We are AWE, a team of remarkable people achieving an extraordinary mission: keeping the nation safe and secure.
Our work is critical. We deliver the next warhead for the UK's nuclear deterrent and work at the forefront of nuclear technologies that keep the nation safe.
AWE's 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.
Year in Industry OpportunityWe are offering a rewarding and exciting one-year placement as an Undergraduate Engineer at AWE - a role where you will make a genuine contribution to keeping the UK safe and secure.
The opportunities to explore a placement at AWE are endless across our engineering function.
Completing your industrial placement at AWE gives you exposure to the exciting and unique world of nuclear warhead design and commissioning, multi-million-pound civil and construction projects to increase our infrastructure capabilities, as well as vastly important analytical modelling, virtual reality testing, additive manufacturing, and so much more.
What to ExpectAWE has a highly inclusive culture. You will be supported by colleagues and management to bring your unique contribution to our work.
You will undergo DV security clearance to allow you to work on classified programmes.
From Day 1, you will be collaborating with like-minded people on challenging problems, and you will encounter many development opportunities within the role.
You will develop a work plan at the start of your placement that will help you to track your progress, achieve your goals, and meet our programme needs.
Depending on the team you are assigned to, you may have the opportunity to interact with UK and overseas partners and customers.
There is a vibrant early careers community at AWE, and you will have the opportunity to socialise across the multi-disciplinary group of undergraduate placement students and new graduates.
You can join any of our six staff-led Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion working groups to help guide our supportive work culture.
You will learn about AWE and develop a pathway to re-join us once you graduate (if you wish) on our Evolve graduate development scheme.
The Behaviours We're Looking ForCandidates will be studying for a degree within an engineering field, including manufacturing, mechanical, design, aerospace, automotive, chemical, electrical, robotics, mechatronic, systems, materials, civil, and nuclear engineering.
We're looking for individuals with a growth mindset, who are full of grit and determination, and who are clear about where they're going and how they'll get there.
We want people who are curious, who love to think outside the box, and who are open to learning about new technologies and ground-breaking ideas.
We're also looking for individuals who are resilient, who are advocates of speaking up for themselves and others openly and constructively, and who are dependable and reliable.
You will be based at Aldermaston, near Reading, Berkshire. There may be opportunities to work in other locations, depending on projects available at the time, such as Green Park in Reading, Leicester Space Park, or other AWE hubs across the country.
The BenefitsYou will have the opportunity to learn from subject matter experts and to develop skills that are applicable across many industries.
Successful candidates will receive a salary of £22,250, a market-leading contributory pension scheme, every second Friday off, 270 hours of annual leave a year, and access to the employee discounts portal.
