Graduate Trainee – Engineering
Job Location
Aldermaston, United Kingdom
Job Description
Start an extraordinary career at AWE; grow your skills, learn from industry experts and become part of a community at one of the most unique companies in the UK.
Our two-year Evolve programme offers you an exciting opportunity to join our P3M career pathway. We’re looking for amazing graduates and aspiring future leaders to join us and shape the future of AWE.
How Evolve will help accelerate your career
As a member of our Graduate Development community, you will be involved in activities linked to our current or future nuclear warheads, nuclear threat reduction, manufacturing solutions or our huge building and infrastructure programme that is delivering the facilities to enable the creation of new products.
You will develop a knowledge of precision components and systems which may cover some or all of: concept generation, design, manufacture and processing, assembly, safety and reliability, maintenance, testing & trials, commissioning.
Due to AWE’s critical role, further technical details of our work are classified. But rest assured, you will be doing remarkably interesting things as part of our expert engineering team!
Placements into real projects will be central to your development. The placement process is flexible to allow a specific focus in a particular technical area or a wide range of diverse project experiences - whichever you prefer. All graduates also receive a core programme of leadership, business and ‘soft skills’ training. You will be supported to start working towards your professional registration as a Chartered Engineer.
What AWE can offer you
- AWE has a highly inclusive culture. You will be supported by colleagues and management to bring your unique contribution to our work.
- You will undergo ‘DV’ security clearance to allow you to work on classified programmes.
- From day one you will be collaborating with like-minded people on challenging problems, and you will encounter many professional and personal development opportunities.
- Depending on your specific placements, you may have the opportunity to interact with UK and overseas partners and customers.
- There is a vibrant early careers community at AWE. You will have the opportunity to socialise with other graduates and undergraduate placement students through organised events, the on-site Recreation Society, and ad-hoc activities.
- You can join any of our six staff-led Equity, Diversity and Inclusion working groups to help guide our supportive work culture.
- You will gain a strong feeling of satisfaction that you are making a real difference to yourself, to AWE and to the safety and security of the UK.
What you will get
- We will give you a competitive total reward package including salary element of £31,000 per annum and benefits including a market leading contributory pension scheme.
- Generous holiday entitlement (270 hours of leave annually including bank holidays)
- Excellent work/life balance
- Nine-day working fortnight (this means you will not work every other Friday)
- A salary-sacrifice benefit scheme
- A welcome payment
- An option of an interest free loan of £1,000 as well as regular Graduate pay reviews
- A structured and supported career progression
- Discounts – access to savings on a wide range of everyday spending across retail, hospitality and leisure
- Life Assurance
- Employee Assistance Programme and Occupational Health Services
Alongside these benefits, you will get the opportunity to learn from some of the top leaders in their field.
