Organisation Profile

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 over 75 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.
