Since the end of traditional manufacturing of the Hawk jet in December 2020, work has been underway to evolve the site, and now it is geared up to provide next-generation capability for both the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy.

James Hardstaff, Brough site general manager, said: “I am proud to see the work at Brough continue to make an important contribution to the nation’s defence and security requirements.

The roles will be across design, mission systems, integration and software disciplines.

“It’s an exciting time to join the business, as we take on some really complex and ambitious engineering challenges to support the delivery of the Royal Air Force’s Tempest programme and the Royal Navy’s Dreadnought submarine.

“The site currently employs around 700 people in a wide-range of roles and offers an excellent range of apprenticeship, undergraduate and graduate opportunities.”
