Life at Lockheed Martin
At Lockheed Martin, we apply our passion for purposeful innovation to keep people safe and solve the world’s most complex challenges. By creating five pillars covering a number of different areas, we believe this creates an innovative and engaging workplace for our employees to work and experience a mission that matters.
Mission-Focused Innovation:
From aerospace, to outer space, to cyberspace, we give you the chance to solve some of the world’s most complex challenges.
Kirsty M.
"Working at Lockheed Martin for over five years has afforded me with many experiences of solving complex challenges, particularly in the three years I have been a Programme Manager in Lockheed Martin’s Cyber & Intelligence market stream. The work my teams carry out is at the heart of our customer’s Mission." Read more.
Foundational Values:
Our culture of performance excellence, ethics, teamwork and inclusion is embedded in everything we do.
Fred E.
"I have been working for Lockheed Martin for nearly 15 years, joining straight from university as a graduate Human Factors Engineer. I have always been an openly proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, but I did not feel comfortable to be myself in a professional environment initially. I have had overwhelmingly positive experiences as an LGBTQ+ employee, and with my recent progression in to First Line Management, it proves that my initial fears were completely unfounded."

Empowered To Be Your Best:
Make a difference in the lives of others, our customers and our planet.
Dougy W.
"My military service ingrained in me the importance of working together and creating a good team ethos within the organisation and within the wider stakeholder (customer) communities. I bring this with me back into Lockheed Martin and have been very successful in building relationships and teams within the wider customer/stakeholder group – leading to great results for Lockheed Martin and our customer."

Diverse Career Opportunities:
You can grow your career and skills for life with technology-driven learning platforms and programs that enable your development and agility.
Paul H.
"With the help and support of my mentor, I applied for a team lead role within Rotary and Mission Systems and was successful! This role gave me exposure to commercial projects with a very different pace of work. Two years down the line the original management role became available and this time I was successful. This kickstarted a whole new avenue for me." Read more.
Your Health, Your Wealth, Your Life:
Our flexible schedules, competitive pay and comprehensive benefits enable you to live a healthy, fulfilling life at and outside of work.
