We offer a range of hybrid and flexible working arrangements – please speak to your recruiter about the options for this particular role.

Salary: Competitive

Who we are:

Join BAE Systems and you’ll be part of something bigger. As a valued member of our global colleague network, you’ll bring your unique skills and perspectives to help pioneer progress and protect what matters most. You’ll be trusted to play your part in delivering advanced, technology-led defence, aerospace and security solutions, shaping a safer future for all of us. From the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of space, there’s no limit to where a career at BAE Systems could take you.

What you will be doing:

In this role, you’ll support the commissioning of first of class electrical power and distribution systems for the next generation Dreadnought submarines. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Build Operations, the Royal Navy and MOD to ensure all commissioning activities are delivered safely, compliantly and to the highest technical standards.

Core duties:

  • Carry out commissioning and testing activities with limited supervision in a high-risk environment
  • Liaise with Engineering, Royal Navy, MOD and Build Operations teams to ensure activities are completed safely and compliantly
  • Research, author and review design and test documentation
  • Maintain full and accurate records of all work activities in accordance with policy, procedure and legislation
  • Support and mentor less experienced team members within your area of expertise
  • Represent the company during Factory Acceptance Tests, offsite testing, contractor sea trials and other outworking activities, including potential overseas travel
  • Deliver assigned activities in line with company policy, procedures and legislative requirements

Essential Skills:

  • Knowledge of AC and DC electrical generation and power distribution systems
  • Experience working with electrical distribution systems, fire protection systems and electrical testing
  • Understanding of instrumentation systems including Electrostatic Discharge, Low Voltage Control, Data Communications, PLCs and Fibre Optics
  • Knowledge of safety controls and procedures within a high-risk environment
  • Awareness of Nuclear Site Licence and Authorisation Conditions

The Electrical Commissioning Team:

Join the Electrical Commissioning Team responsible for commissioning the first of class electrical power and distribution plant on the Dreadnought submarine programme. The Dreadnought Programme will deliver four SSBNs to the Royal Navy, supporting the UK’s Continuous At Sea Deterrence (CASD) capability. Relocation support packages are available across all Submarines roles, subject to meeting eligibility criteria.

A place where everyone can thrive:

We’re committed to building an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and supported. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified people and encourage discussion of reasonable adjustments where needed.

Please be aware that many roles at BAE Systems are subject to security and export control restrictions. Applicants must meet Baseline Personnel Security Standard, and many roles require higher levels of National Security Vetting, including 5–10 years continuous UK residency depending on the role.

Why BAE Systems?

Here you’ll build a career with purpose and limitless possibilities. Lifelong learning, meaningful work, and a supportive culture enable you to grow with confidence. You’ll be recognised for your contribution and supported with rewards that matter most to you.

Closing Date: 22nd September 2026

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications. If you are interested, please apply as early as possible.
