**Job summary**:
The Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA) is a part of the Ministry of Defence responsible for the procurement, in-service support, and disposal of the UK’s nuclear submarines. Our work is of unparalleled strategic importance nationally and internationally, ensuring the security of the UK’s continuous at-sea nuclear deterrent, and delivering some of the most technically complex programmes in defence. Since April 1969, the Royal Navy has delivered the Continuous At-Sea Deterrent (CASD) under the codename ‘Operation Relentless’.

These submarines provide the ultimate guarantee of our national security. What we do is vital to this guarantee.

At the SDA, it’s our people that make us great. We believe that everyone should feel comfortable to be themselves and be supported to do their best work.
