At Frazer-Nash we help organisations deliver innovative engineering and technical solutions to make lives safe, secure, sustainable, and affordable. Our people are integral to delivering these outcomes. 

With this in mind, we are currently seeking experienced Aerospace Assurance and Certification Consultants to undertake challenging and interesting work that improves safety and sustainability worldwide. 

Working within a consultancy environment offers the chance to experience a wide variety of projects and you'll be expected to bid for, win, work on, and manage projects, as well as work with and manage people and clients.

As part of Frazer-Nash you may also have opportunities to work outside aerospace or gain civil experience to widen your skillset further. 

Although primarily focused on safety and assurance, we also have projects running that cover legislative and regulatory compliance, aviation facility design, risk and quality management across Defence (Air, Sea and Land) and transport and infrastructure, with aspirations to extend into the space domain.
