MBDA is a leading defence manufacturer in Europe, specialising in the design, production and delivery of missiles and missile systems, which help protect us against the threats of today and tomorrow.
Our 5,000+ employees in the UK work together to develop products to the highest of standards and innovations, often working on technologies not available to wider markets. We are trusted by governments and every branch of the armed forces to deliver technologies that meet future needs.
As an employer, we want to create a workplace that is welcoming and inclusive for all, regardless of industry or personal backgrounds, and welcome applications from all. Across MBDA group, we are committed to supporting individuals with a disability and in the UK, we have already undertaken an accessibility self-assessment and site audits at our main UK sites. Our newly formed Inclusion & Accessibility Steering Group will drive our focus on improving accessibility as we continue on our journey of inclusion.
As a STEM employer within the defence industry, we do face real challenges around diversity. We are working hard to tackle those challenges through partnerships, like here with STEM returners, as well as through STEM-outreach projects within our local communities, to inspire the engineers of tomorrow.
Work-life balance is a vital part of that and so our Dynamic Working commitments (such as overtime pay and hybrid working) are written into our employment contracts. This, as well as other workplace benefits, such as enhanced parental leave, mean our people are trusted to work in ways that suit both their own needs and those of the organisation.
We are proud to be a proven employer of choice, having featured in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2023, and Glassdoor Best Places to Work 2022. We hold Gold awards for every Investors in People category, including employee wellbeing. And we have continuously maintained Gold on the Armed Forces Covenant Employee Recognition Scheme.
