We're a team of remarkable people achieving an extraordinary mission: keeping the nation safe and secure.   

Our work is critical. We are 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.  

  

Start an extraordinary career; grow your skills, learn from industry experts and become part of a community at one of the most unique companies in the UK.

As a Quality Inspector Apprentice your role will include inspection of various mechanical and electrical components that are used within a production or trials environment, working to process written procedures and using your knowledge and experience to interpret requirements directly from drawings. These tasks may include the use of first principle measurements, using a variety of hand instruments, through to computer guided purpose-made precision measurement equipment. 

 

As a Quality apprentice you will initially be based within the Skills Academy, where you will develop your basic knowledge and core skills, before progressing on to the onsite aspect of your training. At this point you will start to apply and further develop these core skills in a live working environment. In addition to the vocational aspects of your training, we will further your knowledge of quality through academic studies as you work towards the completion of your Level 3 Engineering Technician (Pathway 13. Technical Support Technician) Standard.

  • Understanding how mechanical and electrical assemblies work 
  • Understanding how and why the physical properties of a product matter 
  • Studying how components can be assessed, measured and reported 
  • Applying engineering principles into real life scenarios 
  • Using a practical application to find out about the things around you 
  • Having a hands-on approach to problem solving

  • Applicants 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. 

 

If you currently hold a Level 3 Diploma in Engineering or similar, you should consider applying for a degree level apprenticeship. 

Benefits

  • We offer our apprentices a starting salary of £16750, increasing annually throughout your apprenticeship 
  • Market leading contributory pension scheme
