In a recent feature by Educate Magazine, they took a closer look at three unique careers in the space industry, each offering exciting opportunities and diverse pathways to get there – hearing from Morson Projects’ Operations Director, Gareth Beck and other leading industry experts.
Gareth shared:
“What we tend to do with our early careers development programme colleagues is expose them to as many different aspects of the sector as possible to see what most inspires and excites them.
“That might be software, design, or analysis, for example, or perhaps they might enjoy having a broader understanding of a project and gravitate towards project management. The key for us is to enable engineers at the beginning of their career to work on live projects with more experienced colleagues so that they can develop skills and knowledge in an area that they enjoy most.”
Speaking about the types of careers in the aerospace sector, Gareth added:
“There are a huge variety of roles in the sector at the moment, driven by the defence industry. Opportunities include everything from structural analysis and software development to writing technical manuals.
“There is also a real drive to make aviation more sustainable, which means that there are lots of roles focused on developing new technology for greener fuels too.”
