Recruitment FAQs

Whether you are interested in a work placement or a specific live role, here are our most asked recruitment questions

• Did you receive my recent application?

  All applicants will have received an automatic email confirming receipt of their application. Unfortunately, due to the high volume of applications we receive, we are only able to respond with further progress updates to successful applications. If you didn’t receive an automatic email confirmation when you applied and you are not sure if your application was submitted, please feel free to email recruitment@stirling-dynamics.com confirming your name, the role you have applied for and the date of your application, and someone will get back to you to confirm.

• Does Stirling Dynamics offer a graduate training programme?

  Yes, we run a 2-year graduate training programme which includes 4 x 6-month rotations across different areas of the business. We also occasionally recruit for graduate roles within certain engineering capabilities so please keep an eye on our vacancies page.

• Can I apply for work experience?

  Unfortunately, we do not offer work experience. We will occasionally consider internships, but this is on an ad hoc basis and dependent on business needs.

• What is Stirling Dynamics' recruitment process?

  All applicants will need to submit their CV through the online application form for the vacancy that interests you. If successful, one of our recruiters will contact you to schedule an interview. Depending on the role you have applied to, you will have 1 or 2 interviews covering a combination of technical and competency-based questions.

• What are the working hours at Stirling Dynamics?

  The standard full-time hours are 37.5 hours per week, Monday-Friday. Our core working hours are 10 am – 3 pm Monday-Thursday, and 10 am – 12.30 pm on Fridays, providing employees with the flexibility they need to balance their working life around their personal life.

• Can employees work from home?

  We recognise that the increased flexibility associated with homeworking helps some employees to achieve a better work-life balance and reduces their environmental impact through reduced commuting hours. We have therefore introduced a new flex-working policy which will allow employees to continue working from home in the future. For candidates that are not within a commutable distance of the Bristol office, we will also consider 100% remote working.

• Do you sponsor visas?

  We can sponsor visas. If you do not have the right to work in the UK, please still apply for any roles that you may be interested in.
