Work on Technology That Protects What Matters

At SiXworks, we build secure digital solutions that support Defence and National Security missions. Our teams work on complex problems where reliability, security, and speed of innovation matter.

We’re looking for a Support Engineer who enjoys solving difficult technical challenges and wants their work to have real operational impact.

What You’ll Do

As a Support Engineer, you’ll support our team to design, build, and deliver secure digital solutions in highly secure environments. You’ll work alongside engineers, architects, and delivery specialists to develop technology that enables faster, safer decision-making for critical operations.

Your work may include:

  • Providing basic 1st/2nd line support for our environments, services and infrastructure. Escalate to 3rd line for complex issues.
  • End user support (desk-side and remote).

  • Ensure incident tickets are appropriately updated and maintained, and fed into the major incident process where necessary.
  • Ensure incident resolutions are appropriately documented in the ticketing system and wider knowledge base.
  • Occasional travel to remote sites may be required.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
