For more than 70 years, AWE has played a crucial role in keeping everyone and everything around us safe and secure. We support the defence of our country, and our role is to design, manufacture, develop and maintain the warheads for Trident, the UK’s continuous at sea deterrent (CASD).
AWE is striving to create workplaces where we recognise and celebrate differences, encourage diverse contributions and our employees feel able to be themselves at work. Our aim is to create a genuine culture of openness and inclusion at AWE and encourage diverse applicants.
Taking a break doesn’t mean you can’t restart your career. Through our STEM* Returners (*science, technology, engineering and maths) programme you’ll be able to apply your skills, develop your potential and create your own success, as well as play your part in protecting your friends, family, and future generations.
Let your talent shine through at AWE. Come join our team, we will provide the support you need to help your career regain its sparkle.
You’ll make a real difference – by playing a crucial role keeping everyone and everything around us safe and secure for generations to come.
Security Clearance:
Because what we do is of the highest security, to work at AWE you will need to be a British National and normally to have resided in the UK for the past five years for Security Clearance (SC) roles and ten years for Developed Vetting (DV) roles. If you have had periods when you lived outside of the UK and Northern Ireland for less than a year during the last five years or less than two years during the last ten years, we may still be able to consider your application.
We may also consider dual nationality for certain roles.
All candidates must be willing and able to obtain and maintain the necessary clearance for the role they are applying for and the clearance process can take some time, but AWE will manage this on your behalf and you do not need to currently hold clearance to apply for any of our roles.
