Job Description:

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.

About the role

Control and Instrumentation (C&I) is one of the critical professions, playing a vital role in our mission to keep the nation safe and secure. As a C&I engineer, you will work on systems that measure and control various processes essential to our operations.

C&I engineers develop and maintain systems that monitor and adjust different aspects of complex operations, such as the flow of water, or the temperature of a room, or the controlling and operating of our Orion LASER system. Your role will involve creating, simplifying, and automating these processes to ensure they function safely & seamlessly at the touch of a button.

During your apprenticeship, you will learn how to:

• Work with advanced measurement systems that monitor pressure, level, flow, temperature, and more.
• Develop and implement control systems that adjust processes based on these measurements.
• Utilise both hardware and software to design, automate, and maintain machinery and processes.

If you are passionate about technology and are eager to develop skills that are critical to national safety and security, our C&I apprenticeship is the perfect opportunity for you.

Part of your training will be at the Skills Academy to develop a basic knowledge of C&I and learn the associated skills. By joining our C&I team, you will gain hands-on experience with a range of systems, from everyday household appliances to cutting-edge industrial equipment. Your work will directly contribute to the efficiency and safety of our operations, making a tangible impact on our mission.

About You:

• A practical aptitude for engineering or technology
• Excellent team working skills
• Awareness of health and safety
• Ability to follow instructions
• A passion and motivation for this profession

If you have an interest in understanding how Engineering Systems function, understanding Safe Systems of Work, enjoy being hands on, and applying engineering principles into real life scenarios, then we would love to hear from you!

Start date - August 2025.

Duration - 3-4 years (varies depending on personal performance)

Requirements

• 5 GCSEs at grade 4/C or above, including English at grade 5/B or above and Mathematics at 4/C
• 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.
• A starting salary of £16,750 yearly, increasing annually throughout your apprenticeship
• Market leading contributory pension scheme
• Generous holiday entitlement of 270 hours a year (inclusive of Bank Holidays) plus every other Friday off
• Access to employee discounts portal - everyday savings on retail, hospitality and leisure
• 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 whilst helping us to continue to deliver national nuclear security, threat reduction and counter-terrorism solutions.
