The Future Joint Command and Staff Trainer (FJCAST) programme will transform the delivery of senior staff training, enabling Joint Headquarters, operational commands, coalition partners and allied nations to train together across Land, Maritime, Air, Space and Cyberspace domains. Through the integration of simulation, synthetic environments, exercise design, data exploitation, operational networks and coalition interoperability, FJCAST will support the training, preparation, experimentation and evaluation of UK and allied operational headquarters.

To assist with this, we have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Systems Security Engineer to provide the functional security governance, management and support to the Delivery Team across our FJCAST programme.
