About Us:
HeliMods is a leading aerospace technology company, operating from a world-class facility in Queensland. We are renowned for our innovative products and services that enable critical missions such as emergency medical retrieval, search and rescue, aerial policing and disaster relief.
Our commitment to supporting local communities has always been a key aspect of our business strategy. As part of this, we provide opportunities for High School students to gain hands-on experience in aerospace, aviation, design, engineering, manufacturing and supply chain.
The work experience program allows students to participate in designing an item of their own creation in CAD (Computer Aided Design), and printing it on one of our 3D printers with the support of our experienced engineers. This provides students with a unique opportunity to understand the options open to them in the workforce and the high school electives they could pursue ahead of tertiary education.
To ensure the success of our work experience students, we expect those who participate to be inquisitive, self-driven and enthusiastic about learning. Our team will do its best to make the experience interesting and enriching for all students, although things can get busy at times. We ask participants to be respectful of this and aware of the demands placed on our team.
We have flexible working hours to accommodate the needs of our students. Participants will need to wear long pants, enclosed shoes and an appropriate shirt (collared for male students) and bring their own lunch. Throughout the experience, our aim is to provide students with a great time exploring the world of aerospace engineering and manufacturing, and to support them on their STEM journey.
