What our people say
I bring a lot of experience from working across the DNE; this breadth of experience is invaluable to my employer.
— Andrew - Radiation Protection Advisor - Rolls-Royce
Going to work in a completely different department within Government allowed me to experience a new way of working, at a place with a slicker organisational structure, it was an enriching opportunity.
— Bhajan - Project Management - DNO
I would consider going back into the technical space at some point in my career. I’m glad I moved into regulation when I did because I’ve opened up the opportunity to zig-zag earlier in my career. Nothing is off the cards.
— Nathan - Regulation - Defence Safety Authority
I wanted to continue my profession outside the Royal Navy and having worked alongside DSTL in NCHQ I could see the synergies between the two roles which made the transition to civilian life easier.
— Pat - Radiation Protection - DSTL
Moving from the Royal Navy into an industry partner, within the Nuclear Sector, has allowed me to continue using the skills I have built over the last 10yrs. I am continuing to add value and build my technical experience.
— Peter - Radiation Protection - Rolls-Royce
After 15 years in the military, I had many of the core skills needed to move into Project Delivery. My apprenticeship has given me the formal and on-the-job training.
