· Keep up-to-date with future technologies and how they could be incorporated into our designs;

· Be part of a team interacting directly with our customers at meetings and during surveys of ships and submarines;

· Help develop in-service modifications for in-service naval and commercial marine vessels.

To be considered for these positions you’ll need a minimum GCSE grade 4 (C) and above in Maths, English and Science-based subjects.
