About the Organisation


If you're looking to work on the very latest technology and would relish the chance to move around diverse but equally successful business areas, Thales could be the company you're looking for. We're a global provider of electronics products and services with business areas in Aerospace, Defence and IT & Services. Our business is exciting and dynamic with some 65,000 employees worldwide and a history stretching back more than 100 years. We recognise that our people drive our success and so have a highly progressive approach not only to business but also to ensuring that every member of our team reaches their full potential.

Graduate Opportunities

We have graduate opportunities across each of our three business areas and can also offer graduates with a second European language the chance to launch their career abroad via our Careers 1st Program - visit www.jobsatthales.co.uk/graduates for more information on the scheme. Our roles cover everything from Software Engineering and Electronic Design to Hydrographic Surveying & Offshore Engineering. In addition, we have roles in non-technical areas such as Finance and Contracts Management. Wherever you join us, you can look forward to genuine responsibility from day one and the huge range of challenges you need to succeed. And, with locations across the UK and throughout the world, we really can take you further.

Training and Development


No matter what your ambitions, our training and development means we can help you to fulfil them. As well as a structured graduate programme, we offer ongoing career development opportunities. Our training schemes are designed to ensure that you gain a solid understanding of a product or service life-cycle and to give you an insight into the operation of a global company. You'll have a personal mentor who will guide you through the learning curve and give you the individual support you need to flourish in our challenging environment. We also have our own University located in France and the UK, which offers a range of training and career development programmes.

Application and Selection

Given the variety and number of locations, we ask all our graduates to apply directly to a specific company and for a specific role. However, you can apply to as many individual group companies as you like - our graduate website has an online application form designed to help you to do this simply and quickly. You can access the form by visiting www.jobsatthales.co.uk/graduates. For all roles, we'll expect you to hold a degree in a relevant subject and to have the drive and ambition you need to really develop our business as well as your career.
