Job Description:
We have an exciting opportunity to join our Engineering teams on a Work Experience placement. The placement will take place 7th - 11th July 2025.
The Basildon Work Experience is a week-long work experience placement for GCSE and A-Level students (Years 10 to 12) who show an interest and an aptitude in science and engineering.
As a team of two or three, you will be given the task of bidding into a competitive tender for a system to deploy a piece of Leonardo equipment into a challenging environment. The bid will culminate in a demo of a system you will have designed and developed, which is to be based on one of two COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) robotics platforms, and will require a range of engineering skills to adapt to the task.
The week will follow the processes and reviews Leonardo would use when bidding a contract, and will aim to expose the majority of the engineering and associated management functions within Leonardo.
If you are interested please submit a CV and covering letter for consideration.
