Job summary:


MCTA is a fast-paced team of Military and Civil Servants led by a Royal Navy Captain, who face a constantly evolving vista of work carrying out assessment and assurance of equipment on aircraft carriers, warships, and smaller military vessels.


This role would suit applicants of an engineering / technical background with an interest in maintaining standards in SONAR systems and associated equipment, with opportunities to broaden into other equipment's and systems assessed by MCTA.

For external applicants the post is available as a permanent Navy Command Headquarters (NCHQ) civilian position.

The position is advertised at 37 hours per week.

Job description:


This role delivers the duties of an MCTA Trials Officer for all relevant system related activities, including the maintenance of professional standards through training and development to deliver trials assessments as required by NCHQ, DE&S and Naval Authority.

This needs to be supported by the ability to work independently, and good leadership and communication skills that have been proven in a team working environment.

This is a challenging but rewarding role that also provides the opportunity for personal development and the ability to improve and progress your career.


Whilst based in Victory Building in Portsmouth, the role is required to visit other locations around the UK and on occasions abroad to conduct assurance visits and progress meetings.

Weekend working and nights away at sea and in other locations may be required.

The main tasks of the Trials Officers are:

To be capable of:
- conducting inspections as a professional engineer with an extensive knowledge of the operation and performance of the systems relevant to the role.
- compiling trials related defect lists, discussing with the shipbuilder/refitting authority/ ship to establish content, priority, and liability.
- attending post trials meetings to assist in the agreement of responsibilities for defect rectification and outstanding trials, and to acquaint those authorities concerned with the assessment, conclusion, and subsequent actions necessary to complete those inspections and trials.
- leading and assisting in the compilation of Trials Reports on completion of trials, including proofing of section trial reports before sending for staffing.
- providing advice on trial contents and conducts to relevant authorities and ship staffs.
- conducting trials beyond the role's primary area in support of the wider Weapons Systems group (WS Group) on, once qualified, other systems covered by the Sensors Systems team including new systems being introduced into service, or (again once qualified) on other systems covered by WS Group.
- interacting with a wide range of authorities and personnel to resolve problems and ensure that current MOD policies are followed in the conduct of day-to-day business.


The post holder is expected to have an informed opinion on matters that affect MCTA and the Directorate as a whole and contribute to initiatives to improve the conduct and cost of business activities.


Person specification:

You will need to hold a minimum of HNC/HND or equivalent in electrical or electronic engineering.

You will need to hold a Full UK Manual Driving licence and be willing to drive MOD provided vehicles.


The successful applicants will ideally have, or be willing to work towards, developing their knowledge on all equipment associated with SONAR.


Behaviours:

We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:

  • Communicating and Influencing
  • Making Effective Decisions
  • Changing and Improving
  • Leadership
  • Managing a Quality Service
  • Communicating and Influencing
  • Making Effective Decisions

Benefits:

  • Learning and development tailored to your role
  • An environment with flexible working options
  • A culture encouraging inclusion and diversity
  • A Civil Service pension with an average employer contribution of 27%


As a civil servant in Navy Command, you will be part of a forward-looking organisation with inclusive workplace policies, excellent career prospects, and a job that makes a difference.


Navy Command prides itself on being a supportive employer and where possible encourages flexible working, helping you to maintain a great work/life balance.
