Reading, United Kingdom AWE Full time
What if you could work with remarkable people on extraordinary things? What if the end result was something a little bit special? What if your role was mission critical?

For nearly 70 years, AWE has been at the forefront of nuclear weapons research and development. We have a critical mission: to provide the warheads for the UK s ultimate deterrent - Trident. We also use our unique skills to provide wider UK government with counter-terrorism and nuclear threat reduction solutions.

It takes a special sort of person to work at AWE. What if that person was you?

AWE has an exciting opportunity for a Procurement Manager to join our growing team, focusing on the procurement of capital investment projects covering construction, site infrastructure improvements, and asset replacement, refurbishment, and demolition.

  • Manage the day-to-day procurement of complex infrastructure solutions, including alliances and strategic partnerships.
  • Support the development and implementation of relevant procurement processes, contributing to a culture that shares best practice and strives to continuously improve.
  • Ensure compliance with government procurement regulations and AWE s structured procurement processes.


We would love to hear from you if you are experienced in:
  • Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating complex contractual arrangements, preferably using a variety of pricing arrangements and incentive models under NEC contracts.
  • Developing and implementing tender, evaluation, and negotiation strategies, including subcontract provisions and selection.
  • Strategic category management, with an understanding and appreciation of modern procurement practices.
  • Working in cross-functional teams across multiple programmes, alongside managing multiple stakeholders and priorities.
  • Operating within complex procurement industries such as defence, nuclear, utilities, or highways.


You will also ideally be MCIPS qualified, or willing to work towards CIPS membership as part of your ongoing development plan.

Package: from £46,000 to £60,000 (depending on your suitability and level of experience)
