AWE
For over 70 years, AWE has played a role of critical national importance: helping deliver the UK’s nuclear deterrent. When the work you do can’t be tested, but also can’t afford to fail, you need the very best in the business at your disposal – and we’re proud to call some of the world’s greatest minds in engineering and science members of our team.
It’s an incredibly exciting time at AWE. We’re in the early stages of a significant programme to design and produce a replacement warhead for the UK’s continuous at sea deterrent. We’re also going through an important infrastructure programme, delivering a cutting-edge, sustainable environment for the future, while maintaining our existing 1,000-acre-plus estate – which already includes some very unique facilities.
The importance of the work we do, to keep the nation safe and deliver a secure future for all, cannot be questioned. We’re at the very forefront of nuclear technology and innovation – and whether it’s the extraordinary people working on our warhead programme, or the talented teams ensuring our sites and facilities are maintained and improved, expert engineers and scientists are pivotal to the delivery of our mission.
Today, AWE’s workforce stands at over 7,000 exceptional people. We’re consistently named as one of the UK’s top 25 best big companies to work for, recognising our commitment to our people and demonstrating that we prioritise employee engagement as a vital part of our success.

Amazon
Amazon has been in the UK for more than 25 years, and now we employ around 75,000 people across the country in a variety of corporate, tech and operations roles (including engineering). We are guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking.
We are a company of builders who bring varying backgrounds, ideas, and points of view to inventing on behalf of our customers, and our diverse perspectives come from many sources including gender, ethnicity, age, national origin, sexual orientation, culture, education, and professional and life experience.
We strive to be a top employer for diverse talent and to make Amazon a place where people want to grow their careers. We believe that building a diverse workforce is not only good for business but also the right thing to do. Through targeted recruitment, mentorship programs, and strategic community partnerships, we are committed to ensuring our employees have equitable opportunities, regardless of their background.
