IT Intern

Edinburgh Airport’s IT delivery team sits within the IT department, which is part of the wider technical assets’ function. It oversees and ensures the successful delivery of IT change to the business and the operation.

Change is of a varied nature, ranging from small 3^rd party retail set-ups to complex infrastructure projects. The team gets involved at all stages of the project lifecycle, from the initiation phase where we’re helping identify what needs to be delivered, all the way through to handover, and ensuring it is fit for purpose for the operational teams.

You can find out more about the team here, and read about our internships FAQ here, our internships will last for 10-12 weeks during summer and will be full time (40 hours).

The recruitment process for this role will be comprised of 2 interviews. The first interview will be an initial Teams call, as an introduction call to some members of the team. The second stage will be an in person interview, with a short presentation (subject will depend on the successful candidates area of preference).
