Clearance Required: Active eDV (Enhanced Developed Vetting)

Join a leading technology and engineering consultancy that delivers innovative solutions to complex challenges across the public and private sectors. We're looking for a skilled Business Analyst to support high-profile, secure projects that truly make a difference.

About the Role:

As a Business Analyst within the Engineering function, you'll play a critical role in analysing, defining, and delivering user requirements for major customer initiatives. You'll work closely with technical teams and end-users to ensure solutions are tailored, practical, and aligned with real-world needs.

This is a hands-on role where you'll take full ownership of requirements across the lifecycle-from discovery through to successful delivery-within Agile environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Engage with stakeholders to assess, plan, and prioritise user requirements under Agile frameworks.
• Conduct detailed feasibility studies and scope analysis for new features and enhancements.
• Apply a range of techniques-interviews, workshops, document analysis, surveys-to gather business and technical requirements.
• Analyse and validate collected information, distilling it into clear and actionable artefacts (e.g., functional specs, use cases, wireframes).
• Collaborate with developers, SMEs, and stakeholders to align business goals with technical solutions.
• Serve as a bridge between the customer and project teams, ensuring mutual understanding and delivery of fit-for-purpose solutions.
• Contribute to and support various testing phases including Integration Testing, UAT, and Functionality Testing.

Desirable Skills & Experience

• Experience in business or systems analysis roles, with formal training preferred.
• Strong background in modelling business processes, future states, and solution design.
• Familiarity with Agile tools such as DOORS and the Atlassian suite (e.g., Jira, Confluence).
• Understanding of Agile and iterative delivery methodologies, and how they compare to traditional waterfall approaches.
• Solid grasp of software development lifecycle and delivery best practices.
• A proactive mindset with a track record of delivering value in fast-paced project environments.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills-both technical and non-technical.
• Strong business acumen and a keen ability to quickly grasp customer goals and priorities.

Why Join Our Client?

You'll be part of a collaborative team solving real-world problems in a secure environment. You'll also enjoy opportunities to grow your career, influence project direction, and work on meaningful projects that have tangible impact.

• 37hr working week, although hours may vary depending on role, job requirement or site-specific arrangements.
• Early 1.30pm finish Friday, start your weekend early!
• Competitive salaries.
• 25 days holiday + statutory public holidays, plus opportunity to buy and sell up to 5 days (37hr)
• Contributory Pension Scheme (up to 10.5% company contribution)

• 6 times salary 'Life Assurance' with pension.
• Flexible Benefits scheme with extensive salary sacrifice schemes, including Health Cashplan, Dental, and Cycle to Work amongst others.
