You’ll be part of a big company, but we try to create a culture that feels more like a small one. The work will stretch you and be challenging, but we encourage a healthy work-life balance and welcome a discussion on flexible working. Most of all, we know that teams who work well together also perform well. We’ll do everything we can to ensure you have fun both at work and in our social activities outside of it.

We are specifically recruiting for our National Security business which is the largest area within our Government division. Our mission is to be the most trusted partner for our National Security clients in delivery of their core mission.

We have a rich history of working within National Security. In fact, we have over 50 years’ experience of delivering advice and solutions to our customers in this sector, supporting them in carrying out their vital missions. We are currently at the forefront of introducing new technology and approaches, and would like you to be part of this exciting phase in our history.

What we are made of

We pride ourselves on being able to solve some of our customers’ most complex problems. That ability is based on the skills and experience of our people and our culture, which respects and supports the individual.

Our people are what differentiate us, they are ingenious, innovative and dedicated. We have a mix of generalists and specialists and recognise that this diversity contributes to our success. In general, we work in teams. We recognise the benefits of forming teams from a mix of disciplines, which allows us to come up with balanced, high quality solutions.

We work hard and often go the extra mile, but we recognise people’s efforts and that everyone has a life outside of work. We encourage people to speak up if they want to rotate to a new project in support of career development, or even just to face a new challenge. We also support flexible working and keeping a healthy work/life balance.

Our breadth across the National Security sector provides diverse opportunities for our people to develop their careers in new areas of expertise or with new clients, if they choose.
