Ideally based in Luton

This successful, long-standing and hugely innovative organisation is one of the major players in their field.

In order to further strengthen their team, they have a requirement for a talented Technical Engineer to cover Peterborough, Oxford Cambridge, Luton, Leicester and Norwich. The ideal base would be Luton but there is flexibility.

Working closely with Account Managers and Regional Account Managers, you will be responsible for the promotion of a range of high-quality cutting products and solutions to several sectors including Aerospace and Sub-contract Engineering. Reporting to the Technical Engineering Director, this exciting role will see you managing a portfolio of specific accounts working collaboratively to grow the existing business.

Veterans in Space: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into UK Space‑Industry Careers

Introduction Space is no longer the exclusive domain of superpowers—it’s a booming commercial arena. The 2024 UK Space Sector Report values the domestic industry at £17.5 billion, with the Government’s National Space Strategy committing £1.4 billion to launch sites, secure communications, and next‑generation navigation constellations. Defence intersects heavily: Skynet 6, Titania (space‑based quantum comms), and the UK Space Command’s responsive‑launch mandate all need skilled professionals. Military veterans bring mission focus, security clearance, and technical prowess—qualities the space sector craves. If you’ve maintained satellite uplinks on operations, guided aircraft via GPS under EW threat, or monitored ballistic trajectories, you already think in orbital mechanics and space situational awareness. This guide shows you how to leverage MoD transition programmes, translate military experience, and secure rewarding roles—from launch‑pad technician to satellite analyst—in Britain’s burgeoning space economy.

Rural-Remote Space Jobs: Reaching for the Stars Beyond City Limits

A Fresh Horizon for UK Space Professionals When most people think of space industry jobs, their minds drift to launch pads in Florida, sophisticated mission controls at NASA, or even satellite facilities in the heart of London. However, the space sector is increasingly decentralised and offers abundant opportunities across the UK—well beyond the capital. At UKSpaceJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a surge in vacancies that allow for rural or coastal living, prompting jobseekers to search for “space jobs in the countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” A variety of factors—rising remote work, cloud-based engineering tools, and demand for diverse local test sites—are fuelling this movement. Britain’s beautiful rural and seaside regions no longer represent peripheral backwaters for the space sector. Instead, they host emerging launch sites, small satellite enterprises, research hubs, and remote teams that keep pace with the nation’s growing ambitions in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), deep-space missions, and Earth observation technologies. If you’re a satellite engineer, an astro-data analyst, or a space project manager craving fresh air and lower living costs, this article is for you. Below, we’ll explore how rural-remote space roles are exploding in popularity, the specific benefits (and potential hurdles) of working outside major cities, and the practical steps you can take to launch your space career amidst rolling hills or ocean vistas.
