Join Heathrow's Fire Engineering Graduate Leadership Development Programme, a three-year professional development programme preparing you for engineering and management roles. You'll work on significant projects, learning from expert engineers, and gain exposure across multiple business units, including airside and landside engineering, water management, heating and cooling systems, terminal engineering, technical services, project management, rail, baggage, and asset management.
As a Fire graduate, you'll be responsible for £14bn worth of assets, including 4 million square metres of airfield pavements, 125km of roads, 44 tunnels, 5 terminals, and the largest private water distribution system in Europe. Your role will help maintain, improve, and future-proof Heathrow's critical infrastructure, supporting the delivery of projects, airfield and infrastructure maintenance, drainage and water management systems, asset management, and sustainability initiatives.
The programme includes a comprehensive and defined training route, one-to-one coaching from mentors, and regular meetings with a dedicated mentor. You'll build your knowledge, experience, and leadership skills needed to succeed as a future leader at Heathrow. The expectation is that you'll go on to achieve Incorporated and Chartered Engineer status and potentially take a fast-track route into a managerial role.
To apply, you need a genuine passion for engineering, be on track to graduate by August 2027, with one of the following Institute of Fire Engineers (IFE)-accredited degrees: Fire Safety Engineering (MSc), Fire Engineering (BEng), or Structural and Fire Safety Engineering (BEng).
We're looking for people who are keen to explore new things, enjoy a challenge, and want to work in different areas of Engineering to help build capability. It's also important to demonstrate a 'can-do' attitude, integrity, and a real passion for living our Heathrow values.
