Here at Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S), we’re looking for Junior Engineers to join our team in Filton, Bristol. We’re dedicated to supporting our people to learn, progress, and take that next career step – so let us know your ambitions and we’ll be with you every step of the way. This is a brilliant opportunity to launch your career in Engineering or Safety Engineering and take on a meaningful and rewarding role supporting UK Defence.

You will have the opportunity to benefit from our training onsite, where you will have exposure to our more senior Engineers to upskill and develop you, whilst visiting other UK sites to witness trials for our land equipment.
Due to the nature of security requirements, this role is open to sole UK nationals only.
