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? Information Services and Security have a vital role to play in a crucial national mission. We’re here to enable the organisation to deliver through the use of technology.
