      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of development opportunities with great people and culture. Good reward and recognition schemes available at all levels through the business. Opportunities to work with multiple functions including, Operations, Engineering, Procurements, Commercial and Project management on cutting edge equipment within the UK and Worldwide. There is currently lots of investment in the site to modernise facilities which is set to continue for years into the future.

      Cons

      Large changes to things such as IT systems are slow to be incorporate due to the nature of the business.

      Exciting time to join Rochester

      Head of quality
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I've just celebrated 40 years service at Rochester and there has never been a more exciting time to join our team. We are investing £200M+ in a new facility and demand for our products is high giving us confidence in the longer term future of this facility. We have opportunities across all functions and at all levels from trainees to experienced professionals. We are proud of roles in our missions of "we protect those who protect us" and "we innovate for those who move the world". If you join our team you will get to work on a diverse range of high technology products ranging includes advanced displays and controls. We operate across military and civil and across Land, Air and Sea and you will get the opportunity to collaborate across our other businesses. Our quality teams are supportive with a transparent focus on career progression and development. We are really proud of our quality culture at Rochester and proud to say that we are a finalist in the 2025 CQI Quality Organisation of the year award. Kent is a great place to live and work, we are less than an hour from London or the beaches and the weather is usually better than the UK average. There are many employee benefits working at BAE Systems and our people policies are very supportive of work life balance needs of our employees. Now is a great time to join our quality focussed teams and I hope some of you will join and go on to have as an exciting and fulfilling career as I have. The best part of Rochester ? The people. Come and be part of our team and help us deliver our missions.

      Cons

      To support collaboration and knowledge transfer we expect people to be on site at least 4 days a week. We are proud of our culture and we want you to feel part of our team at Rochester, we believe you can only do this by being with us on site. If you are looking for a hybrid or work from home role then this isn't likely to be the place for you. We are are part of a big organisation and bureaucracy can stifle things, but maybe you help us improve our efficiency and processes.
