Location Bristol

Term Permanent | 37 hours per week

If you’re an engineer who wants to work on real cutting-edge technology, not talk about it, not theorise about it, but actually build it, this is your moment.

The special projects team is not your average engineering division. This is where high-end engineering meets national importance. You will be working with experts in RF, Laser Directed Energy, and Low Observable technology. The kind of work that doesn’t just push boundaries, it redraws them.

Demand is rising, and the stakes are high. This special projects team need a Technical Lead who can step up and deliver when it matters most.

What You Bring

  • Strong background in at least one of the following such as high-power RF, electromagnetic modelling, RF testing, or electronic architecture
  • Proven leadership, where you have built teams, aligned people, and got results
  • Degree in Physics, Electrical, Aeronautical Engineering or similar
  • Project management capability, where you understand delivery, and not just design
  • A willingness to undergo DV clearance at a later stage

What You Get

Bonus Up to 21.25%

Pension Up to 14% combined contribution

Life Assurance 6 x Base Salary

Enhanced parental leave Up to 26 weeks, plus additional support

Healthcare Cash Plan Everyday health costs covered

On-site perks Subsidised meals, free parking, and more

The Reality

This role isn’t for everyone. It’s complex, It’s demanding, and It’s classified.

But if you’re the kind of engineer who wants their work to mean something, and you’re ready to lead at the sharp end of innovation, this is where you can step in.

You will need to be a British citizen, and eligible for UK security clearance.
