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 programme outcomes through our delivery agents.

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.

This work will contribute to ensuring the UK's deterrent is effective and safe, now and in the future. The SEO/C1 Managers will be expected to own specific outputs and support their respective Grade 6/B2 manager.

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The NSQEP RRA is not a contractual allowance and can be amended or withdrawn without notice in line with MOD Main and Submarine Delivery Agency policy.

This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.

Job description:

We have several roles available across the DNO Warhead Group, which will be integrated within either the Infrastructure or Materials team.

The role will also translate and define requirements for the procurement, reprocessing and disposal of nuclear material.

The role will act as an integrator into wider programme planning and develop and implement a MOD strategic materials plan.

The posts will support across the infrastructure and materials teams as part of a wider cohort of SEO/C1s with similar skills and competencies to develop resilience in the infrastructure capital team.

This includes representing the Defence Nuclear Programme in nuclear weapon programme fora on strategic material or infrastructure issues. Briefing senior managers from the MOD and government on these issues
