About the Role

We're a team of remarkable people achieving an extraordinary mission: keeping the nation safe and secure. Our work is critical, and we're responsible for delivering the next warhead for the UK's nuclear deterrent, working at the forefront of nuclear technologies that keep the nation safe.

Our support for the government's strategy takes many facets, from supporting the weapon programme for the nuclear deterrent, supporting the UK's counter terrorist programme, identifying where there may be nuclear tests taking place around the world, and building an expert group of individuals in order to give the UK real depth in nuclear science and technology.

What You'll Do

As a Control and Instrumentation (C&I) engineer, you'll develop and maintain systems that monitor and adjust different aspects of complex operations, such as the flow of water, or the temperature of a room, or the controlling and operating of our Orion LASER system.

  • You'll work with advanced measurement systems that monitor pressure, level, flow, temperature, and more.
  • You'll develop and implement control systems that adjust processes based on these measurements.
  • You'll utilise both hardware and software to design, automate, and maintain machinery and processes.

As a Technical Author, you'll generate written instructions on how to perform technical tasks in a safe, controlled way. You'll produce documentation that explains how to safely build, support, and service the UK's nuclear deterrent, including collecting and editing complex information, producing new documents, and testing what you've written with content users.

Your Career Path

During your apprenticeship, you'll spend 18 months in the Skills Academy developing a basic knowledge of C&I and learning the associated skills. You'll then spend 18 months split between 3-month placements within different areas of the business applying your skills in a live working environment. After 3 years, your apprenticeship is completed, and you'll become a qualified maintenance engineer. Your final year will be spent building your skills as a Technical Author, gaining a Diploma in Technical Communication.

About You

We're looking for someone with a practical aptitude for engineering or technology, a good command of grammar and vocabulary, excellent team working skills, good communication skills, awareness of health and safety, and the ability to follow instructions. You'll also need to be passionate and motivated about this profession.

Requirements
  • You'll need 5 GCSEs at grade 4/C or above, including English at grade 5/B or above and Mathematics at 4/C.
  • You must be aged 16 or over, as of 31st August 2025, due to security clearance requirements.
  • You must be a British National to apply for a role with us.
Benefits
  • You'll receive a starting salary of £16,750 yearly, increasing annually throughout your apprenticeship.
  • You'll have access to a market-leading contributory pension scheme.
  • You'll get a generous holiday entitlement of 270 hours a year (inclusive of Bank Holidays) plus every other Friday off.
  • You'll have access to an employee discounts portal, everyday savings on retail, hospitality, and leisure.
  • You'll have access to an Employee Assistance Programme and Occupational Health Services.
