Welcome to AWE
We design and manufacture warheads and provide nuclear services to meet the needs of defence.
We design, develop, manufacture, and maintain the UK’s nuclear warheads that our submarines carry. This has been our mission for 75 years.
The UK’s nuclear deterrent only works because AWE’s people make it work. We need talented and ambitious people to join us in our work.
