Publish date: 01/02/2023
Join Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) for a virtual employment event on Thursday 9th February 2023, from 10:00am to 12:30pm. During the event, you’ll learn about our organisation and the diverse and complex projects we deliver to equip, support and protect the UK Armed Forces.
As the specialist procurement arm of the Ministry of Defence, we ensure the UK military have the tools needed to maintain their competitive advantage in all circumstances, both now and in the future. That’s why we recruit across a wide range of specialisms, from engineering and project management, to integrated logistics support, IT and more.
With your military background, you’ll possess a wealth of skills and experience that will enable you to deliver the best possible service to military colleagues still serving in the Armed Forces.
So why not explore a civilian career at DE&S?
