💡 Building life-long skills through hands-on learning. “I’ve grown so much in confidence since joining, not just in my skills, but in myself and that’s what makes the experience so rewarding.” Meet Lily, a manufacturing apprentice who’s helping to build aircrafts of the future while developing her skills on the job. From gaining hands-on experience in the workshop to working across different placements, Lily’s journey shows how learning by doing can build both technical expertise and personal confidence. She’s proof that building future skills isn’t just about engineering, it’s about stepping outside your comfort zone, embracing new challenges and growing along the way. 👉 Read Lily’s story: https://careers.baesystems.com/story/lily-manufacturing-apprentice-uk

We recently welcomed students from the University of Reading for an insight day with us at Virgin Media O2 in our Reading office. From learning more about our teams and early careers opportunities to hearing from our people about their own career journeys, it was a chance to give students a real insight into life and careers at Virgin Media O2. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to Jack and Zack for taking us along throughout the day! 👏

There’s no single route into a career in tech at BAE Systems. Our people come from a wide range of backgrounds - from computer science and engineering to service roles, leadership, sport and beyond. It’s these diverse experiences that help us build stronger, more innovative teams. In a recent conversation with Hackajob, Phil Kell spoke with three of our colleagues. They shared their perspectives on what it takes to create impactful technology together, including: 💡 Why “squiggly” career paths bring fresh thinking and strengthen our teams 🛠️ The importance of staying close to the craft, from hands-on engineering to solving real-world challenges 🤝 How inclusion, support for women in tech and embracing neurodiversity help us create an environment where everyone can thrive At BAE Systems, it’s your unique journey that makes a difference.

Mott MacDonald is supporting TerraPower on the Generic Design Assessment (#GDA) of its Natrium advanced reactor.   The 345MW sodium cooled design combines fast reactor technology with integrated molten salt energy storage to deliver safe, flexible and zero carbon power.  We’re helping navigate the UK regulatory landscape, supporting early engagement with the Office for Nuclear Regulation and the Environment Agency, and bringing UK-specific expertise across safety, environment, engineering and licensing.  Read more about the work behind this milestone: https://mottm.ac/4anOf0z

We’ve started work in Salford on a £200,000 project to help improve water quality in the River Irwell by separating rainwater from the combined sewer system on Blackburn Street. By diverting surface water away from the sewer network and into the existing surface water system, we’ll reduce pressure during heavy rainfall, helping to lower the need for storm overflows to operate and improve the resilience of the local network. More than one hectare of land will be “replumbed” as part of these upgrades, supporting better rainwater management and long-term environmental benefits for the area. This work is being delivered in collaboration with Muse Group as part of wider plans across the Adelphi Village zone of the Crescent Salford development, ensuring new and existing infrastructure is designed with sustainable drainage in mind. This scheme also forms part of our wider £280 million Rainwater Management Programme, helping to reduce flood risk, protect rivers and build a more resilient network across the North West.

Work has started at Langdale Wastewater Treatment Works on a scheme to improve water quality in Elterwater and the wider Windermere catchment. We are installing Mobile Organic Biofilm (MOB) technology at the site following a successful 12 month trial, which demonstrated significant improvements in treatment performance, including consistently low ammonia levels that already meet future environmental standards. MOB uses naturally occurring bacteria to break down wastewater more effectively, enabling the site to treat higher volumes and reduce the frequency of storm overflow operations. By working alongside existing infrastructure, it also helps minimise construction activity and disruption for local communities. A further upgrade is planned later this year to reduce phosphorus to the lowest technically achievable levels before water is returned to the environment. This forms part of a £200 million investment across the Windermere catchment over the next four years, as part of a wider programme investing more than £13 billion to improve rivers, lakes and bathing waters across the North West.

Liverpool's water infrastructure has shaped the city for generations. Today, we are setting out our vision for what comes next. Speaking at Flood and Coast in Liverpool, our CEO, Louise Beardmore, announced a £30 million investment by 2030 to help transform the way water is managed. At the heart of this vision is creating a spongier city, capturing and holding rainwater where it falls. By using these approaches, we can slow the flow during heavy rainfall, reduce flood risk, ease pressure on the network and help cut the use of storm overflows. To showcase some of the innovative projects already helping to reshape the city’s relationship with water, we have launched Let It Drain: A Scouse SuDS Stroll, a walking route through the city centre highlighting drainage features and how they support a more resilient system. Alongside this, the investment will support a range of projects designed to reduce spills, improve river water quality, explore water recycling opportunities, enhance habitats and provide the infrastructure needed to support future growth. This investment marks an important step in shaping a more resilient future for the city region.
