Job summary:

His Majesty's Naval Base Portsmouth (HMNBP) has been an integral part of the city since 1194.

It is home to almost two-thirds of the Royal Navy's surface ships, including the new aircraft carriers HMS Queen Elizabeth; HMS Prince of Wales; the formidable Type 45 destroyers; Type 23 frigates; and mine countermeasures and fishery protection squadrons.

The base is a major employer and provides lodging facilities to RN personnel serving at the base and in Portsmouth-based ships.

HMNBP is one of three naval bases providing enabling support as part of the nation's defence strategy.

In doing so, HMNBP seeks to improve through science and technology to strengthen its security and defence at home and overseas.

This requires continuous improvements in building capacity, capability and resilience through its people. It is the home base for assigned ships and ship's companies preparing for operations.

A key component of achieving this support is the ability to deliver the full range of increasingly sophisticated engineering support services.

The unique employment opportunities offered are varied, challenging and exciting and support Navy Command's role to generate and operate forces for today and to ensure we are ready for tomorrow by developing and delivering the Navy of the future.

Navy Command provides an open, flexible and supportive work environment and Civil Servants, Contractors and Armed Forces personnel work together in a wealth of interesting and challenging jobs in different disciplines.

This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.
