Martin-Baker: does its graduate engineering programme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyGraduate Engineering Programme

Unconfirmed. Martin-Baker publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate engineering programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Martin-Baker designs and makes ejection seats and aircrew safety equipment at Denham. Its Graduate Engineering Programme starts in September 2027 and runs two years, rotating through systems engineering, mechanical design engineering, product verification in environmental test, programmes and product support. Applicants need a 2:1 or higher in a relevant engineering degree, ideally aerospace, aeronautical or mechanical. The process is a CV, SHL online assessments, then an assessment day at Denham on Wednesday 2 December. Benefits include a 9 percent non contributory employer pension, a lunchtime finish on Fridays and 25 days' leave. The role needs BPSS screening and ITAR eligibility; the advert says nothing directly about visa sponsorship.
