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?

Location: We are in the Berkshire countryside between Reading and Basingstoke.

**Salary**: From £35,810 depending on experience and suitability.

AWE has been voted one of the best 25 big companies to work for in the UK. As part of our People Promise, we have a range of benefits to suit you. These include:

- Time to recharge your batteries with 270 hours of annual leave (including bank holidays, plus every other Friday off).
- Opportunities for Professional Career Development that include funding for the annual membership of a relevant professional body, and access to mentors & training.
- Employee assistance programme and occupational health services.
- Market leading contributory pension scheme.
- AWE life assurance.
- Discounts & salary sacrifice scheme - access to savings on a wide range of everyday spending.
- Confident in working collaboratively with stakeholders across all levels and with external bodies and overseas partners.
- A clear and concise communication style, both written and verbal.
- An organisational flare is key, with a keen eye for detail and efficient record keeping skills.
- Positive, proactive attitude and willingness to be hands-on in a fast-paced, growing company.
- The ability to analyse, and interpret data, charts, spreadsheets, and schedules.
- Excellent IT skills including MS Office, Excel, and PowerPoint.
- Ability to effectively prioritise workload, resources, and deadlines within high pressure complex environments.

Key Accountabilities:

- Support the identification of new requirements, develop justification, and outline schedules.
- Support transformation activities and project delivery to time, cost, and quality.
- Review and coordinate amendments to contractual and operational documents and relevant annexes.
- Work with DNO and tech centres to support the development and delivery of Integrated Plans.
- Coordinate Service and Surveillance integration and manage required tasking.
- Liaise with internal AWE and external DNO/US stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities:

- Support the GFA Manager to maintain and promote strong working relationships with US counterparts and DNO colleagues.
- Lead, initiate, and perform risk and opportunity identification and subsequent actions.
- Proactively coordinate a variety of stakeholders to ensure inputs required and/or changes to reports are communicated and understood.
- As this role works closely with US counterparts, there may be a requirement for occasional late afternoon/evening meetings, as well as travel within the UK and to the US.
- The Company may require you to fulfil any other reasonable duties aligned to your position from time to time in line with business needs.

There will be the opportunity to travel with this role, typically once every three months within UK for a short trip. In time there will be the opportunity to travel to the USA, up to two trips per year.

The role is based on site, with the primary office being behind card access control systems (CACS). Hybrid working is limited for this role due to the nature of what we do, there may be the ability to work from home one day a fortnight. We work flexibly wherever possible and can accommodate late or early start and finishes - within fulltime hours.
