**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 the performance of weapon control systems and associated equipment and maintenance of standards, with opportunities to broaden into other RN weapons and systems. 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.

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**:

- conduct inspections as a professional engineer with an extensive knowledge of the operation and performance of the systems relevant to the role.
- compile trials related defect lists, discussing with the shipbuilder/refitting authority/ ship to establish content, priority and liability.
- attend 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.
- lead and assist in the compilation of Trials Reports, including proofing of section trial reports before sending for staffing.
- provide advice on trial contents and conducts to relevant authorities and ship staffs.
- conduct analysis of system performance.
- conduct trials beyond the role’s primary area in support of the wider Weapons Systems group on, once qualified, other RN systems and equipment.
- interact 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 in electronic engineering, or equivalent.

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