We are proud to support our Armed Forces in any way we can. We know from experience that the men and women who serve our country in the British Armed Forces have the skills, training and strategic expertise to benefit our workplace. As part of our commitment to the Armed Forces, we offer an additional four weeks of paid leave to reservists and cadet volunteers through our Reservist Policy.

Where work life is more than your average 9-to-5

Every person works differently —and General Dynamics recognises that.

With compressed schedules, as well as hybrid work options for many roles, flexibility is key—enabling us to do our best work while also having time for life outside the office.
