What if you could work with remarkable people on extraordinary things? What if the end result was something a little bit special? What if your role was mission critical?
For nearly 70 years, AWE has been at the forefront of nuclear weapons research and development. We have a critical mission: to provide the warheads for the UK's ultimate deterrent - Trident. We also use our unique skills to provide wider UK government with counter-terrorism and nuclear threat reduction solutions.
It takes a special sort of person to work at AWE. What if that person was you?
AWE is currently recruiting professional individuals with a thorough knowledge of Eddy Current Testing (ET) used within Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). NDT at AWE is a growing organisation where we welcome candidates from the aerospace, oil and gas, nuclear, rail and military sectors, ideally with an engineering background. We are looking for those individuals who are certified as both Level 2 and Level 3 in ET (EN4179 / PCN / SNT / ASNT / NAS410) to apply. If however, you consider yourself a subject matter expert in eddy current testing, but missing the certification, then we are very much interested in you too!
All training will be provided as well as a career progression supporting NDT qualification to advance your career as a non-destructive testing professional. Our eddy current inspections include manual and automated scanning using a variety of coil types including array systems. If any of these areas is within your skillset or simply within your ambition to learn, then we welcome your application.
This role will be hands-on in the testing of warhead products, to inspect, develop, innovate, and validate future inspections and advise on capability that is fit for nuclear warhead inspections. You will be working in a friendly team of similar professionals where we encourage personal growth to truly develop your potential as world class.
As part of our People Promise, AWE (one of the best 25 big companies to work for in the UK) has a range of benefits to suit you. These include:
