Junior Aerospace Engineer
Application Deadline: 14 August 2026
Department: Hardware
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Havant
Compensation: £30,000 - £33,000 / year
Description
At LiveLink Aerospace, we don’t do "ordinary." We are pioneering the future of aerospace technology, and we move fast. If you are looking for a rigid, desk-bound 9-to-5 where every day looks the same, this isn't the role for you. But if you want to be at the heart of cutting-edge engineering, learning from the ground up, and directly impacting real-world flight tech, welcome aboard.
We are seeking a versatile, hands-on Junior Aerospace Engineer to join our team in Havant. This is a highly varied role designed to give you a massive breadth of experience. You will not be siloed into one department; instead, you will rotate through and support multiple disciplines, building a world-class foundation for your engineering career.
One day to the next is never the same. You might find yourself:
- In a field: Assisting with exciting live flight testing and data collection.
- At the bench: Soldering components and helping the production team build next-gen hardware.
- In the logistics zone: Gathering, prepping, and packing complex equipment for an upcoming client demo.
- At a workstation: Collaborating on hardware design or, if you have the skillset, diving into software tweaks and testing.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
