Job summary:

This is a genuinely exciting time to join the Ministry of Defence (MOD) if you want to be at the heart of real Defence issues.

You will get to work on a high profile and distinctive portfolio which is rarely out of the news and have an outstanding insight into the captivating world of defence nuclear.

Established in April 2016, the Defence Nuclear Organisation (DNO) was set up to coordinate all aspects of nuclear business within the MOD; responsible for all submarines (from buying them through to disposal when they reach the end of their life), nuclear warheads, skills, related infrastructure and day-to-day nuclear policy.

DNO consists of the people, equipment and infrastructure required to successfully deter the most extreme threats to our national security and way of life.

Within DNO, the Warhead Directorate leads the UK nuclear warhead programme which provides a stockpile of reliable, safe, and effective nuclear warheads to support the UK's strategic nuclear deterrent now and in the future.

The Warhead Directorate has staff based in MOD Main Building, MOD Abbey Wood (Bristol), Aldermaston (Reading), HM Naval Base Clyde (Scotland) and British Embassy Washington DC.

This post can be based in Bristol or Aldermaston.

Regular travel to other sites around the UK, especially AWE Aldermaston, will be required, as will travel to the United States.

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The NSQEP RRA is not a contractual allowance and can be amended or withdrawn without notice in line with MOD Main and Submarine Delivery Agency policy.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

The Artorius Risk & Assumptions Support post is both exciting and multifaceted, directly crafting the future of the nuclear weapons programme.

There is opportunity to network with a wide variety of partners spanning Government, MOD and defence suppliers both nationally and internationally.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wishes to join the defence nuclear programme. You will be joining a diverse and multi-disciplined team delivering key elements of the UK nuclear deterrent. Few projects are as meaningful as this one, and our nuclear programme is a key priority for the Government. This leads to a hugely exciting sense of making a real contribution to defence objectives.

This role will be of particular interest to anyone keen on continual personal development. There is opportunity to undertake a range of professional, academic & specific role-related courses. Also, there is scope to diversify and gain experience across all the Programme Control disciplines and wider programme.

The Replacement Warhead Programme Risk & Assumptions Support will directly support and assist the Risk & Assumptions Lead in implementing and facilitating all aspects of Risk & Assumptions Management.

Although not initially essential, the Risk & Assumptions Support will also have/gain an awareness of wider Project Control disciplines (Scheduling/Cost Control etc.) to ensure that risk & assumptions are baked into all areas of the business.

There is ample opportunity to undertake specific training to gain wider project delivery experience and further future careers prospects.
