Exciting new careers are taking off with Airbus!

Building on a 2022 recruitment that already added over 13,000 new staff members, Airbus is launching another hiring drive for 13,000 more employees with skills to support the company’s long-term projects and maintain its position as an aerospace industry leader. 
The new hires will contribute to Airbus’ pioneering role in sustainable aerospace,  while also contributing to its continued business ramp-up and advancing key transformation projects.

Future-oriented jobs…and young graduates

Approximately one-quarter of the planned recruitment is focused on jobs in such fields of decarbonisation, digital transformation, software engineering and cyber technology.

A third of the total recruitment will be allocated to young graduates, from which Airbus plans to evolve future senior functional and business leaders through technical and leadership development, networking and exposure to top management.

Thierry Baril, the Airbus Chief Human Resources & Workplace Officer, said Airbus demonstrated its resilience throughout the COVID-19 crisis, and is now very well positioned for the next challenges.

“Following the success of our recruitment last year, we will hire over 13,000 new employees again in 2023,” he stated. “We call on talented individuals from all over the world to join us in our journey to make sustainable aerospace a reality and to help us build a better, more diverse, and inclusive workplace for all our employees.”

Baril added that Airbus is looking for new hires who are ready for career opportunities in technological transformation and in pioneering sustainable aviation. This next-generation workforce – including engineers, technicians, operators, data analysts, cyber experts and others – will be designing, preparing and building the aerospace industry of tomorrow.

Among the key profiles sought by Airbus for its hiring drive are digital and cyber (cyber security, robotics, software engineering, cloud computing), engineering and manufacturing engineering (new energies, hydrogen, aircraft design), and customer services (customer engineering, technical, and material support/services, maintenance technicians).

In Airbus’ production environment, hiring opportunities cover such areas as quality, supply chain management, and industrial operations (metal workers, painters, electricians).

Baril added that in expanding its global staffing with the new hires, Airbus will continue its emphasis on diversity across the company, fostering a culture that is truly inclusive.

Education, training and professional development

One career path example is Justin Möhlmann, the Industrial Cyber Security Plant Analyst at Airbus Commercial Aircraft’s Hamburg, Germany facility.

Möhlmann began his relationship with Airbus in a company-sponsored 3.5-year work/study programme, which enabled him to earn a Batchelors’ degree, and then join Airbus full-time in 2019. With Airbus’ support, he subsequently resumed his studies to obtain a Master’s degree in Information Systems, rejoining Airbus full-time in 2021.

“It’s very motivating to be working in the Airbus environment, with its cultural diversity, the opportunities to build a career, and work at the company’s various locations around the world,” Möhlmann explained. “Airbus fully supported me throughout my educational and professional development, and I am able to continue my training to ensure that I remain at the top of my game in the evolving world of cybersecurity.”

With his current responsibilities, Möhlmann serves as the on-site representative at Hamburg for the Airbus cybersecurity solutions team, working closely with the company’s central cybersecurity organisation.

The Hamburg facility is one of Airbus’ major industrial sites, with four parallel final assembly lines for the best-selling single-aisle A320. The facility also produces fuselage sections and performs cabin outfitting for the A320, as well as the widebody A350 and A330.
