Overview
A Submarine, like any vehicle, requires regular inspection and maintenance - though on a far larger and more complex scale. This role is part of BAE Systems’ Submarines business, which has been delivering world‑class submarines to the UK Royal Navy for more than a century.
Our Submarines business has been safely delivering world‑class submarines to the UK Royal Navy for more than a century. The Astute class will equip the Royal Navy with its largest and most capable generation of attack submarines. We are responsible for the design, build, test and commissioning of these state‑of‑the‑art vessels. In total, seven boats will make up the fleet. Dreadnought is the successor to the Vanguard class of nuclear‑deterrent submarines, and we will deliver four submarines to the Royal Navy, with the first entering service in the early 2030s.
Responsibilities
* Identifying necessary maintenance, determining required tools and spares and analysing equipment reliability and availability.
* Applying engineering and logistic principles to develop operational support solutions.
* Strong problem‑solving skills are essential to understand how systems and components function and break down into repairable parts.
* Developing and applying knowledge of Supportability Engineering and Integrated Product Support (IPS) including processes, tools, systems and techniques. Ensuring submarines remain safe, effective and ready for continuous deployment and long‑term operational success.
Ever wondered what keeps a submarine running smoothly beneath the waves? As a Support Engineering Apprentice, you’ll help to develop the maintenance solution to support vital systems—ensuring the Royal Navy stays mission‑ready, every single day.
Qualifications
* 5 GCSEs (or equivalent) at grade 9‑4 / A‑C, which must include Maths & English & a Science / Technical Subject.
