Full Time, On-site

We have an exciting opportunity for specialists who have nuclear safety engineering experience or would like to train in this area so that you could help power the submarines of today and build the solutions for tomorrow.

Leadership Opportunities in Safety Engineering

In addition to technical specialist roles, we are also seeking experienced individuals to step into key leadership positions across our growing Safety Engineering function.
