Be part of our innovation

From our coastlines to the Mariana Trench, the deepest point on Earth, and anywhere in-between, we make the impossible possible through our continuous passion for sustainable maritime innovation. That innovation comes from our greatest asset; our people.

Our people research, design, engineer, build, propose and support technologies that enable our customers to discover, navigate, measure, detect and communicate in the toughest environment on earth; under water.

One of the key components of our rewards system is a competitive salary.

We take immense pride in fostering a positive work environment that promotes employee satisfaction and personal growth. As part of our ongoing commitment to making Sonardyne a great place to work, we regularly conduct employee surveys to gather valuable feedback from our employees. These surveys serve as a vital channel for our team members to voice their opinions, concerns, and suggestions, enabling us to continually enhance our workplace culture.

By actively listening to our employees’ experiences and incorporating their input, we strive to maintain a supportive and inclusive environment that motivates and empowers our talented workforce. Through these regular surveys, we demonstrate our unwavering dedication to fostering a workplace that not only values the skills and contributions of our employees but also ensures their overall well-being and professional development. In 2022, our Employee Net Promotor Score stood at 40.

Making a difference

Here at Sonardyne, we are committed to ‘doing the right thing’ across our business and that includes making a difference to our community now and for future generations. Some of the ways we are doing this is through our goal of being carbon neutral by 2025, the creation of the Sonardyne Foundation and our work with The Shark Trust.

The Sonardyne Foundation allows us to offer financial and practical support to students who study, or are planning to study, an engineering degree.

Being involved in The Shark Trust means we can help drive change in fishing legislation and in the protection of the declining population of sharks and rays.

Students and Graduates

We are committed to supporting students, in particular those studying STEM degrees, so whether you’re a student looking to gain work experience or a graduate looking for your first job in industry, we are always keen to hear from you.

We understand the importance of taking the first step in your career and we can provide unique opportunities to develop alongside experts in their field and make real-life contributions to the team.

If you would like to be considered for an internship or graduate role with us, please submit a covering letter and your CV to [email protected] and we will be in touch.
