For 175 years, Smiths has pushed the boundaries of engineering capability, driven by our powerful culture founded on our values, innovation and excellence.
Engineering a better future
From our origins in precision timekeeping to the advanced components supporting the historic Artemis II moon mission, Smiths products have shaped the future of transport, energy, industrial processes and other human endeavour. Engineering a better future unites our people, shapes the way we think and act, and drives us to create lasting value and sustain growth in the future.
Our culture inspires and empowers our people to continually seek new ideas and execute them with passion and commitment.
Our values
Our values are the things that are most important to us as an organisation. They make us reliable, trustworthy and valued partners, and they make Smiths a great place to work. We live our values every day, in each action and decision that we take.
Talent
We are investing to build the skills and capabilities that will power future growth. We are backing our people and prioritising the skills and leadership qualities that matter most to future performance. We have created skills road maps aligned with our technical roadmaps to identify the skills we need to build on, and we have early careers and apprenticeship programmes that are helping us attract and develop the next generation of talent.
