Job Description

Role Overview

This graduate internship sits inside the aviation sector and is built for people who completed their studies recently and now want to turn academic knowledge into practical, workplace-ready output. Day to day, the intern works alongside experienced colleagues on live files — researching technical and policy questions, gathering evidence, and shaping it into documents the team can actually use. The position matters because it pairs structured support with genuine contribution: the tasks assigned help the wider team meet its deliverables, while the intern gains first-hand exposure to how the aviation industry really operates.

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out desk research on aviation topics linked to the assigned area of work — regulatory developments, operational practices, market trends or technical standards — and summarise findings in a clear, properly sourced format.
  • Draft and edit working documents such as briefing notes, background papers, correspondence and presentation slides, revising each version in line with feedback from supervisors.
  • Collect, verify and organise quantitative or documentary material into spreadsheets, trackers and reference files that colleagues can rely on.
  • Support the preparation and running of internal meetings, workshops or consultations, covering agendas, participant lists, note-taking and follow-up on action points.
  • Coordinate with colleagues across teams to gather inputs, confirm deadlines and keep assigned workstreams moving on schedule.
  • Review completed outputs for accuracy, consistency, formatting and factual detail before they are passed forward for clearance.
  • Maintain a structured record of tasks, sources and progress, and present updates on completed work at regular check-ins.
  • Take on additional project support as priorities shift, applying newly learned methods to unfamiliar subject matter.

Requirements & Qualifications

  • A university degree awarded within the last four years.
  • The degree must be relevant to the specific area of the internship being applied for.
  • Additional professional qualifications, certifications or specialised training in the field are an advantage.
  • Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to adjust tone and level of detail for different audiences.
  • Demonstrated ability to work as part of a team, share information openly and support shared deadlines.
  • Learning agility — the capacity to absorb new material quickly, take direction and apply feedback to the next task.
  • Professional conduct, discretion and reliability when handling sensitive or confidential material.
  • A demonstrated interest in the aviation industry, whether through studies, projects, volunteering or previous work, is an advantage.
