Facilities Design and Engineering is an exciting and fast-growing team in Defence. What sets us apart is the scale and complexity of the projects we work on for the MoD and their suppliers. Our 70 strong team work on over 100 defence related projects worth GBP 30m a year.

For example, the large facilities we`re designing for AWE at a total spend of GBP 1bn involve a multidisciplinary design team of 175 engineers. We also work on complex engineering equipment projects, like the rigs we`re currently designing for Rolls Royce which will be used to test the propulsion components for the next generation of nuclear submarines.
So, although we`re a relatively small group, Facilities Design and Engineering accounts for around half of the total turnover in the Defence business and our work with both new and existing clients is set to increase.
