Shape the future of defence through high-impact consultancy projects.

We’re working with a growing technical consultancy supporting some of the UK’s most critical defence and aerospace programmes. As a Senior Systems Engineer, you’ll play a key role delivering innovative engineering solutions for a range of clients bringing fresh ideas, technical rigour, and hands-on leadership to every project.

This is more than just a delivery role — it’s a chance to act as a trusted advisor, shaping solutions from concept through to system integration and final validation.

What You’ll Be Doing :

  • Leading systems engineering workstreams across the full lifecycle – from concept and requirements capture to design, test, and delivery
  • Engaging directly with clients to understand challenges and craft tailored solutions
  • Driving integration, verification, and validation (IV&V) strategies on complex, safety-critical systems
  • Translating high-level needs into clear technical documentation and system architectures
  • Supporting bids, proposals, and technical presentations as part of a broader consulting team

What You’ll Bring :

  • Experience across the full systems engineering lifecycle
  • A strong track record in integration and validation of complex systems
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills – able to consult, challenge, and collaborate
  • Familiarity with systems tools and frameworks (DOORS, SysML, MBSE, etc.)
  • Background in defence, aerospace, or other regulated sectors
  • Hold SC Clearance

    • Why This Role?

  • Join a consultancy delivering real impact on high-profile national programmes
  • Variety : work across multiple platforms, clients, and domains
  • Autonomy : contribute your expertise while shaping technical direction
  • Progression : grow into lead roles, technical authority, or client-facing delivery

    • Ready to deliver smarter systems solutions for tomorrow’s challenges?
