Configuration Administrator

Information Services and Security have a vital role to play in a crucial national mission. We are here to enable the organisation to deliver through the use of technology. As AWE transforms itself to meet the needs of the UK's next-generation nuclear deterrent, we need to adapt to deliver data-driven decision making, flexible and future-proofed IT services, adaptable cyber security, support to a multi-billion Pound building programme, and many more.

The scale might be daunting to some, but you'll find it stimulating. We've got a long journey that we've only just started and we're looking for motivated people who can take us in the right direction. Your role will contribute directly to that shared mission. We won't deceive you, in some areas we're starting from a low base, but within ten years this organisation will look quite different, and you can help make that happen. This is a role where you'll contribute to a legacy of national security for decades to come.

So come and join us.

We are recruiting for an Configuration Administrator to complement the Configuration Specialist(s) and Senior Configuration Specialist(s) to deliver a configuration management service in accordance with the Configuration Management Plans (CMP) that supports the area(s) of responsibility, contributing to Licence Condition 22 compliance.
