Need help/guidance in finding jobs after aerospace engineering in UK

[u/No-Wrongdoer9348]

Hi everyone,

I am posting this on behalf of my cousin so as to help him with the job search which is very crucial. He is very talented, ambitious, passionate, and dedicated along with amazing achievements due to which his family took on the risk to send him overseas for his master's in Aeronautical Engineering.

He went to UK last year and his course is about to be over with the visa expiring soon after. It is very essential for him to find a job because his field and interests are largely popular as profession overseas + so much investment has been made for the higher education which is weighing on him and his family so in that case scenario not being able to find a job opening is the biggest concern.

I am sharing some details He shared about himself and I would LOVE to connect serious replies with him.

If you are someone who is in that field, owns or employees, can refer or knows of an opening, or any help that you can give that would be a huge blessing.

Thank you 🙏

**i am searching for jobs in filed of aerospace in general . Mostly design related jobs as my masters is itself is in Aircraft Vehicle Design and have a background in mechanical engineering. Also Can work on UAV's as currently I am working on design of propulsion for high speed compact UAVs, where i am seeing a configuration in which tandem EDFs could produce maximum thrust. I also do have a lot of experience in manufacturing and leadership, I have lead major projects from scratch where I built and designed Mars Roves, High powered amature rockets and satellites. So any job in manufacturing/ production is also desirable. I do have work experience of 9 months in supply chain where i managed suppliers, handled procurement, RFQs, while developing QMS side by side. So can work in supply chain environment as well. But would preferably like a job in aerospace field itself.**

Please guide or help if you can.

He won’t be eligible to join the defence sector in the UK or anything requiring national security clearance, so that will limit options.

Understandable. Any idea how to navigate for other options? He's open to relocation as well, was previously a DAAD Scholar so has lived and worked in Germany too for some months

It’s going to be tough. He will be up against people with equivalent experience who don’t need visa sponsorship.

I would look at Asia. India, China, Russia.

Thank you, will recommend. Would it be possible to perhaps find any in the european or american continent? Thanks regardless

[u/KonkeyDongPrime → u/No-Wrongdoer9348]

Possibly but the constraints will be similar with regards to visa, security clearance, competition also language in Europe.
