Recruitment Information:

  • Complete an application form online at baesystems.com/apprenticeships between November 1st and February 28th, 2023
  • Complete the online gamification testing you will be sent after your application has been submitted.  You will have 7 days to complete these.  Keep an eye on your junk mail if the link does not appear in your inbox.
  • You will be asked to complete an online interview.  This will be using a system called Hireview and will be pre recorded questions.
    • Practice speaking into a camera in order to prepare for the potential ‘virtual’ interviews
  • You will be notified if you have been successful in progressing to the next stage, this may not be until after the 28th of February so do not worry if you don’t hear anything before then.
  • An interview/ assessment centre will be the next stage and should take place in April 2023
  • Successful candidates will start their programme in August 2023

Top Tips:

  • Take the time to read the job specifications and be clear on the role you are applying for- for example an electrician role is a marine electrician not a domestic electrician and our joiners work mainly with metal not wood!
  • After the 28th of February, role profiles will disappear from the website.  We would recommend copying the detail to a word document to enable you to refer to details in the job description before an interview
  • When doing the online tests, take the time to read all instructions fully ensuring you are clear what is being asked.  Try not to panic with the timings.  On average there is 6 minutes to complete each test.
  • Do not leave it until the final day to submit your application in case of any IT issues!
  • Make use of the word count on your application form.  Do not write one word answers!
  • If you have any questions, please get in touch! dradge@baesystems.com

For young people or staff who might have questions about the process, we will be hosting our Open Evening on the 17th November (WCS, Clydebank Campus) and attending STEM West – please feel free to come along and ask any questions.
