About MBDA Stevenage
As a leading defence company in Europe, we are proud to design and manufacture missiles and missile systems used to protect the UK and its allies. We provide products and services to each branch of the armed forces, working in partnership with the MOD, our European MBDA companies, and other defence manufacturers towards common goals.
Stevenage is our largest and most diverse site in the UK, with a real ‘campus feel' to it. In addition to a wide variety of labs, testing facilities and offices, we have an on-site gym, secure parking, and heavily subsidised eateries, serving delicious hot and cold food. You will even find umbrellas by the doors to keep you dry on your stroll to our atrium cafe!
Situated a few minutes' walk from Stevenage train station, and moments from the A1(M), our site is an easy commute from numerous places, including London, the Midlands, Cambridgeshire and more. With most roles offering hybrid-working options, there's a good chance you'll only need to travel from home to site a few days a week anyway!
Opportunities for Experienced Professionals
We are always looking to expand and diversify our talent pool, as we know that a diverse workplace breeds collaboration and innovation.
We are proud to be an inclusive employer and we welcome and encourage applicants from all backgrounds. MBDA representatives from some of our inclusivity employee networks will be in attendance on the day of the event, should you wish to discuss anything with them.
At MBDA, we bring together experts from a range of engineering and business disciplines, and wider industry skillsets, to innovate, create and build products and services that can be used by our armed forces and their allies. Put another way, we develop solutions that face the threats of today and tomorrow.
We're always looking to speak with people who have unique experiences and perceptions to help us expand the expertise of our teams. In return, you'll get to work with some of the brightest and most inquisitive minds in the industry to help you grow and develop too.
