DEEP is an international design and engineering company on a mission to make humans aquatic. We're doing this by advancing ocean exploration through the development of new technologies that will enable humans to live and work in underwater environments for longer periods of time. 95% of the ocean is unexplored. Countless discoveries are waiting to be made, and knowledge gained, that will benefit our planet and all of humanity. The challenge is access, and that's where DEEP comes in. We're building subsea human habitats to enable research at depth and increase our understanding of the ocean, so we can help protect it.

DEEP Manufacturing, based in Avonmouth (Bristol) offers advanced manufacturing capabilities and expertise in large-format metal additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping and material testing. Our advanced manufacturing facilities include a state-of-the-art robotics suite, offering 3D printing services and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) capabilities which means we can deliver manufacturing projects in less time and at lower costs compared to traditional manufacturing processes.

We're a team of highly experienced engineering, operations and safety experts, with a funding model that allows us the freedom to think long term and pursue our mission without traditional restraints. We want to drive progress at the forefront of deep‑sea innovation and discovery to become stewards of the ocean and reshape our relationship with our planet. As an organization with multi‑generational objectives and ambitious goals, the values we bring to work every day are critical:

• Be Curious - Find a better way and ask why not? Answers are easy, questions are hard - ask original questions and be a curiosity catalyst!
• Be Exceptional - It will take the most intelligent, talented and creative people on the planet working together to achieve DEEP's mission. Get it done, be relentless in your pursuit of excellence, and demand excellence from everyone.
• Be Fearless - No one has done this on the scale we're doing it before. Impossible things must be done for the first time. We are the team pushing boundaries!
• Be Good - Cultivate passion and thrive together. Be safe, take intelligent risks, but never compromise the safety of the team - ever!

At DEEP, we celebrate and embrace diversity and inclusion and strongly believe that the best innovations come from diverse perspectives. We invite applicants from all backgrounds to join us in creating technology that makes a meaningful impact on humanity, our oceans and planet.
