When you join Drumgrange, you will be joining one of the last independent, family-run engineering companies in the UK defence industry. You'll be more than just a number. 

We are a forces-friendly workplace; a proud recipient of the Gold Award from the Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme. We actively recruit service leavers through Career Transition Partnership, the official resettlement scheme for the Armed Foces. 

You can expect to hit the ground running from day one, with lots of room for individual recognition. Having been a military end-user—perhaps even operating our equipment—the skillset you gained and the unique perspective you bring to the table are invaluable. You will be actively involved across our projects, with plenty of opportunity to make a difference in the way things go in the company.

We offer a placement programme for those who are still in active service but looking to transition into civilian life. 

Spanning the course of 1-2 weeks, this programme involves shadowing a Drumgrange employee who has made a similar transition in the past.

You would be able to meet our staff and see the work that we do, so not only will you have the opportunity to learn how they integrated into civilian life, but you can also assess whether a role at Drumgrange would be right for you.

We are proud to support members of, or those wishing to join the Reserve Forces.

As a company that employs staff who are members of the Reserve forces, we recognise the valuable contribution that Reservists make to the UK Armed Forces, their communities, and our civilian workplace.

As a Reservist, you will receive two weeks of additional paid leave on top of your regular leave allowance for you to attend your annual training. Additional leave will also be granted for short periods of training.

Unless there are exceptional circumstances, all employees mobilised for Reservist duties will be released to report for duty with no loss of continuous service or service-related benefits. Upon your return, you would be reinstated to your former role where possible, or alternatively, to a mutually acceptable role of equal status and salary.
