Project Selborne vacancies

Find where you belong

We have a wide variety of roles, at all levels, across the programme - training delivery, planning and support; education and learning and many of our support functions too.

Whether you're starting your career, looking for a new role or a complete career change, you can explore all our roles and see where you might fit in at one of our UK locations.

Note: You’ll need security clearance for all roles, but in many cases this can happen after you’ve started your new job. Security Clearance (SC) vetting will happen after Baseline Personnel Security Standard clearance (BPSS) is awarded (you can find out more about this at the bottom of this page)*. If you already have SC, this may be carried over from your current role, depending on whether it’s transferrable.

We’re also recruiting for many other exciting roles in the near future, including:

  • engineers and trainers with an engineering background
  • manager, team leader and admin roles
  • support roles (planners, business support, quality assurance and more)
  • instructors
  • role players
  • facilities management roles


If you’re interested in any of these, please register here and we'll contact you once we start recruiting for that role:
