What are the Best and Worst things about your job?

Best

Trusted to "get on with it", both technically (how are you going to solve the problem?) and also from a time management perspective (if you're estimating that in 4 weeks you're going to be light on work, what are you going to do about it?).

Worst

Sometimes you need to keep yourself busy by doing "less-interesting" projects. It's good to use those as an opportunity to broaden your experience, but is definitely not as enjoyable as UAS research and development projects.

What is the annual salary for this role?

Starting salary: £27,000 - £29,000

Current salary: £39,000 - £41,000

What hours do you actually work, on average?

Start: 08:00

Finish: 16:30

What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Apply for the "right" role - with a background in drones, my application to the "Unmanned Air Systems" (now "Uncrewed") was successful. I don't think I'd have been successful applying to the Human Factors team, so choose what interests you and matches your background.

Do you have any interview tips?

Put the effort in to research what the team you're applying for does (as a consultancy, Frazer-Nash publicises some of the work we do, so it's not too hard to find examples of the projects we conduct), and think how you might solve the same/similar problem.
