A global missile manufacturer is planning to hire hundreds of people across its 海角视频 operations in the coming year.
MBDA, which has 海角视频 bases in Bristol, Bolton and Stevenage, is a joint venture between Airbus (37.5%), BAE Systems (37.5%) and Leonardo (25%). It has more than 12.000 employees working across France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the US and 海角视频.
The business designs and manufactures products used by Britain's Armed Forces. Last year, it won a 拢550m Ministry of Defence (MoD) contract to develop an air-to-ground strike weapon for the 海角视频 F-35 combat aircraft.
According to MBDA, many of the jobs on offer will be engineering roles including mechanical, electrical, systems, design, and software engineering positions. The firm said the majority of its software developers will be working on site in Bristol.
But there will also be roles in customer support and services, procurement, commercial, sales and business development, manufacturing and production, governance and audit, quality and assurance, information management/technology and project/programme management.
Debbie Cole, Head of Resourcing 海角视频 at MBDA, said it was "strongly encouraging" applications from people from diverse backgrounds.
"2022 is already proving to be a huge year for us at MBDA and we need people with a passion for innovation to help us achieve ambitious targets," she said.
"We鈥檙e growing our delivery capabilities to ensure we meet growing demand for our existing products, in addition to the new technologies that have yet to be released.鈥
In February, MBDA was ranked top of the 海角视频鈥檚 Best Big Companies to Work For league table (formerly the Sunday Times鈥 Best Companies to Work For). This follows MBDA being the only defence company to make the Top 50 Best Places to Work 2022 in January (Glassdoor Employees鈥 Choice Awards).
In December, the company also received Gold awards on all three accreditation standards from the Investors in People organisation. The accreditations for 鈥榃e invest in apprentices鈥 and 鈥榃e invest in wellbeing鈥 were firsts for the firm, it said.
