Job description
Salary: £34,889 plus a location allowance of £1,750 and excellent benefits
Contract type: Permanent
Working pattern: Full-time
Location: Based in Hanslope Park, Milton Keynes with occasional travel to London and overseas sites
Free shuttle bus available between central Milton Keynes and Hanslope Park
At FCDO Services we protect the UK’s interests at home and overseas. We design and construct secure government buildings and courier diplomatic packages worldwide, safeguard government tech and a whole lot more. Our work is as varied and vital as it gets, but we never lose sight of our people. Their skills, aspirations and growth mean as much as the global mission we’re on. In our world, it all matters.
Beyond our worldwide work in construction, logistics, and more, we're also home to the UK National Authority for Counter Eavesdropping (UK NACE). Working at the cutting edge of technology, the teams at UK NACE guard against technical espionage, provide policy advice to the government, investigate threats, and more – all to protect our nation's secrets. Now, you’ve got the opportunity to join them.
When you join our small and supportive team it will be your task to analyse and prepare reports on events of interest to our clients, highlight any trends or patterns you identify, discover threats and illuminate false positives. Focused on detecting breaches of security policy or attempts at unauthorised access, and making recommendations for improvement where weaknesses are identified, you’ll research intelligence sources, interpret information and deep dive into datasets as you carry out investigations. We’ll also expect you to assess the latest systems technology, provide advice on the design of dedicated equipment and ways in which we can combat identified vulnerabilities, and manage the third-party suppliers of specialist software.
Always ready to respond to requests for advice and guidance relating to threats or specific incidents, you’ll work in cross‑functional teams to deliver specific technical security consulting projects, and with NACE’s management team to improve our analysis capability. Committed to ensuring that all analysis meets the requirements of our rigorous review assessment procedures, we’ll also expect you to see that the publication and distribution of data and intelligence products reaches the right audiences.
Key to your success will be a strong focus on your own professional development, and with this in mind you’ll be dedicated to keeping up to speed with the latest technologies and best practice as you work to support and grow our organisation’s expertise.
To be a success in this important role you should have well developed experience of data analysis and data management tools, a Level 3 qualification in Physics, Engineering or Technology, and the ability to use data analysis to produce in-depth knowledge and insights. You’ll be collaborating and sharing knowledge with other teams in NACE, so you should be an inspirational team worker with excellent engagement, communication and interpersonal skills, and a tenacious problem solver with a can-do attitude. You’ll be based in Hanslope Park but we’ll expect you to travel occasionally to London and overseas locations, so you should have a flexible and adaptable approach to your work.
This is a role where you’ll have the opportunity to shape how we manage new services and how we deliver them, so you should be ready to look at the bigger picture, bring new ideas to the table and get involved in briefings. Self-motivated, highly driven and passionate about your work, some experience of risk analysis and technical security at policy level would be desirable, as would an understanding of state actor threats and vulnerabilities. Some knowledge of the relevant engineering and scientific fundamentals that support and underpin technical surveillance countermeasures would be a bonus, as would a Level 4 qualification in Engineering or Technology, and familiarity with relevant data analysis software, platforms or programmes.
But we’re always looking to improve – just like you. That’s why when you join us, expect to receive a competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement and a Civil Service Pension. Along with this, you’ll also have access to training and other development opportunities to help grow your career with us. Our offices have an on-site gym, nursery, café, and restaurant, and we offer interest-free loans on season tickets and bikes to help you get there. It's a great set of benefits made to support all you do, and all you need.
