What we do matters. Because defence matters.

MBDA is a leading defence manufacturer in Europe, with close to 7,000 UK employees working together to deliver products that protect our nations, people and our armed forces; as well as those of our allies.

We continually strive to be an inclusive employer of choice and, as a business, we support numerous initiatives trying to grow diversity in STEM professions; including within MBDA itself. We are proud of the work we do and the progress we have made, but we also recognise there is a lot more to be done.

Our Dynamic Working policies, enhanced parental leave, and other workplace benefits mean our people are trusted to work in ways that suit both their own needs and those of the organisation. We provide annual salary reviews and a company incentive scheme (bonus) to ensure our people are fairly compensated for their efforts.

MBDA is the highest ranked Defence & Aerospace employer on Glassdoor, and we have continually featured in The Sunday Times’ Best Places to Work and GREAT British Employers of Veterans lists. We also hold Gold or Platinum status in each category assessed by Investors in People; People, Apprentices and Wellbeing. We are proud to continue to be an employer of choice and we develop our business to match the needs of our people.
