Join our dynamic Information Management and Technology (IM&T) team, where you'll play a pivotal role in delivering reliable, cost-effective IT services to a global organisation. As a Digital Application Assistant, you'll be at the heart of supporting the continuous assessment of our IT portfolio, tackling obsolescence issues, security vulnerabilities and contributing to a range of activities across applications, infrastructure, and services. This exciting opportunity offers you the chance to collaborate with both internal and external teams across BAE Systems Land UK and beyond, engaging with stakeholders from multiple functions and promoting cross-sector working/solutions. With an expanding IM&T team and clear opportunities for career progression, this role provides a varied and impactful environment for personal and professional growth. Why BAE Systems? This is a place where you'll be able to make a real difference. You'll be part of an inclusive culture that values diversity, rewards integrity, and merit, and where you'll be empowered to fulfil your potential. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and particularly from sections of the community who are currently underrepresented within our industry, including women, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ individuals. We also want to make sure that our recruitment processes are as inclusive as possible. If you have a disability or health condition (for example dyslexia, autism, an anxiety disorder etc.) that may affect your performance in certain assessment types, please speak to your recruiter about potential reasonable adjustments. Please be aware that many roles at BAE Systems are subject to both security and export control restrictions. These restrictions mean that factors such as your nationality, any nationalities you may have previously held, and your place of birth can restrict the roles you are eligible to perform within the organisation. All applicants must as a minimum achieve Baseline Personnel Security Standard. Many roles also require higher levels of National Security Vetting where applicants must typically have 5 to 10 years of continuous residency in the UK depending on the vetting level required for the role, to allow for meaningful security vetting checks.
