A relevant STEM degree or equivalent qualification
Progress towards (or attainment of) Incorporated or Chartered Engineer status is desirable
Why Join?

Work on cutting-edge technology refresh programmes with real-world impact
Gain exposure to a wide network of stakeholders, suppliers, and technical experts
Develop your career with opportunities to grow into senior technical or leadership roles
Be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking engineering environment
Additional Information

Roles are subject to security and export control requirements
Candidates must be eligible to achieve Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS), with potential for higher levels of clearance depending on the role
Typically requires 5-10 years UK residency for security vetting (depending on level)
Closing Date: 10th July 2026
We may close this role early if we receive a high volume of applications, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

If you're looking to step into a role where you can make an impact, grow your career, and work on meaningful engineering challenges, we'd love to hear from you
