BAE Systems in recruitment drive

BAE Systems is on the look out for more talented design engineers after being awarded £315million from the UK Ministry of Defence to replace the Royal Navy's Vanguard class submarines.

The defence giant, which won an initial £328million design phase contract last May, already has more than 1,000 employees working on the project. BAE's managing director of submarine solutions, John Hudson said: "The design of a nuclear-powered submarine is one of the most complex and technically demanding engineering programmes undertaken by the maritime industry. We continue to recruit more professional design engineers."
