Positions in Hanslope Park, Milton Keynes
We’re HMGCC, the engineering specialists at the heart of the UK’s national security.
We work with the national security community, UK government, academia, private sector partners and international allies to bring engineering ingenuity to the national security mission, creating tools and technologies that drive us ahead and help to protect the nation.
About our apprenticeships:
Imagine working with cutting-edge technology, finding solutions to unpredictable problems, and helping to support the national security mission. Now imagine earning a salary and a qualification while you do it, alongside friendly experts and a cohort who share your passion. That’s the reality of an apprenticeship with HMGCC.
Whether it’s electronics, IT, software or manufacturing, our apprenticeships offer an exciting mix of theoretical learning and on-the-job experience. You’ll divide your time between a training provider and our state-of-the-art facility, and gain the knowledge, skills and exposure you’ll need for a rewarding career in your chosen field.
We know it’s a big decision, which is why we provide a wealth of support right from day one. We’ll cover your tuition and training costs and even offer a relocation loan to those who need it. This way, you can focus on your apprenticeship without worrying about the finances. Plus, you’ll enjoy a variety of great benefits, including 25 days’ holiday, access to an on-site counsellor, and use of our facilities which include a free gym, café and restaurant.
And the best bit? On completion of your apprenticeship, you can unlock your career path within our organisation. You can choose to stay with us, putting everything you’ve learned to work in a role with national impact. With our encouragement and your enthusiasm, imagine what else you’ll discover.
Some of the qualities we look for include:
- Creativity and curiosity in the way you approach tasks
- Motivation to share ideas and work as part of a team
