Summary
SSPAG is part of the Defence Nuclear Organisation (DNO). SSPAG’s role is to help assure the effectiveness of the Nuclear Deterrent. We do this through a programme of analysis, assessments and audits of key capabilities and operations. Our assessments are central to senior decision making within the Ministry of Defence. In SSPAG you will be at the heart of real Defence issues, delivering against one of the Department’s top priorities, in a high-profile area which is rarely out of the news.
The Technical Partner role is based in the SSPAG Strategic Assessments team. We undertake bespoke numerical simulations, conduct operational analysis, and provide technical studies which support the UK submarine fleet. The Technical Partner role is unique within the team, split between technical work and project delivery to understand and deliver novel capabilities. The post would suit an individual with experience in leading and managing technical projects, possessing an inquisitive technical mindset and the aptitude to learn from engagement with the engineering, analytical, science and technology communities.
As part of a busy and well-respected team, you will be responsible for leading and managing the design, implementation and support of projects and scientific studies delivering insight into future technologies related to the effectiveness of the Nuclear Deterrent. You will have opportunities to engage across MoD, Dstl, industry, academia, wider government, and potentially internationally in the identification of routes for bringing this understanding to the team.
You will also have the opportunity to contribute directly to technical studies relating to submarine effectiveness. These studies cover a wide range of techniques, including operational analysis; the creation and use of bespoke numerical models; signal processing and signal detection.
Even if you don’t think you’ve got 100% of what we’re after, still give it a go. There will be training opportunities plus a supportive environment for the right candidate who is willing to invest their time and energy into developing themselves for this role.
Flexible and condensed working patterns can be considered for this post but due to security constraints the role is not suitable for hybrid working. Candidates are encouraged to discuss options with the recruiting line manager before submitting an application.
If applicable:
Remote working within this role is something that can be discussed at interview stages or with your future line manager if you are found successful.
