Why NCC?
We help manufacturers take on bigger challenges – whether that’s building cleaner aircraft, scaling up offshore wind, or strengthening the UK’s supply chains. We deliver practical outcomes, not prototypes that sit on shelves.
We work across 16 sectors, from defence and energy to infrastructure and space. Projects vary from partnerships with global tier‑1s to small UK firms solving specific problems.
We’re not a start‑up, not a corporate – we’re a national centre with the kit, time and people to do the job properly.
Why this job matters
This role isn’t just internal support – it’s part of how we deliver nationally important work. If we do our job right, the UK’s manufacturers can do theirs better.
