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.

- Confident in leading team performance, effectively assigning and organising workloads appropriately to manage delivery.
- Empowering teams to take ownership and use their judgement to provide timely personalised responses in a way that appropriately balances the needs of our stakeholder.
