Our Purpose
Our world is changing. And so are we. From our commitment to zero-carbon flight (#ZEROe) to cleaning up space, sustainability is at the heart of our purpose. So what's your next change?
A new and exciting role has arisen within the Wing Industrial Architect team (OMWN), where the mission is to co-architect our next products and pioneer the industrial systems of the future. Your core objective as an Industrial Architect will be to integrate inputs from multiple stakeholders to deliver an optimized Industrial System concept that achieves the best balance of top project objectives for both industrial and aircraft performance. This includes delivering the plan to verify and validate this concept, alongside cascading all associated requirements for the detailed Industrial System definition—work that is directly applicable to all new Aircraft Projects and Programmes, including derivatives and major modifications of existing aircraft.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
