Principal Internal Regulator Peer Review

What if you could work with remarkable people on extraordinary things? What if the end result was something a little bit special? What if your role was mission critical?

For nearly 70 years, AWE has been at the forefront of nuclear weapons research and development. We have a critical mission: to provide the warheads for the UK's ultimate deterrent - Trident. We also use our unique skills to provide wider UK government with counter-terrorism and nuclear threat reduction solutions.

It takes a special sort of person to work at AWE. What if that person was you?

We need an AWEsome Principal Internal Regulator to join our team of Peer Reviewers.

Salary Range: Starts at £55,440, this is very much open to negotiation.

What's exciting is:

Each day is different, you'll never be bored.
