**About us:**
The Antenna Delivery team sits within the Digital Payload division of Airbus Defence and Space, where we focus on developing sub-systems and equipment for communications satellites. As a team, we manage multi-million pound projects from start to finish, overseeing every aspect-from design and production to testing and final delivery-to ensure we meet our customers’ exacting standards.
Our team of professionals span Project Management, Operations, and PMO, and lead multi-disciplinary teams. They manage schedules, risks and opportunities, and costs.

Based in Stevenage, you will join a dynamic, transnational team, collaborating with colleagues across the UK and Europe to drive the success and delivery of our projects.
**What you will be doing:**
You will join our Project Management Team, that leads and manages multi-disciplined, integrated project teams in the design and manufacture of Spacecraft Antenna products and systems. Working alongside experienced project managers, you will support the delivery of high-value projects-often exceeding 20M-ensuring they are on-time, on-cost, and on-quality.
In this role, you will gain hands-on experience in the end-to-end management of aerospace projects, helping to enable connectivity from space. Your core responsibilities will include:
* Supporting the project management team in day-to-day coordination, including tracking project scope, schedule, budget, and risks.
* Contributing to the preparation of customer-facing reviews and essential project communications.
* Developing a foundational understanding of project management principles, risk management, and supply chain coordination within an aerospace context;
* Collaborating effectively within diverse, multi-disciplinary teams to drive project progress.
* Utilizing industry-standard tools (including Google Suite and Microsoft Office) to prepare high-quality presentations, reports, and documentation.
**Requirements:**
Our placements are open to **Undergraduates only.** Therefore it is mandatory for candidates to be an undergraduate for the whole duration of the placement. **Please inform your graduation date on your application.**
***Your application should include a CV along with a Cover Letter outlining your motivation and suitability for the role.***
Successful candidates will be able to demonstrate the following:
* Studying towards a degree in Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautics Engineering, Physics, Business or equivalent;
* Interest in Engineering, Aerospace and Space;
* Experience with engineering projects either in university or in a work experience setting;
* Teamwork, communication and stakeholder management skills.
**This Job Request will be allocated to the projected Joint-Venture scope towards a leading European player in space.**
