Welcome to the AWE Hub

What if you could work on something that you can’t test… but cannot afford to fail? That could have spent years on a submarine, is launched into outer space (where the temperature is below -250c); comes hurtling through the atmosphere, being heated up and shaken and then must work? Some challenge.

That’s exactly what the team of over 7,000 people at AWE do every day: delivering important work, in support of the most important mission – keeping the nation safe.

We recruit from all STEM disciplines.

We sponsor the Design & Manufacturing sector in the 2024/25 Gradcracker Toolkit
