Frazer-Nash are a leading engineering, systems and technology consultancy. Through our meaningful innovations, our experts help organisations make lives securer, safer, sustainable and affordable.

In a nutshell, engineering consultancy is all about providing advice to positively impact our clients’ projects and businesses and the wider world around us.

The world and our clients have lots of problems and we get a kick out of finding engineering and technology solutions to these problems. As a graduate, you will be working on multiple projects simultaneously, managing your time and accruing a wealth of experience and skills. No two days in Frazer-Nash will be the same.

Our people are at the very heart of what we do, they are the reason our clients work with us to solve some of their biggest challenges. At Frazer-Nash, we want all our people to feel they belong, confident in the knowledge that we value and respect the commitment they have made by entrusting their careers and expertise to us.

There are roles within our Safety and Assurance focused teams at Frazer-Nash which consist of:

• Naval Safety and Assurance (Bristol/Plymouth/Portsmouth)

• Naval Nuclear Assurance (Plymouth)

Each of these teams brings together a wide range of civil and military engineering experience and you will be an integral part of the team you join. If you have a strong interest in joining a particular team described above, please let us know within your covering letter and application.

Regardless of which team you join, you’ll be able to develop your technical knowledge throughout the Concept, Assessment, Demonstration, Manufacture, In-service and Disposal (CADMID) phases of major defence projects; be they in the Land, Sea, Air or even Space domain. You may be finding the missing piece of the design puzzle, helping manage safety and assurance during build and delivery, solving real-time in-service issues, or helping our clients overcome ever more complex material degradation and ageing issues as military capabilities near the end of their design life.

We help our clients understand and overcome safety and regulatory challenges associated with deploying cutting-edge technologies, such has those involving autonomy, or the use of novel sustainable fuels to help the drive towards net-zero.

• Providing an Independent Technical Evaluation service to major widebody aircraft programmes.

As part of the wider business area, you will work with experts from across the company and get a taste of what goes on in different areas of the business. Our graduates will gain exposure and experience in the huge variety of our work, and the chance to explore where their own skills and interests lie, whether that be a leadership or technical path.
