What we do: We help manufacturers take on bigger challenges - whether that's building cleaner aircraft, scaling up offshore wind, or strengthening the UK's supply chains. We deliver practical outcomes, not prototypes that sit on shelves.

Who we work with: We work across 16 sectors, from defence and energy to infrastructure and space. Some projects are with global tier 1s, others with small UK firms solving one specific problem - the work is always varied, and always real.

What it's like here: We are not a startup or a corporate. We are a national centre with the kit, time and people to do the job properly. The teams are focused, the thinking is sharp, and you will be trusted to get on with it.

Why this job matters: This role isn't just internal support - it's part of how we deliver nationally important work. If we do our job right, the UK's manufacturers can do theirs better.
