Thales (pronounced THA-less), is named after the Greek philosopher many consider the father of science.
Fitting, as the company is a global leader in technology for aerospace, defence, IT, services and transport, not to mention information management for banking and finance.
In fact, there are few areas of our lives Thales does not reach. Almost every train in the UK is fitted with Thales technology. Its systems fly on almost every kind of aircraft, civilian and military. It’s won competitions and bids for both the Royal Navy Future Carrier (CVF) and the RAF’s Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft. And it supplies electronics for both the massive, new Airbus A380 and Boeing’s fuel-efficient 787 Dreamliner.
And, by providing some of the most innovative solutions to many of the world’s trickiest engineering problems for many years, the company has reached a Fortune 500 rank of 485.
Unsurprisingly, Thales is committed to attracting and developing the world’s most talented engineering graduates. Wisely, it understands this is key to its success in a competitive market. As a result, every year it recruits the brightest and the best into a variety of areas and roles.
The graduate programme lasts for four years. During this time, training includes seminars, specialist courses and visits. Every candidate has the support of a mentor, and is encouraged to become professionally qualified. Thales even pays for your annual membership to the relevant professional body.
120 committed graduates, with a range of skills that include systems and software to electronics and signalling, and from bachelors to PhDs, will join us in 2008. Applications involve online ability tests, telephone interviews, as well as face to face assessments. For more information, visit www.thalesgroup.com/uk in the careers section.
