About The Role

The Trials and Validation (T&V) Capability plays a critical role in delivering independent technical evaluation and reporting services across a wide range of projects. This includes data collection, analysis, and performance measurement of in-service or new equipment/system fits. Activities span from supporting integration and acceptance of new equipment to providing Verification and Validation evidence against requirement sets. As a T&V Consultant, you will contribute to specialist deliverables, lead technical discussions, and apply your expertise to ensure outcomes align with best practice. Working across military domains—such as Submarine, Weapon Engineering, DOORs, Army Trials, and Systems Engineering—you’ll also have opportunities to engage in civilian projects. The role demands strong technical scrutiny, requirements development, and the ability to mentor junior team members, while considering commercial aspects and supporting bids. This is a dynamic position for professionals who thrive on influencing technical outcomes and driving projects to successful completion.

About You

You will hold a minimum of a degree in Electronic, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering (or an equivalent qualification), with alternatives such as HND/HNC supported by relevant experience. You’ll bring demonstrable knowledge of military systems and operations, along with a strong understanding of security requirements. A solid grasp of integration, test, evaluation and systems acceptance processes is essential, as is experience in acceptance, tests and trials—or at least the ability to confidently advise on correct procedures and policies used within MOD and industry. Ideally, you will also have familiarity with CADMID, the V-Model and defence lines of development, as well as experience in military operations, safety and training considerations, and working knowledge of DOORS. Additional desirable skills include scripting and conducting trials, or attendance at factory or deployed trials.

What's Next?

If you are ready to contribute your skills and passion to a dynamic team addressing impactful challenges, we invite you to apply for this exciting opportunity with BMT. Join us in shaping a safer, more efficient, and sustainable future.
