We are Ontic

At Ontic, we embrace the challenges facing the aerospace industry, continuously striving to develop and innovate, and keep our customers flying.

Do you want an apprenticeship where you can develop personally and professionally?

We work on everything from radar systems to thrust reversers to help ensure our customers (the world’s aerospace leaders) have everything they need to keep their fleets flying. Because Ontic has such a wide range of aerospace products and customers, our early careers employees get a breadth of training that no one else can offer so if you want to learn the technical skills for all platforms rather than just one company’s, Ontic will be a great fit for you. On top of your technical training, there’s lots to get involved with at Ontic – we regularly have fun supporting charitable and community initiatives, everyone gets a day of paid leave to volunteer, and we truly live our values that encourage autonomy, care for colleagues and asking for forgiveness, not permission. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that we all get automatically enrolled into the company’s annual bonus scheme from day one. Come embrace the challenge with us!

Testimonials

An Apprenticeship That Encourages The Best For You

My apprenticeship has been a journey of growth and learning where I’ve been encouraged to develop at every stage. Through hands-on experience, mentorship and exposure to innovative technology, I have benefitted from the unique learning environment Ontic’s product mix provides.

A Graduate Scheme Where There’s Never A Dull Day!

The flexibility of the Ontic scheme has meant I’ve worked on a variety of projects already, collaborating and challenging myself every day. The big focus on personal development has been great and I am looking forward to the ongoing exposure to opportunities and experiences.

A Career With Opportunity At Ontic

I started as an apprentice in Gloucestershire in 2013 and now I’m a Business Unit Director in North Carolina. My journey with Ontic has been a challenging, interesting and fun ride, and I’d recommend an Ontic apprenticeship to anyone thinking of an aerospace career.

Culture

Our overall motto is to embrace the challenge – for ourselves, our colleagues, our customers, and our communities. We have three core values that help remind us what being part of Team Ontic is all about. Each of them is underpinned by a set of behaviors that we can all demonstrate in what we do every day.

Values

• A Common Sense: We’re a global family of specialists with a shared passion for precision. We take pride in the quality of our work and care about the people we do it with. We strive to create excellent products and services for customers and partners that set us apart. Combining our diverse perspectives and experience, we collaborate without boundaries and succeed together. • Freedom To Choose: We’re challengers and innovators with the space to do things differently. We’re constantly questioning ‘the way it’s always been done’, innovating and pushing boundaries. We trust and empower each other to choose the right path for us and the business – and we take responsibility for our actions. Our potential is limitless because everyone has a leader’s mindset. • Create The Opportunity: We’re change-makers with a clear direction and a can-do spirit. We never stop looking for commercial opportunities and ways to add value for customers, partners, colleagues, and communities. We think big but act small to deliver on the detail. Even when things get tough, our resilience, growth mindset, and ability to adapt drive us toward our future vision.
