Our work is of unparalleled strategic importance nationally and internationally, ensuring the security of the UK's continuous at-sea nuclear deterrent, and delivering some of the most technically complex programmes in defence.
Here you'll find a community to belong to - whether that's alongside project teams with a shared vision or as part of an employee network of like-minded individuals. We believe that, by celebrating different backgrounds and perspectives, together we'll achieve the extraordinary.
We offer 25+ days' holiday, flexible and hybrid working, enhanced parental leave schemes, shopping discounts, and an exceptional employer pension contribution of around 27%, to help work work for you.
Job description
The SDA has a great opportunity for an Associate IT Operations Analyst to join one of our forward thinking and progressive teams based at Corsham, giving you a fantastic chance to form an integral part of our Information Management & Information Technology (IM&IT) function.
This role will support the delivery of high quality, complex IT services. You will be working closely with the operational teams to ensure customer service is at the core of the IT services we deliver, and that end-user requirements are understood and clearly communicated. Working alongside the IT Operations Manager, you will establish and support the continuous improvement of Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) aligned processes.
The successful candidate will be an integral part of a growing team. It provides an exciting opportunity for an individual to identify improvements in existing report sets, and to use their skills to analyse data to derive insights, identify trends and inform proactive service management. Specialist training is available to allow individuals to develop in the role.
For security reasons this role is open to sole UK nationals only. A ‘sole UK national' refers to an individual who holds citizenship solely in the UK, without dual citizenship or nationality from another country. We're unable to offer visa sponsorship.
This role requires you to have lived in the UK for the last 10 years and obtain Developed Vetting (DV) Security Clearance. Clearance must be obtained without any caveats that prevent you from carrying out the role you have been recruited for. If it isn't obtained or is obtained but with caveats that prevent you from carrying out the role, any conditional offer made to you will be withdrawn. Obtaining DV security clearance can be a lengthy process. You'll join us once Security Check (SC) clearance is obtained, and then the more enhanced DV checks will continue after you've started your employment. If SC clearance isn't obtained within 12 months, we reserve the right to withdraw any conditional offer made.
At the SDA, we champion flexible ways of working. Regular in-person attendance is required to promote the benefits of face-to-face collaboration alongside flexibility of hours to support work-life balance however, due to the nature of this role you will be required on site for a minimum of 4 days per week. This gives the opportunity to work closely with key stakeholders in Corsham.
