Few employment sectors can boast the cutting-edge science, advanced technology, and technical complexity offered by this exciting industry. Careers in the Space and Satellite Industry are some of the most intriguing jobs to be found anywhere in the UK, and the field currently employs a limited workforce of about 20,000 individuals. Much of this workforce is employed in the Oxford area. This page lists recruitment agencies that specialise in the Space sector, but Agency Central can also list more general agencies sorted by their location.
The Space Industry is obviously a highly technical field, and requires professionals with advanced qualifications and education. It is also a primarily science-based industry, and successful candidates will need a particularly strong background in Physics. Postgraduate degrees are required for most roles, as is a fair amount of experience working with complex mechanical systems. Recruitment agencies frequently recruit for positions in Software Development, Operations, and Quality Assurance.
The sector is traditionally a high-paying one, and the compensation reflects the extensive training and level of qualification required for such positions. It can be a demanding profession, and in some positions the level of responsibility is enormous. Applicants will need to be efficient team workers, mathematically proficient, and meticulous. Most positions are full-time, but there are also a number of internship and part-time opportunities available.
