The Information Knowledge Management Transition to Support Team:

This is a newly created and highly strategic role focused on shaping the future of data management across our Submarine programmes. As the fleet enters service, the focus is evolving from initial Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) data towards the long-term sustainment and management of engineering data throughout a lifecycle spanning more than 30 years. You'll play a pivotal role in defining and delivering the strategy, frameworks, and governance required to support this transition. Working at the forefront of a significant growth area within BAE Systems, you'll directly influence how engineering and support data is structured, integrated, and utilised across some of the UK's most advanced engineering programmes. We offer relocation support across Submarines roles, subject to meeting eligibility criteria.

Here you'll build a career with purpose and limitless possibilities. Lifelong learning, meaningful work, and a supportive culture enable you to grow with confidence. You'll be recognised for your contribution and supported with rewards that matter most to you.
