- Lead technical inspections to support national security.
- Become a Senior Technical Security Countermeasures Officer with us and you’ll lead teams to assess the vulnerability of sensitive assets that are critical to the UK’s security. Taking a holistic look at anything that could be compromised in a technical attack, you’ll be helping to develop strategies and technology that help us keep data - and people - safe.
- In addition to carrying out inspections on crucial technical equipment and compiling detailed reports about sensitive data, you’ll lead on a range of projects, from equipment development, testing and installation, to undertaking risk assessments and scoping forensic investigations. This is a customer-facing role, working closely with our government customers, including the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and our international partners, so you’ll need exceptional interpersonal skills and the ability to explain complex technical data in a clear way. You’ll also manage a team of officers. Leading by example, you’ll delegate tasks and support them to grow with your technical experience and specialist knowledge. This role is diverse and fulfilling, perfect for a motivated specialist looking to grow.
- Access all areas
- You’ll come equipped with a range of demonstrable skills in electronics, IT Networks, mechanics, construction, software development or programming and data analytics, alongside a UK driving license and experience managing small teams. You’ll also have a Level 3 qualification in a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics-related discipline, and either a BCS Level 3 Infrastructure Technician or BCS Level 4 Cyber Security Technologist qualification.
- Reliable, organised and proactive, you’ll be up to date on all relevant certification, using your skills to survey locations and lead on projects that serve national security. A role with UK NACE is as unique as you are and will give you the chance to use your skills to help support UK diplomacy and protect the UK against technical attack. You’ll also enjoy international travel and ongoing training, staying up to date with technical skills and knowledge to support your team and grow the department.
- A career that makes a difference
- When you join us, you’ll be helping to protect the nation’s interests at home and overseas. In return you’ll receive a competitive salary, 25 days’ annual leave and an excellent Civil Service pension. You’ll also have access to a range of training opportunities, including our research and development programme. We offer hybrid working too (dependent on business need), and while on-site you’ll have access to a gym, nursery and canteen. We even offer interest-free loans on season tickets and bikes, to help you get there. Above all else, you’ll feel pride in doing work that helps us protect people, information and assets here and overseas. It’s your job, bigger.
