Our mission is to safely build the Future Materials Campus, which acts as a catalyst to both transform AWE and enable the UK's role in national science expertise and global security for generations to come.'
The Future Materials Campus, or FMC, is at heart an infrastructure project, building seven state-of-the-art facilities to enable the nuclear security technologies and science for generations to come. Trusted by government, AWE will deliver this complex infrastructure programme which will provide the capability to manufacture, test and store materials needed for the country's continuous at sea deterrent (CASD). Learning from industry best-practice, this multi-year endeavour will be delivered in partnership with our supply chain and nurture the skills of engineers and scientists who have yet to be born as the UK revolutionises its national expertise in nuclear science and technologies. The FMC is a massive undertaking - essentially, we are building the same amount of infrastructure delivered by Crossrail on a space the size of the 2012 Olympic Park. You will be working within a multi-discipline design engineering delivery team, providing technical direction, leadership and undertaking process governance throughout the project lifecycle with ultimate design delivery being your accountability.

As the design authority - projects, you shall ensure that our facilities and infrastructure meet the requirements to deliver current and future business operations.
