The maintenance of the Royal Navy’s ships and submarines is fundamental to its ability to defend our nation and its interests. On this programme, you will learn how the Facilities Engineering Design team directly supports the maintenance of these critical assets, developing a deep understanding of design and maintenance processes and equipment.
You’ll work with a team of engineers in one of the Mechanical and Nuclear Process Group teams, who act as the Technical Authority for all mechanical systems and nuclear processes on the Devonport site, to ensure that the reference designs are maintained and kept up to date.
You may also be involved in nuclear safety implicated design tasks that require a high degree of technical substantiation. You’ll learn about different facilities on site and the design and safety due process applied to ensure that all facilities and equipment are safe, fit for purpose and comply with legislation.
We will provide you with a supportive and engaging environment where you can grow your career.
