Technical Security Advisor

Reference number: 467439

Salary: £48,801 plus a location allowance of £1,750 and excellent benefits

Location: Based in Hanslope Park, Milton Keynes. Full time, on site, with travel around the UK for conferences and meetings

Free shuttle bus available between central Milton Keynes and Hanslope Park

At FCDO Services, we protect the UK’s interests at home and overseas. We design and construct secure government buildings, courier diplomatic packages worldwide, safeguard government tech, and a whole lot more. Our work is as varied and vital as it gets, but we never lose sight of our people. Their skills, aspirations and growth mean as much as the global mission we’re on. In our world, it all matters.

Protecting government assets is a big picture operation for us. That’s why our Technical Security team is made up of all kinds of talent. From security design engineers creating solutions for global threats to technical installers guarding the UK’s most sensitive assets in real time, this team provides the full spectrum of protection for the UK around the world. Now, you’ve got the opportunity to join them.

Keeping people and information safe.

Solving unique problems.

Broadening your horizons.

It all matters.

Communicate your technical security expertise every day

UK NACE sits at the centre of government security. As a Technical Security Advisor, you’ll play a pivotal role in protecting UK interests, working closely with teams and departments across government and critical national infrastructure to keep the nation’s most sensitive assets safe.

The technical security threat landscape never stands still, and neither do we. You’ll work across His Majesty’s Government, Five Eyes and other international allies, academia and industry; communicating the guidance, policy and standards that UK NACE sets. Your reach will be significant. From direct briefings with ministers and director generals to speaking at national and international conferences, you’ll be a trusted, influential voice on technical security at the highest levels.

Collaboration is at the heart of this role. You’ll partner with security professionals across UK Government and the Critical National Infrastructure to deliver technical security advice, guidance and publications that make a real difference. Working with the wider team, you’ll help shape policy and standards over a one-to-five-year horizon, ensuring they remain effective against threats that are always evolving. You’ll also draw on your expertise to develop content for platforms including the Government intranet and external-facing websites.

This is a role for someone who combines deep technical knowledge with a confident, clear communication style, and we’ll support you to develop both further. As the team is still being built, you’ll have a genuine hand in shaping its culture from the ground up. Beyond that, you’ll grow an extensive network of security professionals and colleagues right across government.

You: a perfect pairing of technical knowledge and personability

You’re a confident, engaging communicator; as comfortable presenting to a room as you are in a one-to-one conversation. You know how to deliver a message with impact, build rapport quickly, and hold your own when a discussion takes an unexpected turn. Most importantly, you can translate complex technical concepts into clear, accessible language that anyone can understand. You’ll bring a track record of influencing senior stakeholders and earning their trust within the security community.

On the technical side, you’ll have strong knowledge of security frameworks, a deep understanding of state-actor threats and vulnerabilities, and familiarity with technical countermeasures and how they’re applied in practice. You’ll also bring foundation degree level knowledge (or equivalent) of relevant engineering and scientific principles such as applied physics, electronics, acoustics, thermodynamics, digital signal processing and mechanics, alongside an A Level 3 qualification in Physics, Engineering or Technology. Other relevant qualifications are equally welcome, such as a Level 5 Security qualification or membership of a recognised security institute.

Experience in technical security, delivering projects across broader security disciplines, or working within government security would be a real advantage.

A few practical points worth knowing: this role offers minimal opportunities for home working, as you’ll spend most of your time in the office or out delivering. You’ll travel regularly across the UK, so a full driving licence is essential.

Discover the support you need to grow your career further

A healthy work-life balance starts with giving you the time you need. You’ll enjoy a holiday allowance of 25 days, rising to 30 days based on your length of service, a competitive salary, and a Civil Service Pension. Along with this, you’ll also have access to training and other development opportunities to help grow your career with us. Our offices have an on-site gym, nursery, café, and restaurant, and we offer interest-free loans on season tickets and bikes to help you get there. It’s a great set of benefits made to support all you do, and all you need.

Every single colleague must be security cleared before joining us. If you’re successful in your application, we’ll ask you to undergo our vetting process to achieve Developed Vetting (DV) clearance. You can find out more about vetting at fcdoservicescareers.co.uk/how-to-apply/

Closing date: Apply before 11:55 pm on Wednesday 15th July 2026.

It takes a diverse team to protect a diverse world

The vital work we do takes an incredible community of colleagues, with different skills, backgrounds, cultures and identities. We support every individual, so that you always know you’re welcome and valued. It’s what makes us a Disability Confident employer. And why we’re recognised as a ‘Carer Confident’ workplace. And it’s how you know you’re joining an inspiring, inclusive organisation.
