  • Advising on construction law and regulatory compliance (building codes, environmental regulation, and safety standards), and construction risk management.


  • NEC contract experience.


  • Experience of working in the defence and nuclear sectors.


We recognise that great people don't always 'tick every box'. That's why we focus on your potential, your fit with our values, your transferable skills as well as your experience. Even if you don't meet every point above, but you feel that this role and AWE are a great fit for you, please go ahead and apply, we'd love to receive your application.

Some of reasons why we think you'll love it here:

  • 9-day working fortnight - meaning you get every other Friday off work.


  • 270 hours holiday


  • Market leading contributory pension scheme (we will pay between 9% and 13% of your pensionable pay depending on your contributions).
