AWE is actively recruiting across all areas and at all career stages.

We offer many different opportunities across all business functions, from Human Resources to Supply Chain, Corporate Affairs, Science and of course Engineering and everything in between. Our Engineering opportunities cover the whole production lifecycle, from development, through manufacturing and supporting our systems, to decommissioning.

We’re also recruiting people in our extensive capital build programme, and in our enabling and corporate service functions, which ensure our people have the facilities, tools, equipment and support they require for their roles.  

We recognise that inclusive and diverse teams are integral to a successful business, and our employee-led networks help steer us to our inclusion goals.  One such network is our Armed Forces, Veterans, Reservists and Cadet Volunteer Community, born out of AWE’s membership of the Ministry of Defence Employee Recognition Scheme (ERS)2.
