Armed Forces at Amentum

Amentum is a premier global technical and engineering services partner supporting critical programmes of national importance across defence, security, intelligence, energy, and environment.

We employ over 55,000 people working across 28 countries and draw from over a century’s heritage of operational excellence, mission focus, and successful execution, underpinned by a strong culture of safety and ethics 

Our experience, passion, and purpose drives mission success. We support our clients in the UK and internationally to safely manage and deliver critical nuclear services but don’t be put off by the term ‘nuclear’, we don’t require specialist qualifications or nuclear specific expertise – you can gain that whilst working on the job. 

We understand and value the military culture.  We have a long-standing relationship with the military in the United States and have just begun our journey in the UK. 

Globally, we have about 10,000 veterans among our ranks, employed on projects around the world, in a multitude of professions, disciplines and markets.

Armed Forces Covenant

In 2022 Amentum UK signed the Armed Forces Covenant, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to the covenant’s principles. In June 2023 Amentum was proud to announce that the organisation had achieved the Employer Recognition Scheme Bronze Certificate. 

Globally nearly a third of Amentum’s workforce is made up of Veterans who have served in the Armed Forces. We know that the teamwork, discipline and leadership skills developed through military service benefit both our company and our customers, which is why Amentum is rated as #1 Military Friendly Company in the US.

Neil Thumwood, Amentum’s Defence Programme Director:

“I’ve spent my career in the defence industry and it’s hugely important to me to see Amentum pledging its unwavering support to the defence and armed forces community.

As Amentum continues to grow and diversify it is significant that the active promotion of employing reservists, and armed forces veterans is viewed as an integral part of the future success of the business.

This is just the beginning, the team are working hard to ensure that Amentum is a market leader in the UK as it is in the US, providing world beating employment to our service personnel”.
