We hold a rigorous two-stage interview process. The first stage is an interview to run through your CV and competencies. We will also give you an unseen case study to test your logical thinking. This interview will either by phone or face-to-face, depending on the role you've applied for.

The second stage is a one and a half hour, face-to-face interview, during which you will be asked to give a presentation on a technical topic (typically a University project or relevant work experience) and answer questions on your technical and business knowledge.

Only those with the permanent and unrestricted right to live and work in the UK will be considered for a position at BAE Systems Detica. This is due to the nature of the work we do and the fact that Security Clearence is required to work on our projects.

You can apply for more than one role at a time. In order to find the best fit for you in the business we may at times talk to you about reassigning your application to a different role you applied to.

You can re-apply twelve months after your initial application.

There may be opportunity to change jobs, dependent on your skills, performance, and demand for people with your background to fill that particular job.

We have offices in Guildford, London and Gloucester.

Detica is mindful of rewarding good performance and encouraging people to develop. Consequently, we operate an annual appraisal review.
