AWE is a team of remarkable individuals achieving an extraordinary mission: keeping the nation safe and secure.

Their work is critical. AWE is responsible for delivering the next warhead for the UK's nuclear deterrent, working at the forefront of nuclear technologies to ensure the nation's safety.

AWE's support for the government’s strategy takes many forms: from supporting the weapons programme for the nuclear deterrent, aiding the UK's counter-terrorism efforts, identifying potential nuclear tests worldwide, and building an expert group of individuals to provide the UK with deep expertise in nuclear science and technology.

Start an extraordinary career at AWE, grow your skills, learn from industry experts, and become part of a community at one of the most unique companies in the UK.

Not only has studying an apprenticeship opened up so many different opportunities for me for future career endeavours but it allows to complete my studies whilst working in a hands-on, practical and highly technical environment. Of course, I can’t forget about being able to earn while I learn! I’m glad I chose to do an apprenticeship with AWE at the same level as I’m able to really consolidate what I know whilst expanding my skills continuously. - Matthew, Level 3 Mechanical Maintenance, Aged 20

After completing the initial application, if eligible, candidates will be invited to complete AWE's online assessment stage. Practice assessments will be available, ensuring candidates are fully equipped with the knowledge of what is expected before completing the live assessments.

Those successful at this stage will be invited to AWE's virtual assessment centres, running from 14th October to 14th December 2024, and continuing into January/February 2025. AWE will also hold pre-assessment centre webinars to provide guidance on what to expect.

AWE recruits on a rolling basis, meaning that once positions are filled, the scheme will close to new applications. Therefore, candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to avoid missing out.

Candidates must be willing and able to obtain and maintain the necessary security clearance for the role. Please note that applicants must be British citizens to apply for a position with AWE.

AWE offers a career with an employer that genuinely invests in individuals and works with them to develop their potential. Employees have the opportunity to work in world-class facilities, gaining knowledge, skills, and behaviours that will equip them for a world-class future.

AWE's apprenticeships range from Level 3 Advanced to Level 6 Bachelor’s Degree, covering a broad spectrum of skills from Engineering to Project Management. Regardless of the chosen path, from day one, apprentices join a programme that develops not only their technical capabilities but also the skills required for success in future roles.

Each apprentice receives one-to-one support and training, providing both the knowledge and understanding of the role, alongside work placements that offer the opportunity to develop while in the role.

I studied Maths, Physics and Computer Science at 6th form which gave me the theoretical knowledge, but it was this apprenticeship that raised my practical knowledge up to the same level. Without it I wouldn’t have the confidence and quality in my work to meet the standards of AWE and start my career in the professional engineering world. After completing my apprenticeship in Mechatronics, I am specialising in electronics where the company is paying for me to go and complete my degree achieving the same standard as a level 6 apprenticeship. - Chris, Level 3 Mechatronics Maintenance, Aged 20
