Defence Engineer – Job Description

Defence engineers do not have to join the armed forces, although working for a defence contractor is likely to mean signing a number of confidentiality clauses as you’ll be working on the design and construction of classified military equipment and vehicles.

Modern military equipment is as much about software as hardware, so defence engineers often work on software development and systems engineering as well as in the more traditional engineering realms of production, research and development, electronic and mechanical hardware and the ergonomics behind a particular piece of military kit.

Civil Servant – Job Description

Posted by Simon Thompson on

Civil servants work for the Home Civil Service – an organisation that is politically neutral and exists to support and advise whichever government is in power at the time while working to create and deliver public services and policies.

The Civil Service is a huge organisation – 170+ departments covering areas as diverse as finance and the law – so there are many jobs to choose from.
