Working in Bristol
Employment Landscape
In Bristol, job seekers are navigating a market shaped by both growth and caution. The tech sector is expanding, with nearly 2,000 IT openings and strong salaries around £51,700, positioning tech as the fastest-growing area in the city. Aerospace and defence remain anchors, with Airbus, GKN Aerospace, BAE Systems and Rolls‑Royce supporting thousands of jobs, especially tied to advanced propulsion and lightweight design developments. The nuclear industry also offers specialist opportunities—around 3,500 jobs are linked to ongoing projects like Hinkley Point C and proposed Small Modular Reactors. Meanwhile, research and innovation matter: the University of Bristol contributes over £1.1 billion locally and supports more than 16,000 jobs, with new campuses and spin‑outs expected to boost this further. However, broader UK headwinds are visible: private‑sector hiring has slowed, entry‑level roles have contracted significantly, and national unemployment may rise further in 2026 due to rising costs and weakening consumer demand. Job seekers may find opportunity in high‑skill and specialist niches, but competition is more intense and caution is spreading across general hiring.

Typical Roles
Hiring Patterns
Tech and aerospace niches are growing with specialized demand, and the nuclear and research sectors offer structured, high‑skill openings. Conversely, entry‑level and more general roles remain constrained, with private sector hiring weak and graduate placements dropping sharply nationwide.
"You will find roles if you aim at Bristol’s specialist sectors—general openings are fewer, and the game is more about skill fit and network than volume of listings."
