As a Safety Engineering graduate in QinetiQ you will have the opportunity to join our highly skilled team of Safety Engineers. You will be able to contribute in supporting the work we do to ensure that any platform, equipment, or product is safe to operate and that the user knows how to operate it safely. This is concerned with in depth analysis of how the product is designed to operate, looking at what the potential hazards are, analysing risks and defining mitigations to reduce the risk of harm and damage.

The primary output for this role will be system safety expertise and knowledge to deliver reports and advice in support of projects to our clients. Customer reports will cover a range of support, from advice on the procurement of new equipment, assessment of In-service equipment or upgrades to equipment on QinetiQ managed ranges. Applicants will have the ability to influence customers and improve safety outcomes.

Our people make the critical difference to customers by providing unique approaches to problem solving.
