We're a team of remarkable people working on 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. We're 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.

You'll gain a variety of skills including setting up rigs, maintenance and set up of basic pipe fittings, and making crank sets. Other skills will include disassembling and reassembling equipment such as vacuum pumps, Ogden pumps, and calorifiers. Further experience gained during your apprenticeship will include using hydraulic lifting equipment, cranes, compressed air, heater batteries, and air ventilation systems. You'll also learn how to make gaskets, pipework (which you'll also pressure-test), and re-build gearboxes.
