Job description for Naval Architect Are you a naval architect looking to work on cutting-edge defence projects? This is an exciting opportunity to join Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S), where you will play a pivotal role in delivering critical capabilities for the Royal Navy and Royal Fleet Auxiliary. You will be part of a dedicated team of engineers tackling unique technical challenges and introducing innovative methods and technologies to support naval operations. You will work within a specialist skills group and be assigned to high-profile projects based on organisational priorities and your development goals. These may involve ship acquisition or in service support, giving you exposure to a broad range of naval architecture assignments. You will shape and support whole ship design and operation, ensuring ships and small craft are integrated, safe, and able to meet demanding performance requirements. You'll apply your technical expertise across the acquisition lifecycle, managing risk, setting standards, and guiding both MOD teams and industry partners to deliver assured, compliant, and capable platforms. Depending on your background, you may work in areas such as concept design, ship structures, hydrodynamics, stability, ship repair and construction, survivability, small craft design, maritime escape and evacuation, or emergency response and salvage. Across these domains, your leadership, communication, and influencing skills will be essential to building strong relationships, sharing critical information, and securing successful outcomes. You may travel to sites across the UK and occasionally overseas, including visits to ships, shipyards, and dockyards. We offer flexible working arrangements, with an expectation of at least three days a week on site to support collaboration and team cohesion. During your initial weeks, additional time on site may be required as you get to know the team and environment.

Clearance must be obtained without any caveats that prevent you from carrying out the role you've 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or is obtained but with caveats that prevent you from carrying out the role, any conditional offer made to you will be withdrawn.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 SC security clearance can be a lengthy process, and we reserve the right to withdraw any conditional offer made if the necessary security clearance isn't obtained within 12 months. What you'll be doing Provide expert technical advice on ship structures, hydrostatics, and hydrodynamics, supporting design decisions and assurance processes. Identify and analyse complex technical hazards and project impacts, contribute to risk reduction measures, and ensure these are fully documented and understood. Apply legislation, policy, and standards to guarantee safety, security, environmental compliance, and interoperability across systems in a highly regulated environment. Produce and review technical documentation, models, layouts, and reports as part of assurance and acceptance activities. Collaborate closely with the Naval Authority and Technology Group (NATG) and Classification Societies to establish and maintain certification. Mentor and support the development of junior naval architects and entry-level talent. Person specification To be successful with your application, you'll need to show that you meet the following essential criteria: Lead Essential Criteria (Lead criterion) - Demonstrable wide-ranging depth and breadth experience of providing technical advice and leading the delivery of successful Naval Architecture outcomes Hold a Science, Technology, Engineering, and/or Mathematics based qualification at RQF Level 4 Belong to a relevant Professional body/institution related to your discipline, be professionally registered as either: Incorporated Engineer (IEng), or higher or Incorporated Marine Engineering (IMarEng), or higher Note: Alternatives to RQF listed above (which cover England, Wales, and Northern Ireland only), is the Scottish SCQF or international equivalent qualification backed up by a statement of comparability from UK ENIC.

DV Cleared Data Architects Wanted Multi-Cloud / Data Platforms UK (Hybrid) £90,000 - £100,000 + bonus + benefits London / Bristol / Manchester (hybrid) Active DV Clearance Required I'm working with successful multinational tech consultancy that has secured a number of long-term client programmes and is now looking to bring in several DV Cleared Data Architects to meet that demand. If you're DV cleared and tired of being locked into one stack or one client environment, this is worth a look. You'll be working across a range of secure, high-impact programmes with real ownership over how the data platforms are designed and delivered not just implementing someone else's blueprint. What you'll be doing It's a genuine end-to-end architecture role. You won't just be focused on one part of the data lifecycle, you'll own the full picture, from ingestion through to consumption, across different client environments and industries. Designing full data platforms end-to-end, making sure everything flows properly from ingestion through to consumption Working with modern approaches like lakehouse and medallion architectures (Bronze, Silver, Gold) Defining both batch and streaming pipelines depending on the use case Making real decisions around storage, orchestration, governance and security - not just executing a predefined design Working closely with clients and stakeholders to translate business problems into practical technical solutions, across both technical and non-technical audiences Operating in secure, regulated environments where attention to detail and sound judgement matter Tech environment It's a multi-cloud setup so you won't be pigeonholed but they are happy to consider applications from DV Cleared candidates with experience of one or more of the major cloud platforms. AWS, Azure and GCP depending on the project Databricks, Snowflake and Synapse Spark and distributed processing frameworks for large-scale data Streaming technologies such as Kafka or Kinesis You're expected to pick the right tools for the problem, not just default to whatever you know best. What they're looking for Active DV Clearance - must already be held A strong background in Data Architecture with hands-on experience Solid understanding of modern data patterns - lakehouse, medallion, streaming Experience designing full platforms, not just individual components Comfortable working with clients and stakeholders, not just internal teams A practical mindset, someone who makes sensible trade-offs rather than over-engineering Why it's worth considering What tends to appeal to people is the combination of variety and genuine ownership. You're working across different projects and industries, with the freedom to steer your own career based on where your strengths lie. There's a good balance of deep technical work and client-facing delivery, and you'll get real exposure to a wide range of tools, platforms and environments rather than repeating the same patterns on the same stack. Interested? If you hold active DV Clearance and want a role where you can design, influence and deliver real data platforms across secure programmes, it's worth a conversation. Get in touch and I'll give you the full picture. Salary: £90,000 - £100,000 + bonus + benefits Location - London / Bristol / Manchester / Belfast (hybrid) - 2 days a week in any of their offices.
