Our unique web platforms attract a large, global audience, with information about the latest technological developments and industry activities updated daily.

About the Job

Working with our content team, your primary responsibility will be to research and create news articles within the field of defence, aerospace and engineering.

You'll also be responsible for writing and scheduling social media posts to drive engagement with the on-site content you produce.

Day-to-day you'll be working with WordPress to publish content, so it'd be a real advantage if you're already familiar with the platform.
