The Defence Engineering and Science Group
(DESG) is the team of thousands of engineers
and scientists working within the Ministry of
Defence.
The UK needs modern battle winning forces
to defend its interests and to contribute
to strengthening international peace and
security. Cutting edge engineering and
science is a critical component in supporting
this effort.
We are proud to offer graduates the opportunity
to join what is probably the very best graduate
development scheme for engineers and
scientists in the UK: The Ministry of Defence,
Defence Engineering and Science Graduate
Scheme which, over and above your salary,
will invest substantially in your individual
training and development.
Our prestigious graduate scheme is accredited
by: IET, IMechE, RINA, IoP, RAeS, IMarEST
and ICE and has been an industry leader for
almost thirty years, launching many hundreds
of graduates into satisfying careers in
engineering and science.
Due to our requirement to safeguard the
UK, the range and depth of the development
opportunities that we offer are huge - making
us a market leader. Moreover, we believe
that the quality of our training programme,
our accelerated path to chartership, personal
mentoring and huge investment in each
graduate sets us apart from competitors in the
engineering and science field.
The DESG graduate scheme is a carefully
structured but flexible training program;
enabling each graduate to get the most from
a series of work placements (this includes
placements with private industry). Through
this unique scheme each graduate is able
to further their professional development
- making it possible to gain tremendous
engineering or science experience and to
achieve chartered status within just four
years.
