What We Are Looking For
At OMNIA Training, we’ve brought together some of the UK’s most innovative defence training organisations into a single consortium to deliver one powerful mission: to transform the British Army’s training system and create the best-trained Army in the world.
OMNIA Training will redefine the British Army’s collective training, standing up as the Army’s Strategic Training Partner. To do that, we are looking for the best and brightest minds from across the UK. We are backed by British innovation and powered by world-class experts, like you.
OMNIA Training is primed by Raytheon UK, but all five partners (Raytheon, Rheinmetall, Capita, Skyral, and Cervus) are key to delivering the scope of the contract.
This is more than a job — it’s a mission. You will be part of a high-impact, collaborative environment, where we expect everyone to live the values and standards of the British Army. Every person in our team plays a critical role in delivering OMNIA Training’s vision; designing, delivering, and transforming collective training so the British Army is ready to fight and win.
The Role
This role is the Integrated Test, Evaluation and Acceptance (ITEA) and Trials Engineer, who is responsible for assigned OMNIA ITEA and Trials activities on behalf of the Configuring Service.

You will assist in the planning, coordination, and execution of structured testing and trials as part of the Verification, Trial, and Experimentation Plan (VTEP). Your work will help confirm that solutions meet defined capability and integration requirements. This role offers the opportunity to work within advanced test environments and collaborate with engineering, acquisition, and operational teams across Defence. You will play an important part in validating capability performance, supporting system interoperability, and ensuring readiness for service across next-generation simulation training systems.
