Will your location be impacted by brexit?

I don't think UK membership in ESA may be impacted with brexit. Norway and Switzerland are members of ESA but not EU.

This is right. As long as the UK continues to contribute to ESA funds, we should get commensurate work in return ("geo-return").

However, our involvement in projects coming from the European Commission (EC), which is EU-related, such as the Copernicus programme ("Sentinel" satellites) could be negatively impacted.

I will reconsider the UK as a place to live and work if / when it goes through as I have both British and European nationality.

I believe that it is already having a negative impact on the industry as there has been a definite slow down in projects going to UK industry after the vote.

That's a shame.

I live in the Netherlands and sometimes check the careers at Noordwijk. It would be quite a nasty commute for me too.

Do you know if the ESA uses many independent contractors?

I’m based in the U.K. and curious about what company that does what you do. Am I allowed to ask what the company you work for is?
