Let us introduce the role.

AWE is currently recruiting for Mechanical Maintenance Engineers to work within our Maintenance Teams.

This role is ideally suited to a maintenance engineer who enjoys a hands-on role carrying out preventive and reactive maintenance on state-of-the-art plant, processes, and facilities. The work will be on a range of systems including HVAC, pumps, rotating machinery, steam, and condensate systems.

Joining our maintenance team means that you will be at the forefront of all we do, maintaining critical facilities infrastructure as part of a close-knit team delivering best-in-class service.

Who are we looking for?

We do need you to have the following:

• Engineering Apprenticeship NVQ/Diploma Level 3 in a relevant discipline or NVQ/Diploma Level 2 plus industrial experience.
• A recognised relevant qualification such as City & Guilds, ONC, or BTEC Level 3.

Everyone who works at AWE brings unique skills and perspectives to the table. We recognise that great people don't always 'tick every box'. That's why we focus on your potential, your fit with our values, your transferable skills, as well as your experience. Even if you don't meet every point below, but you feel that this role and AWE are a great fit for you, please go ahead and apply; we'd love to receive your application.

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

• Planned, predictive, and reactive maintenance on commercial systems.
• Adhering to a strong safety culture and working to industry standards.
• Previous experience in a building, plant, or manufacturing environment.

Some reasons we think you'll love it here:

AWE has a wide range of benefits to suit you. These include:

• 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).
• 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.
• Relocation assistance (conditions apply).

The 'Working at AWE' page on our website is where you can find full details in the 'AWE Benefits Guide.'

Important things you need to know:

• You will need to obtain and maintain the necessary security clearance for the role. This will be funded by AWE. The nature of our work does mean you need to be a British Citizen who has been resident in the UK for the past 5 years in order to apply for SC clearance and 10 years for DV.
• We want you to feel comfortable and able to shine during our recruitment process. Please let us know on your application form if you need any adjustments/accommodations during the process.

Due to the classified nature of the work involved, there are limited opportunities to work from home in this role. It is anticipated that the successful candidate will spend the majority of their time working on site at AWE Aldermaston.
