WE’RE BUILDING THE NEXT UK-HEADQUARTERED ENGINEERING POWERHOUSE.

At Rowden, we design and integrate advanced systems that sense, connect, and protect data in challenging environments where quick decisions are vital. Our solutions use intelligent automation to enhance speed and efficiency and are built to be reliable and straightforward for critical operations in remote or high-pressure settings.
Headquartered in Bristol (UK), we combine modern engineering methods with cutting-edge commercial technology to create adaptable, mission-critical systems. We focus on solving the tough challenges that others overlook, ensuring our customers can operate effectively in an ever-changing world.
We’re looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Junior Solicitor to join our team, supporting our General Counsel in a broad range of legal tasks. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build an in-house legal career within a growing engineering company, where your work will contribute to enabling faster, more secure decision-making for defence and national security operations. While this role offers hybrid working options, it requires a minimum of 3 days per week on-site at our Bristol HQ.
