best available. It provides a common structure designed to
support your transition into our business. Different modules will help you to develop new skills, and it’s an excellent way to meet graduates from across the business. At the same time you will be doing a real job from day one.
Flexible development
While we offer a wide range of opportunities for your development we recognise that our career is your own. You are responsible for driving it at a pace that suits you. You will be
supported in this by your manager and mentor. We have a unique Corporate Mentor scheme whereby a member of our executive population will work with you to plan and achieve your career goals. And we have an annual graduate conference, the ideal networking event.
Salaries and benefits
We offer a competitive salary starting from £22,000, and an excellent package of benefits including 25 days’ paid holiday. We give you £2,000 to help with initial expenses plus the option of an interest-free salary advance. The benefits package includes pension, share options, healthcare and car purchase schemes.
