Can you lead the engineering integrity of the UK's most critical national security technologies?

In the world of national security, the stakes couldn't be higher. While the pace of delivery continues to accelerate, our commitment to quality, rigour and long-term sustainability remains. We're looking for someone who can help us maintain that balance and drive excellence at every stage.

We are HMGCC, the engineering specialists at the heart of the UK's national security.

Working across government, industry, academia and with international allies, we bring engineering ingenuity to some of the nation's most complex challenges, developing the tools and technologies that help keep the UK safe.

Our engineers work across an exceptionally broad range of disciplines, from software and hardware through to electronics, manufacturing and specialist engineering.

You will balance the urgent needs of today with the strategic health of tomorrow, ensuring our engineering capabilities remain sustainable, resilient and ready to meet future challenges.
