Heathrow Engineering Virtual Work Experience Programme

Experience overview
On average there are roughly 1,300 take-offs and landings every day at Heathrow, making it one of the busiest airports in the world. So it comes as no surprise that complex engineering projects help the airport run smoothly. There are loads of systems to maintain, whether it’s something we have in our own homes like water and electricity, albeit at Heathrow there on an industrial scale or systems like security, which are constantly being updated with new tech. In this virtual work experience programme, we’re taking a look behind the scenes to see the thought and scale behind these projects.
What’s included?
In this virtual work experience programme, you’ll get a behind the scenes look at engineering at Heathrow Airport. This programme looks at the extensive opportunities an engineering career at Heathrow can provide, from rail apprenticeship placements to airside health and safety training. You’ll take part in quizzes and thought-provoking activities, we’ll also encourage you to do your own research to find out what specialism of engineering is right for you.
