Job summary:

Do you want to be at the heart of real Defence issues and play a key role in the United Kingdom's (UK) national security?

Established in April 2016, the Defence Nuclear Organisation (DNO) delivers nuclear capability to deter threats and protect our nation.


The DNO oversees all defence nuclear business (excluding operations) and is responsible for providing nuclear deterrence; sponsoring the Defence Nuclear Enterprise (all the organisations, programmes and people that sustain the UK's nuclear deterrent); and advising on UK nuclear policy, planning and international co-operation on nuclear matters.

The UK's independent nuclear deterrent has existed for over 60 years to deter the most extreme threats to our national security and way of life, and that of our NATO Allies.


Here at DNO we strongly believe that diversity and inclusion is not only the right thing to do but is also essential for a thriving and successful organisation.

We know that diverse teams bring a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and ideas, which lead to better decision-making, creativity, and innovation.

We have a culture where differences are celebrated and our people feel supported, included, and empowered.

Join us and be part of an organisation that truly values diversity and inclusion and makes a positive impact on the world.


These roles will sponsor and enable the delivery of infrastructure and strategic materials outcomes through our delivery agents and/or industry.

These outcomes will be required in the right place, in the right condition, at the right time to meet the needs of UK warhead programme to ensure the UK's deterrent is effective and safe, now and in the future.

These Assistant Head roles will be expected to own their specified outputs and be accountable for the outputs of their teams.


These posts are on the MOD Civilian Nuclear Post Control List (PCL) and may attract the Nuclear Recruitment and Retention Allowance (RRA).

This is a discretionary allowance.

The post being listed on the PCL does not mean that the post holder will have an automatic entitlement to receive the RRA.

The NSQEP RRA is not a contractual allowance and can be amended or withdrawn without notice in line with MOD Main and Submarine Delivery Agency policy.

Posts based in London will attract the relevant London weighting.

These posts are advertised at 37 hours per week.


Job description:

The nuclear weapon production system is both complicated and complex.

Many of the capabilities required have not been delivered for two generations and consequently there is a need to deliver modern fit for purpose infrastructure capabilities to support the target production system.

Equally, these weapons require numerous hazardous material feedstocks that are in limited supply and carry a high regulatory constraint.

There is a need to manage and control our existing stockpile and develop new procurement, manufacturing, and machining capability, which ties into the infrastructure above.


There are 4 Assistant Head roles available across the Infrastructure and Materials (I&M) team focused across different projects/elements of the portfolio.

They will manage the full project/programme life cycle within their area of responsibility.

From requirement capture, options analysis, approvals, sponsorship of delivery and ultimately, acceptance into operations for the realisation of capability benefits.


They will be responsible for supporting sponsors, developing, and managing relationships with wider stakeholders, supporting in the development of understanding of the benefits and capabilities being delivered by the infrastructure and materials projects or programme.


Post holders will develop as SME's and will support the wider portfolio by acting as a point of contact for non-I&M led projects and programmes with a view to managing interdependencies and shaping the portfolio to meet demand.

Act as an intelligent customer and support development of the DNO material strategy and its Infrastructure Capability Plans (ICP). This includes assessing and accepting recommendations proposed. Materials roles will also translate and define requirements for the procurement, reprocessing and disposal of nuclear material. They will act as an integrator into wider programme planning and develop and implement a MOD strategic materials plan.
