Ready to play your part?

At AWE, it's not just a job, it's far more than that. Our shared purpose is to help keep the nation safe. Could this role be the opportunity for you to play your part?

AWE is currently recruiting for a Senior Auditor for the Audit Group. You will be joining the business as it embarks on a major transformation programme, to ensure that we can continue to help deliver the UK's nuclear deterrent, both now and in the future. The Internal Audit function is crucial in ensuring that our governance, risk management and control frameworks are designed and operating effectively.

A typical day for a Senior Internal Auditor could look like this:

  • Managing your own allocation of audits, from developing terms of reference through testing to reporting.  
  • Delivering high quality audits within agreed timelines
  • Gaining agreement to audit findings and follow-up of audit issues and actions in collaboration with stakeholders
  • Leading and supporting the development of initiatives aligned with the audit strategy and best practice
  • Identifying and developing improvements to the end-to-end audit process
  • Coaching and mentoring team members

Who are we looking for?

We do need you to have the following:

  • Leading on complex audits and delivering them to time and quality
  • Chartered or Certified member of the Institute of Internal Auditors, or Specialist Professional, Technical, Project Management or Change
  • Knowledge and application of risk based internal auditing, in the context of the three lines model and working with other assurance providers
  • Proficiency with audit techniques to address specific testing needs of individual audit & consultancy assignments
  • Engaging with multiple stakeholders, including senior leaders to facilitate agreement and implementation of recommendations

Whilst not to be considered a tick list, we'd like you to have experience in some of the following:

  • Background in a Science & Technology / Project based / regulated
  • Experience of auditing transformation or major infrastructure projects, manufacturing, cyber security or Environmental, Social and Governance.

You'll need to have the ability to work calmly and constructively in a priority changing environment and be able to manage your own workload. You will also have initiative, enthusiasm, a flexible approach, and ability to work to tight deadlines.

Work hard, be rewarded:

We ask a lot and set the bar high because our work truly matters. In return we offer balance, with award winning benefits including:

  • 9-day working fortnight – meaning you get every other Friday off work, in addition to 270 hours of annual leave.
  • Market leading contributory pension scheme (we will pay between 9% and 13% of your pensionable pay depending on your contributions).
  • Family friendly policies: Maternity Leave - 39 Weeks Full Pay and Paternity Leave - 4 Weeks Full Pay.
  • Opportunities for Professional Career Development including funding for annual membership of a relevant professional body.
  • Employee Assistance Programme and Occupational Health Services.
  • Life Assurance (4 x annual salary).
  • Discounts – access to savings on a wide range of everyday spending.
  • Special Leave Policy including paid time off for volunteering, public service (including reserve forces) and caring.
