What You'll Bring

  • Knowledge or strong interest of Lean, Six Sigma or similar methodologies.
  • Excellent facilitation and stakeholder engagement skills—you can bring people with you on the journey.
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to translate data into actionable insights, ideally qualified to engineering degree level or equivalent work experience.
  • Resilience, adaptability, and a passion for making things better every day
  • Entry Requirements
  • A minimum of a 2:2 Bachelor’s/Integrated Master’s degree, or higher degree, such as MSc or PhD.
  • For this role, acceptable degree disciplines include:
  • Engineering degrees
  • Maths and Science degrees
  • Computing & Digital degrees
  • A full statement of courses and projects studied at university and corresponding grades/marks/percentage should be included in your CV.
  • Security Clearance
  • Many of our roles are subject to security and export control restrictions set by UK Government Security requirements and customer obligations. As a result, and in line with the UK Government Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) requirements, all successful applicants will be asked to provide evidence of identity, eligibility to work in the UK, criminal record declaration information and employment and/or education history verification for the previous five years.
  • For staff operating in more sensitive posts, there is an additional range of personnel security controls referred to as National Security Vetting (NSV). As part of this process, a range of factors may be considered, including an individual's background, travel history, nationality, previous nationalities held and other information relevant to the vetting assessment.
  • To be eligible for National Security Vetting at SC level, applicants will generally be expected to have continuously resided in the UK for the previous five years. For DV clearance, this is typically ten years. In some circumstances, time spent overseas may be accepted, with additional overseas checks. Additional vetting requirements may apply upon appointment.
