Hear from our former graduates

Bronwen
Development Director


I joined Gatwick on a graduate programme. Since then, I've worked in lots of different areas, including Security, Operations and Construction.

I now lead the airport’s multi-million-pound Capital Investment programme. Working at an airport, you're challenged to be ambitious and redefine what's possible.

Sam
Field Engineer (Construction)


I joined Gatwick as a graduate in 2018 and am working towards becoming a chartered engineer. I've had plenty of support to deliver what matters.

There are plenty of opportunities to grow your career in other areas. For me, that's working on projects out on the airfield, building in a live environment.

Andy
Senior Digital Performance Manager


I studied economics and like many graduates, I wasn't sure which career path to take. Joining the Gatwick graduate programme helped me find my passion for e-commerce.

The airport is a dynamic place to work, and you're always challenged to give your best. It has a real buzz you can't find elsewhere.
