Why work for us
Our benefits
Dynamic Working
We’ll support you to deliver your best through the way you work, this includes getting the right balance of office and remote working, to ensure we’re most effective and impactful.
We want you to feel empowered and trusted to manage your working location, whilst also balancing the needs of your colleagues, projects and our customers and our dynamic working policy aims to offer greater flexibility. As a minimum we expect our people to work in the office 2 days per week, however there will be times where you are needed in the office more regularly. We also understand that some employees much prefer to work from the office only and support them to do this.
Some roles are not suitable for remote working and are therefore office based due to their nature. When applying, please check the job advert for details, then make sure to discuss what to expect with your recruiter.
9-Day Fortnight
For full-time employees, we operate a 9-Day Fortnight as our default working pattern, with every other Friday off. You can use the extra day to do whatever you please, spend time with family and friends, manage life admin and appointments, or practise a hobby. When applying, please check the job advert for details, then make sure to discuss what to expect with your recruiter.
Annual Leave
All full-time employees are entitled to 196 hours’ annual leave (equivalent to 25 days), increasing to 210 hours after 2 years’ service (equivalent to 27 days), plus UK bank holidays. Don’t forget you’ll have every other Friday off too!
Employer matching pension up to 5%
For those who wish to opt in, we offer a salary sacrifice pension scheme. You will be entitled to join the employer matching company pension scheme and the company will contribute up to 5% of your salary.
Discretionary Bonus
We offer all eligible employees a discretionary annual bonus, based on individual and company performance. Exact amounts vary and this can be discussed with you during the recruitment process.
Life assurance
You will be entitled to life assurance of 3 x your annual salary up to the age of 75.
Company Share Option Plan
As a valued employee, you will be offered the opportunity to join the Company Share Option Plan (CSOP), following a qualifying period.
Employee recognition (STAR Awards)
Reaction Engines’ STAR awards are an opportunity for employees to nominate colleagues who have displayed outstanding work or behaviours and are deserving of recognition inside and outside of their own team or business area. There’s a discretionary monetary reward alongside the peer recognition too!
Subsidised childcare at Culham Nursery
We understand the cost of childcare can have an enormous impact on your financial wellbeing, which is why we’re delighted to offer a Childcare Benefit Scheme for any employee enrolling their child at Culham Nursery. Please discuss this with your recruiter for more information.

We are proud of the talent we have at Reaction Engines and to support your continuous development and recognise your professional experience and qualifications we will reimburse 1 professional membership fee per employee, per year.

Family friendly policies
As a family friendly employer, our maternity leave package offers up to 40 weeks enhanced pay and 2 weeks enhanced pay for paternity leave, both from day one of employment.
Long Service Awards
As a thank you to our long serving employees for all their hard work and continued commitment to the Company, we are delighted to offer Long Service Awards for every 5 years spent with Reaction Engines.

Please note that we have a PSL in place for recruitment agencies which we are not planning to review. If you are not currently on our preferred supplier list and our HR Team have not instructed you to work on a vacancy, please understand that any candidates you send to us will not be deemed to have been introduced to the company. This will then mean that your agency will not be able to claim that you were the original introducer should a candidate be later employed by us and therefore no fee will be payable at any time.
