The clients staff undertake a key role in assuring the safety of the UK's submarine force and the force's personnel. In particular, staff have produced, and now maintain, the In Service Submarine (ISM) team's platform safety cases, the associated Safety Policy and Safety Management documentation, prepare submissions to regulatory bodies and attend and provide the Secretariat for the majority of the ISM team's safety-related meetings. The staff have also prepared Safety Cases for the NATO Submarine Rescue System and the Australian Submarine Escape and Rescue System.

Following the award of a new ISM team support contract, the client is seeking to fill a number of safety assurance and risk management posts. In particular, we need people who can apply their intellect, knowledge and experience to making one of the world's most complex pieces of engineering safer for the crew, third parties and the environment and to protect the UK's investment in defence assets.
