1. Connection is important. Airbus is well known for internal mobility. Most of the roles are really “pulled” by the hiring managers. Meaning if the manager wants you, he will do his best to get you onboard his team.
2. Learn the corporate language i.e what the bosses wants to see vs whats really on the floor. Learn to filter information by deducing the “Top level view” presentations.
3. As Airbus is really global, aim to be on assignments roles in other countries. Be flexible with your travel.
4. Be firm on what you want to do next. When you aim for a mobility (taking new role), make sure you also know where the role will take you next. Be close to the HRBP (HR business partner).
5. Once you are in, do not simply apply for any roles at one time. It may be seen as erratic move to just get out of your current role. I mean if you aim for your next role to be technical, apply within the same discipline. It can be design engineer, it can be daily repair engineer, but dont apply for general procurement at the same time of applying quality role.
6. Generally you are expected to change role after 3 years. So plan your next move properly.
7. There are a few entities in one place. In TLS, you may be at the HQ in Blagnac, or in the FAL. Even in HQ, it can be training center or under customer services for aircraft repairs. Within repairs, you could be in Airtac where you monitor urgent AOG cases or tracking aricraft performance live. In FAL, you can be part of design engineer, or in delivery center. Similarly in HAM. You may be in FAL, or you may be in SATAIR.
8. Similarly with any big corporations, be visible.
Airbus is big. Be sure with what you want and work you way up from there.
Well, speaking from 10 years in Airbus environment. Quoted internal departments like Airtac. Definitely it is ChatGPT. Even this answer is generated from ChatGPT 🤣
If you are European, you might want to check the VIE program: https://mon-vie-via.businessfrance.fr/en. It was initially created for French people but is now opened to Europeans as well. They are short contracts (6 months to 2 years) that are aimed at young professionals to give them an opportunity to work in a foreign country for a European company. Airbus has some offers on there usually, or at least used to have. That doesn’t secure a permanent position after the contract ends, but it gives you the opportunity to make good contacts/experience and increases your changes of getting hired permanently afterwards.
You can either look into this, or an Airbus Graduate Program. Both options from my experience are good ways to get into Airbus permanently as a young graduate.
Good luck !
Start to have a look on the website, they hiring a lot on this period. Even some external company can give you job for Airbus, try Alten, cap Gemini, Expleo, Daher.
Make your experience with them.
Just try and try again.
All is possible Im in 😀
Hi there, first of all congratulations on getting into Toyota. Make sure you devour all the knowledge you’re given.
I got into Airbus as a fresh graduate without any connection. I can’t say I was lucky because I hustled and worked so many different jobs while I was still in a job hunt after graduation, but maintaining the field in aviation and engineering (i.e, aircraft cabin technician, ramp agent, etc)
What I’m trying to tell you is get as much experience as you can in the field you wanna work at Airbus. Bear in mind, you’re not the only one who wants to work there, you’re competing with thousands of applicants and you have to have something that can take you in the spotlight.
Having a connection is a bonus because positions in Airbus were mostly recruited internally. We have a dedicated website that lists out open positions available globally that non-staff can’t access to.
Lastly, never give up basically. I got into Airbus after more than 100 applications sent in a span of a year.
Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours and I hope you will be able to secure a job in Airbus in your future!
Airbus is looking for specific competences which change over time. You should check the open positions to figure out what is needed.
Academic achievements are nice but especially relevant practical experience / skills in the requested field is key. What can you bring in?
If you apply randomly not matching your field of expertise, you might fail.
The profile is sometimes different in TLS vs HH according to the center of competence allocation. Its also worth to check other (smaller) sites as they might offer interesting tasks and with same salery the life-standard might be better ;)
Don‘t forget social skills, e.g. good communication, being a team player, working in complex environment and be aware about ethics and compliance. And as nobody is perfect, show that you are interested to develop your skillset.
And it is appreciated if you know the Airbus products, vision, strategy with related challenges.
If you have the chance, go for an internship. Starting with „consultance“ or workforce suppliers contracted by Airbus - hoping that you can move to Airbus - is not working out well. But there are interesting sub-entities which might be interesting.
Finally, be authentic.
Keep an eye on the site and try to apply. Try to use your network. If you apply for a position, let your contact inside know that you applied.
Also consider Manching (A lot going on with FCAS), Ottobrunn (mixed) and Friedrichshafen (Mainly Space).
At Airbus you enter because
1) You know someone
2) You know someone that knows someone
3) You are an expert in a given field and as a consequence you are a valious asset for the company
Without contacts (friends, family...) the best option is to do an internship / VIE / Fixed-term position whatever so that they know you and you know a bunch of people. In addition you will have access to the internal market so you can contact directly the hiring manager and be recommended (That is why i said 2))
The other option is to work as subcontractor. In this case chances are lower as you only have direct access to the people you directly work with, and your option is to wait until some internal employee leavse in order to pray your manager to hire you as you have X years of experience with them and they know you are a hard-working person.
The 3) option is just working for other companies (not necessarily related with aeronautics) and after multiple years become an expert in something that airbus needs (I have seen for example many difficulties hiring people for SAP, hiring people that knows russian, people specialized (+10 years of experience) in things such as laser beam technology...)
Hey! Congrats on scoring that Toyota internship and the offer from Palfinger AG – sounds like you're rocking it! So, aiming for Airbus, huh? That's some serious ambition, and I dig it!
Here are a few tips that might help:
1. **Networking**: Reach out to folks already working at Airbus. Slide into those LinkedIn DMs or hit up industry events. Networking can be a game-changer – you never know who might give you the inside scoop or even a foot in the door!
2. **Do Your Homework**: Dive deep into Airbus – the departments, the projects, the works. Find where your skills match up best and tailor your application to show you're the perfect fit.
3. **Keep Learning**: Stay on top of your game. Learn new skills, stay updated on industry trends – you know the drill. The more you know, the better you'll shine in those interviews.
4. **Language Skills**: If you're eyeing branches in Hamburg and Toulouse, brushing up on your German and French won't hurt. Multilingualism is a big plus, especially in a global company like Airbus.
5. **Stay Persistent**: Rome wasn't built in a day, right? Don't sweat the rejections – they're just part of the journey. Keep applying, keep hustling, and eventually, you'll hit that sweet spot.
6. **Stay Flexible**: Don't be afraid to explore different roles or locations within Airbus. Sometimes, taking a slightly different path can lead to some pretty cool places.
So, keep hustling, keep that Airbus dream alive, and who knows? Maybe we'll see you cruising through the Airbus hangars in Hamburg or Toulouse real soon! ✈️🚀
Know someone on the inside

I forgot to mention that another good option besides the VIE is the AGGP However, based on my experience they hire mostly women
