Building a Future at Airbus: Suzie’s Story

Introducing Suzie

My name is Suzie, and I’m currently training as a wing fitter with Airbus through Guidant Global. I joined the team to challenge myself, gain new skills, and build on the experience I already had in engineering. It’s been a fantastic step forward, one that’s opening new doors for my career.

My career path so far

Before Airbus, I trained as a Welder and Fabricator and spent several years in the engineering industry. I’ve always enjoyed hands-on technical work, but I was ready for a new challenge. Airbus offered the chance to continue learning and to grow in an environment that supports development and progress. It was a chance I knew I couldn’t pass up.

A look at my day-to-day

Each day is focused on learning and developing both new and existing skills. The training is excellent and directly aligned with Airbus’ commitment to quality. I love that I get to apply techniques from my past experience while constantly improving in a new and exciting setting.

A supportive and inclusive culture

What stands out to me most is the company culture. Everyone is treated equally and encouraged to contribute. It’s a welcoming, collaborative atmosphere where everyone is part of the team and that really makes a difference to the working environment.

Why my role is so rewarding

Airbus offers real opportunities for career development and long-term success. I also appreciate the work-life balance that this role provides - it’s something I hadn’t experienced before in previous roles, and it’s made a huge impact.

My onboarding experience

The onboarding process with Guidant Global was really smooth and straightforward. Everything was clearly explained, and any questions I had were quickly resolved. I felt supported and ready from the start.

My advice for future candidates

If you’re considering a career with Airbus, I’d say go for it. Make the most of every opportunity you’re offered. Read carefully, follow instructions for the skills test, and trust the process. It’s a great place to build your future.
