We have one clear mission: to keep everyone and everything around us safe and secure. 

For more than 70 years, AWE has played a crucial role in the UK Government’s nuclear defence strategy. Working to support the defence of our country, our role is to design, manufacture, develop and maintain the warheads for Trident, the UK’s continuous at sea deterrent (CASD). With our specialist nuclear skills, we also provide unique technical assistance to arms control, nuclear security, and response to nuclear or radiological accidents and terrorism. 

Whilst we’re extremely proud of our heritage, we are entirely focused on ensuring that the company, our capabilities, and our people are fit to support the Ministry of Defence, the British Government, and our citizens for the next 70 years. 

Alongside supporting the UK’s nuclear deterrence programme, we are also managing one of the largest infrastructure programmes to deliver a cutting-edge, sustainable science and manufacturing environment, as well as maintaining an estate that spans over 1,000 acres with some very unique buildings. 

AWE is an exciting place to be – come join us.  

Our mission is clear: to keep everyone, and everything around us safe and secure. Forces personnel, regardless of service, rank, grade or employment field understand this, and due to their knowledge and experience, add great value to our organisation and community.
