Are you an experienced Systems Engineer with a passion for delivering secure, technically robust solutions for government and defence environments? This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in designing, configuring and delivering mission-critical systems that support national security and operational capability. You'll join a proactive engineering team working on complex, high-impact projects across the UK.
What you'll be doing
You'll be responsible for delivering end-to-end technical support across government and defence projects, including:
* Designing and configuring systems for MoD/Government programmes.
* Liaising with project teams to support timely and accurate delivery of assigned work.
* Testing and evaluating new equipment to ensure compliance with technical specifications.
* Ensuring all technical documentation and drawings are produced to a high standard.
* Verifying equipment and software against project requirements and performance criteria.
* Visiting customer sites when required to support project roll-outs and technical activity.
* Defining IP structures and providing technical guidance for system implementations.
* Supporting customer meetings, future system enhancements, and solution planning.
* Participating in the MoD/Government duty engineering rota, offering technical support when needed.
What we're looking for
To thrive in this role, you'll bring:
* Strong understanding of networks and system design within secure or regulated environments.
* The ability to take ownership of tasks, make sound decisions and follow through to completion.
* Experience interpreting and delivering technical requirements for complex engineering projects.
* Confidence in producing accurate documentation and working closely with cross-functional teams.
* Eligibility to obtain, or already hold, UK Security Clearance (SC or DV depending on project needs).
A relevant engineering degree or equivalent experience is preferred, but strong practical experience in MoD/Government or secure systems engineering is equally valued.
Why this role stands out
* You'll work on high-priority, technically complex government programmes that genuinely make a difference.
* Every day brings fresh challenges - from system design to field support and high-level technical problem solving.
* You'll join a forward-thinking engineering environment with opportunities for long-term growth.
* The work is diverse, meaningful and ideal for engineers who enjoy autonomy, responsibility and contributing to national capability.
What's on offer
* A competitive salary package (market range typically £45,000 to £50,000, depending on experience).
