CGI's Space, Defence and Intelligence business unit focuses primarily on the delivery of contemporary and innovative technical solutions for government agencies facing challenging problems.
We work, build, and operate bespoke, technically complex, mission‑critical systems that help our clients stay safe and secure. We are currently looking for experienced cloud engineers to join our cross‑functional team, who, in partnership with our clients, will help define, guide and assure the delivery of integrated solutions.
Due to the secure nature of this project, this role requires candidates to either already hold, or be eligible to obtain, a high level of UK Security Clearance. To meet the eligibility criteria for this clearance, applicants must be sole British nationals, have been resident in the UK for the past 10 years, and must not have spent more than 28 consecutive days outside the UK within the last five years. Individuals who do not currently hold clearance are still encouraged to apply and will be considered both for this position and for other suitable opportunities within CGI where appropriate.
This role is primarily based on a secure client site and requires attendance on site five days per week due to the sensitive nature of the work and the systems involved. While the position is predominantly site‑based, there may be occasional flexibility where business needs and security constraints allow; any such arrangements would be agreed in advance with the project team.
