About these results

What is on this page

Defence Careers is tracking 467 open roles in the United Kingdom, read directly from employers' own careers pages rather than reposted from another board. Of those, 87 are pitched at lead level, 12 can be done remotely and 328 sit in engineering.

The employers hiring are Leonardo, Palantir, Helsing and Airbus Defence and Space, plus 4 others. Every listing links straight to their own application page — this board never sits in between.

How many roles are there in the United Kingdom?

467 right now on Defence Careers. The number moves most days: roles are added as employers post them and removed the day they come down.

Which companies are hiring in the United Kingdom?

Leonardo, Palantir, Helsing, Airbus Defence and Space and Anduril Industries, plus 3 more. Each has a profile here listing everything they currently have open.

Are any of these remote?

12 of the 467 say so explicitly. Where a listing is silent we leave it unmarked rather than guessing, so the real figure is likely a little higher.
