UK Telecommunications Laboratory (UKTL)
Led by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, the UK Telecoms Lab (UKTL), announced in October 2022, will give the UK the cutting-edge technology to keep our telecommunications networks safe, accelerate the roll-out of 5G, and grow our brilliant telecoms sector by bringing in new entrants to diversify the supply chain market.
Successful candidates will have a unique experience working on or supporting the latest ground-breaking cyber security and networking technologies on a national and international scale. This opportunity will allow those involved to have first-hand exposure to the latest technologies via the research and development that we are undertaking to secure our telecommunications networks, in order to keep the UK the safest place to live and do business online. It also gives exposure to senior government department officials, communications industry leaders, and academic professionals, all key stakeholders in the work of UKTL as you help UKTL's leaders to coordinate meetings and briefings.
As a trusted and independent national capability, the UKTL will interact at the intersection of standards bodies, such as 3GPP, the National Cyber Security Centre and the wider UK intelligence community, academia, Ofcom, as well as Communications Service Providers and telecommunication equipment vendors.
Successful Applicants must be able to commute to the UKTL offices in Birmingham with the possibility of hybrid working.
We strive to offer a great work-life balance - if you are looking for full time, part time or flexible options, we will try to make this work where business possible. This will be dependent on the kind of role you do and part of the business you work in.
UKTL has adopted Jira and Confluence to manage our internal workflows, prioritise backlogs and to scope, record and report on work progress. As we mature our processes, the requirement for a Jira and Confluence Systems administrator to maintain, customise and support the system as well as promoting its use within the teams has arisen. You will report to the Technical Programme Director.
