We are seeking experienced professionals for multiple roles to support the design, development, deployment, and sustainment of cyber training environments, and participate in cyber exercise planning and development for collective and joint exercises.

  • Integrate Blue/Red/Grey space components to support realistic training scenarios.
  • Collaborate with Defence stakeholders to scope, plan, and deliver tailored cyber range solutions
  • Support live cyber exercises, including troubleshooting, range sustainment, and inject delivery
  • Produce technical documentation, run sheets, and system diagrams for repeatable deployments
  • Lead or contribute to the development of Cyber Exercise Lifecycles (CELC) and training artefacts.
  • Manage network architecture, system hardening, and endpoint protection tools within range environments.

Essential Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience in Cyber Range operations, simulation, or exercise planning
  • Strong background in network and systems administration (Windows Server, Linux, AD, GPO, SCCM)
  • Familiarity with Defence ICT environments, including classified networks and simulation platforms
  • Hands-on experience with virtualisation technologies, scripting, and cyber security tools
  • Ability to work in high-tempo, mission-critical environments with multidisciplinary teams
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement and technical documentation skills

Qualifications

  • SANS Cyber Courses (Level 4 and above)
