Configuration Manager

Our world-leading Time & Frequency department seek a Configuration Manager with recent experience in configuration of hardware, software and documentation.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join the global authority in precision timing at a defining moment for UK digital infrastructure.

Backed by a government investment of £180 million in the National Timing Centre (NTC) programme, we are developing a world-first resilient time distribution capability that will provide industry with a robust complement to satellite systems such as GPS – which are increasingly vulnerable to disruption from solar storms, jamming and spoofing. This will underpin essential services; including

• Telecommunications,
• Online banking,
• Emergency response,
• Transport networks, and
• Wider digital and data-driven operations.

Together, these services form the backbone of modern society - and your leadership will help ensure they remain secure, reliable and robust even if global navigation satellite systems fail.

Key responsibilities:

As Configuration Manager, you’ll establish, manage, and govern the operational delivery of Configuration Management to support the UK’s National Timescale, providing day-to-day, multi‑site operational support:

• Establish and maintain compliance with Asset and Configuration Management processes,

• Own pre‑production validation, ensuring changes are fully assessed before release,

• Advise on hardware and software refresh and improvement activities,

• Organise, manage, and chair the Configuration Control Board (CCB),

• Support and advise Project and Engineering teams to maintain configuration integrity, and

• Conduct configuration audits (FCA and PCA).
