Research & Technology - In the Technology Management team you would be part of a team of multi-disciplined personnel, responsible for authoring the Submarines Technology Strategy, developing technology roadmaps and planning to realise that strategy, and managing the portfolio management of the R&D projects that deliver those roadmaps.
Materials - In the Materials Technology Team you would become part of a dedicated group of expert metallurgists, welding engineers, and non-metallic material specialists with extensive qualifications and experience. Operating within the materials technology centre, this team establishes material strategies and policies that govern all submarine-related activities while addressing materials challenges across various programs and related business sectors.
Systems - Submarines are intricate systems, posing significant challenges in their design, construction, testing, maintenance, and support. In order to protect the nation, you will be part of a team that aims to tackle these difficulties head on. Systems Engineers play a vital role by dissecting projects into manageable components, facilitating comprehension and implementation at all levels. By investing time upfront to grasp the project's intricacies and requirements, Systems Engineers utilise diverse methodologies and models to foster a shared understanding and successful project execution.
PMS C&I / AVC / SIF / ICPDS - The field of Electrical Engineering encompasses two distinct areas: Internal Communications and Platform Data Systems (ICPDS) and Control and Instrumentation (C&I). In the realm of ICPDS, you will focus on resolving technical challenges related to wire-free communications, digital/IP telephony, POTS, visual surveillance, distributed media systems, broadcast audio, and fibre optics.
Human Factors - The Human Systems Integration Cluster deliver a unique capability comprising of three specialisms: Human Factors, Operability (provision of Submarine Operational Experience) and Training. Your role within this cluster is crucial in ensuring the safety, operability, and habitability of products, systems, processes, environments, and facilities.
PNED - In the Platform Nuclear Engineering Department (PNED) you would be responsible for ensuring the nuclear reactor is safely designed, built and tested, providing the power the submarine needs to protect the nation.Training:An apprenticeship includes regular training with a college or other training organisation.
