Employee Spotlight: Faith – Graduate Programme

"Working for Lockheed Martin has been in the forefront of my mind since being in the Air Cadets. I enjoyed learning about the different types of aircraft and how they linked to UK defence. I went on to study Aerospace Engineering at Swansea University, which included a Year in Industry. I applied to Lockheed Martin’s Placement Programme, in which I was successful and started my placement in August 2020. I then went back to university, secured my MEng, and returned to Lockheed Martin on the Graduate Programme in 2022.

Since then, I’ve been able to delve into different areas of specialist and systems engineering with the support from my manager, and I’ve found I really enjoy working as a Human Factors Design Engineer. I really enjoy my role as it allows me to constantly develop and learn, as no two projects are the same.

Alongside my day-to-day role, I’m a member of two Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) – the Mental Wellbeing ERG and Disability ERG. I’m really proud of my work in supporting these groups.

I would highly recommend a career at Lockheed Martin as there is a lot of support to develop. There is technical and leadership training available, and everyone can have a mentor which has been invaluable to me. "
