How Unum Aircraft Seating recruits

There is no single graduate scheme application. Each vacancy is its own advert on Unum's Workable board and you apply to it directly. The graduate advert is explicit that hiring is rolling: "Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so we may close a vacancy early if we receive enough suitable applications." It then adds "If you're interested, we recommend applying sooner rather than later." No closing date is published on the advert or in its structured data, so the role stays open until it is taken down, and applying early is the only protection you have. Unum publish no selection stages anywhere. The only hint at how they assess you is an offer of "reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment or interview process", which confirms interviews happen but says nothing about how many or what form. No reapplication bar is published.

Unum publish no application window and no annual cycle. Their careers page says only "In the months ahead we will be expanding our team across all major business functions." The Graduate Test Engineer role carries a posting date of 1 September 2026 in the structured data on Unum's own advert. Treat their graduate hiring as vacancy driven rather than seasonal: there is no autumn opening to wait for, so check the board when you are ready and apply to whatever is live.

Worth knowing

  • One UK site only. Unum say "The Unum team is based in our design and production facility, located in the aerospace hub close to London Gatwick Airport", and the company address is One Kelvin Lane, Crawley RH10 9EZ. There is no second office, so you are committing to the Crawley area.
  • The graduate role is a permanent job, not a fixed term scheme. The advert lists it as "Full-time, Permanent", and calls it "an excellent opportunity for a graduate who is ready to take the next step beyond university".
  • They name a degree subject but no degree class. The requirements ask for "A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or similar", and the advert body widens that to "Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Product Design Engineering, or a related discipline". No grade requirement is published.
  • You need the right to work in the UK already: "All applicants must have the right to work in the UK. Proof of eligibility will be required before you start with us." Unum publish nothing either way about visa sponsorship, so ask before you invest time in an application if you need it.
  • No pay figure is published. The advert says only "Competitive salary".
  • Published benefits include "25 days holiday + bank holidays" and a "1pm finish on Fridays".
  • There is a standing talent pool if nothing suits. Unum keep a listing called "Join the Unum Talent Pool - Register your CV here", created "so you can share your CV with us so we can keep you in mind for relevant future opportunities".
  • This is a small employer. Unum describe the job as a chance to "Be part of a growing, ambitious startup environment changing the aircraft seating industry", and their whole job board carried three listings when we checked, two roles plus the talent pool. Expect few graduate openings and little formal process.
  • Adjustments are invited up front: "If you need any reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment or interview process, just let us know".
