Our team is growing fast and we are looking for self-starting, motivated and experienced Solution Architects with knowledge and experience in IT system design, development, testing, support and management to support us in the pursuit of new business and delivery on our existing contracts. This will enable us to evolve and grow within our target markets, whilst giving you the opportunity to work on some of the most exciting and interesting projects and programmes across the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Government portfolio. This role provides a fantastic career opportunity, allowing you to join a growing team and develop your skills and experience under the guidance and mentorship of our senior leadership team.

Reporting to the System Engineering Manager, you will have the opportunity to work across multiple market sectors to suit your interests and career aspirations under a hybrid working arrangement that best suits each client's needs. The role will see you developing solutions to satisfy explicit requirements placed on us by our diverse client portfolio, applying a methodical approach to ensure the optimum solution is designed, with demonstrable traceability to the source requirements. Training and development opportunities specific to the project needs, the role and those of your own career plan will be available and supported by the company and team.
