WHY JOIN ALLEN-VANGUARD?

At Allen-Vanguard, our work directly supports the safety of front-line personnel around the world. The systems we design and deliver are used in real operational environments across the defence and security sector to counter evolving threats – it’s work with genuine purpose and responsibility.

But what really defines us is how we work.

We are a small, experienced, and collaborative team. People work closely together, across disciplines, and see the impact of what they deliver. This is not a large, layered organization – you won’t be working in a narrow silo or far removed from the outcome.

Our engineers and specialists are involved across the full lifecycle, working across software, systems, hardware, and RF to solve practical, real-world problems. The work is hands-on, varied and grounded in delivery.

If you’re looking for a role where your contribution is visible, your work has purpose, and you can continue to develop in a collaborative, delivery-focused environment, Allen-Vanguard offers something a little different.

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK HERE

We place a strong emphasis on collaboration, ownership, and accountability.

People are trusted to take responsibility for their work, contribute ideas, and stay close to the technical detail. We work across teams and disciplines, support each other, and focus on delivering outcomes, supported by clear and effective processes.

Because of our size and structure, individuals have real visibility – both in terms of the work they do and the impact it has. You’ll have the opportunity to broaden your experience, work across different areas of the business, and build a well-rounded understanding of how things come together.

You’ll have the opportunity to contribute ideas, challenge thinking, and help shape how we work as we continue to evolve.

WORKING WITH US

We offer a competitive and globally aligned reward package, alongside an environment that supports both performance and balance:

Flexible benefits designed to support your health, wellbeing, and financial security (including access to an Employee Assistance Programme)
Retirement savings plans with employer contributions
A globally consistent approach to pay, with an emphasis on internal equity
Recognition for individual and team performance
Hybrid working options where the role allows

We aim to provide an environment where people can do their best work, feel supported, and maintain a healthy balance between their professional and personal commitments.

Development is supported through hands-on project work, alongside more formal opportunities where appropriate.

INCLUSION

We are committed to creating a respectful and inclusive working environment where people feel supported and able to contribute.

We welcome applications from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, including those who may not meet every listed requirement but bring relevant and transferable skills. We actively encourage applications from underrepresented groups within the sector and from service veterans.
