Company summary
From outer space to the depths of the ocean, Cobham’s products and services have been at the heart of sophisticated military and civil systems for 75 years, keeping people safe, improving communications and enhancing the capability of everything from the International Space Station to the latest bomb-disposal equipment in Afghanistan.
Pay and benefits
We believe in recognising and rewarding talent, with pay for performance our guiding principle. Our employees receive comprehensive health, welfare and retirement benefits.
Promotion and development
Our revenue has doubled to some £2 billion in the past four years, so we’re looking for people who can make a difference and grow with us. We provide an environment in which you can become whatever you have the aspirations and capability to become.
Company culture
Our values are Trust, Talent and Technology, because our distinctive products and services are developed by people who have a passion for excellence and who trust us to give them a career, not just a job. Our tag line is ‘The most important thing we build is trust’, because we never lose sight of the fact that people trust their lives and livelihoods to our products and services.
Diversity, social responsibility
The most important thing we build is trust, putting safety first, nurturing talent and respecting the diversity that enables us to innovate with insight.
Environment and sustainability
We are committed to growing Cobham in a way that is sustainable environmentally and economically, through continued investment in people, processes and technology.
Innovation
Many of our products are unseen by the end user, but they are at the heart of critical systems in spacecraft, aircraft, ships and submarines. Cobham’s innovative technology is helping to ‘catch bad guys’ and ‘bring good guys home’, like the US astronauts who depend on us for every space walk.
