  • Help establish and maintain TGSN compliance with relevant defence standards, supported by TGSN colleagues as required.
  • Ensure ongoing professional development to stay current on the latest developments in defence technology, security protocols, and geopolitical factors that could impact TGSN’s operations and opportunities within the UK defence market.
