Skills and eligibility for additional payments will be assessed during the interview process. Flexible working: We support a range of flexible working patterns, including full time and part time arrangements, as well as compressed hours. Due to the sensitive nature of the role, home or remote working opportunities are not possible. About us GCHQ is an intelligence, cyber and security agency with a mission to keep the UK safe. We use cutting edge technology, ingenuity and partnerships to identify, analyse and disrupt threats. Working with our intelligence partners MI5 and MI6, we protect the UK from terrorism, cyber attacks and espionage. At GCHQ, you'll carry out varied and fascinating work in a supportive and inclusive environment that emphasises teamwork. The role As a Network Engineer within the Network Capability Centre (NCC), you'll design, implement and maintain secure, scalable network infrastructure that underpins critical organisational systems. Working in a large, multidisciplinary environment, there is a shared contribution to the delivery and ongoing reliability of network services supporting national security outcomes. Your work may include activities across a full lifecycle of network delivery.

You may also have experience across areas such as automation, cloud platforms or core services like DNS and DHCP. A practical approach to problem solving is key, together with an interest in working with live systems, identifying faults and maintaining reliable services. The ability to work effectively within a team, communicate clearly with both technical and non technical colleagues, and take a proactive approach to resolving issues is essential. A genuine interest in networking and emerging technologies will help you get the most out of the role, and you'll be motivated to continue developing your technical skills and expanding your knowledge. Training and development When you join, you'll complete a structured induction within the Network Capability Centre, giving you a broad understanding of the networks, systems and technologies that the team designs, builds and supports. Development is practical and continuous. You'll build your capability by working alongside experienced engineers on live systems, contributing to real projects from the outset. This is complemented by access to internal and external training, including core networking courses, specialist technologies and industry recognised certifications such as Cisco.

Flexible working: We support a range of flexible working patterns, including full time and part time arrangements, as well as compressed hours. Due to the sensitive nature of the role, home or remote working opportunities are not possible. About us GCHQ is an intelligence, cyber and security agency with a mission to keep the UK safe. We use cutting edge technology, ingenuity and partnerships to identify, analyse and disrupt threats. Working with our intelligence partners MI5 and MI6, we protect the UK from terrorism, cyber attacks and espionage. At GCHQ, you'll carry out varied and fascinating work in a supportive and inclusive environment that emphasises teamwork. The role As a Network Engineer within the Network Capability Centre (NCC), you'll design, implement and maintain secure, scalable network infrastructure that underpins critical organisational systems. Working in a large, multidisciplinary environment, there is a shared contribution to the delivery and ongoing reliability of network services supporting national security outcomes. Your work may include activities across a full lifecycle of network delivery. This includes designing and building solutions, supporting deployments, and monitoring and troubleshooting live environments to maintain availability, performance and security. There is also involvement in ongoing operations, including updates, patching and optimisation, alongside contributions to disaster recovery and business continuity activities. Day to day, work is a mix of independent tasks and collaboration, working closely with internal teams, customers and external organisations to resolve issues and strengthen network capability.

Experience with Cisco or similar networking technologies is essential. A good understanding in configuring and supporting network technologies is expected, alongside knowledge of systems such as Linux or Windows. You may also have experience across areas such as automation, cloud platforms or core services like DNS and DHCP. A practical approach to problem solving is key, together with an interest in working with live systems, identifying faults and maintaining reliable services. The ability to work effectively within a team, communicate clearly with both technical and non technical colleagues, and take a proactive approach to resolving issues is essential. A genuine interest in networking and emerging technologies will help you get the most out of the role, and you'll be motivated to continue developing your technical skills and expanding your knowledge. Training and development When you join, you'll complete a structured induction within the Network Capability Centre, giving you a broad understanding of the networks, systems and technologies that the team designs, builds and supports. Development is practical and continuous. You'll build your capability by working alongside experienced engineers on live systems, contributing to real projects from the outset. This is complemented by access to internal and external training, including core networking courses, specialist technologies and industry recognised certifications such as Cisco. Support is provided within a collaborative team environment, with a buddy to help with getting started and mentors to guide your ongoing development. As skills grow, there are opportunities to move across teams and technologies, broadening your experience and building a well rounded and rewarding career in network engineering.

Overview Stirling Dynamics is recruiting a Chief Engineer with a focus on software/electronic hardware. Stirling Dynamics design, develop and produce a wide range of high-end aircraft simulator, ground control and flightworthy cockpit controls. Stirling's products include both 'active' and 'passive' controls. The active controls primarily serve the engineering development and pilot training simulation market. They are feature-rich, highly reconfigurable, and suitable for single or dual (linked) aircraft cockpit configurations. Our range of active products includes side sticks, throttles, collectives, cyclics, tillers, pedals and their associated control systems. The company is continuously bringing new products to market while enhancing and refining existing solutions. Although Stirling has passive product offerings for the pilot training and simulation sector, the primary demand is for flightworthy applications where Stirling design, develop and supply products that are integrated within certified aircraft. We have pioneered active control technology since the early 1990s and are proud to hold many industry and technology firsts, including supplying the controls for the first fully active fly-by-wire helicopter flight. Today, we supply active sticks and throttles for the new F-35 pilot training simulators and continue to innovate and push boundaries in cockpit control technology. THE ROLE Due to a strong order book and sustained growth, Stirling Dynamics is seeking a highly experienced engineer to join the Chief Engineer team, providing technical leadership, guidance, and governance through the bid and complex project delivery phases. Our existing team brings a breadth of expertise across multiple disciplines. This opportunity is designed to complement that team by filling a key capability gap, with a focus on individuals with a software/electronic hardware background developed within regulated environments (e.g. rail, aerospace etc). Stirling operates a matrix organisation with engineering capability on one axis (engineering teams/departments - organised by discipline, each led by a Technical Manager) and project delivery on the other (project management delivering on behalf of business units - project management is led by the Head of Programmes and each business unit by a Business Manager).The Chief Engineer role sits within the delivery axis, working in collaboration with business stakeholders and technical teams to ensure that both bids and project solutions are technically robust, well-balanced (considering time, cost, and quality), and aligned with customer and regulatory requirements. The role is primarily based in our Bristol office, with occasional travel to client sites. We are committed to flexible working and offer the opportunity to work from home for part of the week. Chief Engineers provide an important 'governance' function, offering independent, thoughtful review of technical solutions. They may also take on a more hands on leadership role within particularly complex bids or projects, helping to guide direction and delivery.This is one of the most senior engineering roles within the organisation, reporting directly to the Operations Director. The work is diverse, spanning aerospace, marine, and training & simulation. Within Aerospace, projects may include civil and military applications across fixed wing, rotary wing (including eVTOL), and a range of aircraft sizes. Projects can encompass airworthy equipment development, complex modifications, and new aircraft programmes. In Marine, the work includes submarine control system solutions and specialist consultancy. Within Training & Simulation, it involves the design and manufacture of a wide range of active and passive pilot COTS (standard Stirling product) and bespoke cockpit control solutions for a global customer base. The ideal candidate will bring experience leading multi disciplinary teams and successfully delivery of complex engineering programmes in one or more of these areas. This is a highly visible role internally and externally. The ability to build strong, trusted relationships and work effectively with a wide variety of stakeholders (customers, regulators, and colleagues) is essential. Responsibilities General Act on behalf of the Operations Director to support the successful delivery of technical bids and projects/programmes. Business Development Support the Business Development teams by providing customer focused technical expertise and 'solutioneering' prior to formal bid activity. Proactively identify and nurture opportunities with both new and existing customers. Bids During the bid phase, work closely with business managers and project management, taking ownership of shaping a compelling and cohesive technical response. Engage Technical Managers and the wider engineering community where needed, ensuring that solutions are robust, well considered and aligned with requirements. Project Delivery Support a smooth and seamless transition from bid to project launch, ensuring technical continuity. Provide ongoing technical guidance and assurance to projects as needed (e.g. reviewing plans, facilitating design reviews, offering independent insight and support). On selected complex projects/programmes, take on a leading technical role to help ensure successful delivery of high quality, compliant, and commercially sound solutions. Strategy Contribute to shaping the future technical direction of products and services, supporting innovation and continuous improvement Desired skills Current Security Check (SC) clearance or eligibility to obtain Experience across the full product development lifecycle Customer facing technical or business development experience Success in this role will be supported by the following qualities: Ability to engage, support and guide multi disciplinary teams towards shared goals A collaborative and professional approach when working with diverse stakeholders Confidence to question, challenge constructively, and offer solutions Strong organisational skills with the ability to balance multiple complex priorities Practical, logical thinking combined with sound judgement Attention to detail and a proactive approach to quality assurance A motivated and dependable approach to meeting commitments Openness to change, with a positive mindset towards continuous improvement Experience Degree qualified engineer in a relevant discipline Significant experience in relevant sectors, particularly in software and electronic hardware within regulated/high integrity environments Proven experience contributing to and shaping technical bids Demonstrated success leading complex engineering projects and teams Benefits Competitive package. The role can cover grades 8-9 and therefore has a wide salary range (minimum of £65,000) as it will depend on the candidate's experience level.
