Diversity, equality and inclusion

One goal, one team is a crucial part of our principles. That’s why we embrace diversity and have over 23 nationalities working together to achieve our mission. We believe that diversity fuels innovation, and as leaders in our field, we know that finding the solutions we seek is only possible thanks to people from all walks of life who share our Clean Sky Thinking. With such a diverse team, possibilities and potential are a given, and we’re excited to see what the next ZeroAvian brings to the table. Being one team means celebrating and respecting our differing experiences and viewpoints – inclusion means everyone who works here feels part of ZeroAvia.

Learning and development

We take our people’s development seriously. Each engineering department has its own training budget and you can request training during the end-of-year and mid-year review cycle. We’re conscious that non-monetary investment adds pace, traction, and impact to our work so we can achieve our mission. Everyone completes a suite of e-learning modules before passing their probation, and we host an annual Hydrogen summit to bring together the best global talent and provide an overview of sector developments. We’re currently engineering a leadership development programme that will include a 360 appraisal and coaching to support ZeroAvians with high potential.
