Inmarsat

Inmarsat is the leading provider of global mobile satellite communications and has been providing connectivity on land, at sea and in the air for more than 35 years.

Set up in 1979 by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) to enable ships to stay in touch and call for help in an emergency, our business has evolved and today our customers also include governments, media, utility companies, the oil and gas industry, humanitarian aid agencies and airlines.

What we do

Inmarsat powers voice and high-speed data communications where terrestrial telecom networks are unreliable or simply do not exist.

To ensure we provide the best connectivity solution for our customers’ needs, our business is split into five distinct Business Unit areas:

Maritime – thousands of vessels rely on us for operational communications and safety services at sea, from deep sea merchant vessels, coastal merchant and work boats to fishing and leisure craft
Enterprise – we have the largest portfolio of global voice, broadband data and machine-to-machine (M2M) services for use on land, and our markets include utilities, media, oil and gas, mining, aid and NGO, construction, banking and finance, eHealth, eLearning, and transport and logistics
Aviation – we provide ultimate connectivity for the whole aircraft, from cockpit to cabin, for both business and commercial aviation markets, and are the trusted provider of satellite safety services for over 90% of the world’s wide-bodied aircraft
Global Government – depended upon by governments in over 80 countries, we connect first responders, border control, international affairs, military operations and civil governments

I enjoyed meeting with the companies and hearing their advice, especially on application process as I will be applying for graduate jobs.

A thoroughly enjoyable event, with very intelligent and driven students. The students are from a mixture of years so proved great for our current and future pipeline, and company branding. You also walk away with the details of circa 100 top quality students, so a very unique event.

Much more relaxed atmosphere compared to any previous event I've attended which made it easier to build relationships with employers.

The day has been inspirational and a great reminder of why I chose to study engineering.

I have been inspired by some leading ladies. It makes me realise what you can achieve.

It was delightful to see so many high calibre female engineering students who had made the effort to research our company and prepare questions for the networking session. The event was very well organised, informative and fun. This is our third year attending the event and we look forward to getting involved again next year.

We have attended the Future Female Engineering event for a number of years now; it is a great opportunity for employers to meet with interested and motivated female engineering students. Throughout the event students have the opportunity to get to know their preferred employers, hear what is like to be a graduate in the company and also gain helpful hints and tips on the application process. The event is a great opportunity for students and employers to network across a number of informal and fun sessions!

It has made me realise that engineering is quite an open sector and that there is a lot of scope to enter a lot of areas.
Student

Good combination of chances to network/ask questions and hear from companies directly.

Speaking to graduates and recruiters in such a relaxing environment was such an insightful opportunity- so many of my questions were answered, even those I didn't know I had.
Student

A fantastic way to meet other female engineers, be inspired to pursue a career in the sector and learn more about the application process.
Student

Everything was great, the overall vibe puts you in a good mood and even if you come in scared and unsure about what to do, that quickly goes away.
