Naval Graduate Engineers 2023

We like problems at Frazer Nash, and we work collaboratively, leveraging a diverse skillset to deliver a wide range of projects - no two days are the same! In Naval Assurance we tackle challenges with;

Submarines – How do we help keep submarines operating at sea safely? How do we help the Royal Navy bring new submarines into service?

Warships – How can we provide assurance that ships and their systems can continue to be safe and effective?

Commercial Shipping – How can we keep ships at sea, improve their availability and keep them safe?

Autonomy – How do we assure autonomous capabilities into front line service?

Nuclear – How do we provide support to defence and civil nuclear plant operations, design development and innovation?

The world and our clients have lots of problems and we get a kick out of finding engineering and technology solutions to these problems. Through our meaningful innovations, our teams help organisations make lives safer, securer, more sustainable and more affordable. Furthermore, we recognise the unprecedented challenges such as target Net-Zero in Carbon emissions, integrating autonomous systems, and utilising Machine Learning to aid systems in delivery of their functions. Subsequently we are growing, so that we can continue to help our clients in overcoming these challenges.

The projects you work on, and manage, will develop your technical knowledge and understanding across a broad range of disciplines. You will work with, and learn from, colleagues from a range of technical backgrounds including engineers, project managers, economists and world leading experts in their fields.

Frazer Nash values personal development and understands the importance of investing in its staff. In 2022 we have been awarded ‘Employer of the year’ at the 2022 Maritime UK awards.
