As a hub of freethinking, and innovation, HMGCC is an exciting, creative place to work for both beginners and experts. It’s a place where ideas, advice and knowledge is shared, and where you’ll discover opportunities to broaden your mind every day.
We’re always seeking to unlock potential, whether that’s in our technology or our people. It’s why we offer a wide range of events, activities, sports and social clubs throughout the year, meaning you can meet and engage with people across the whole organisation.
To promote our culture of learning and development across the site, foster our culture of technical innovation and deliver the most cutting edge technologies to our partners, we’re proud to have technologists. These include engineers with a specific brief to be both technical and thought leaders across the following areas:
They’re the go-to experts in their field, happy to impart their wisdom to any colleagues in need of information, knowledge or advice about their area.
You’ll also enjoy regular lunchtime talks. These interesting and informative talks keep everyone up to speed with innovation projects and success stories from around the site, as well as relevant and interesting external guest speakers.
Our family days are a great way to show your nearest and dearest where you work and what you do. Much more than simply a site visit, they can enjoy technology talks, treasure hunts and even try their hand at some challenges thought up by our engineers!
There are many ways to find like-minded people here at HMGCC. In fact, we have a range of active, unique societies that cater for different hobbies and interests. Some of our current groups include:
We present corporate awards to recognise those people who have gone above and beyond. We have a broad range of categories, such as:
There are loads of fun social events to enjoy throughout the year, including:
We’re always looking for the future champions of cyber security. The Cyber Security Challenge UK, a series of national competitions and initiatives designed to identify, inspire and enable people to become cyber security professionals.
Cyber security contains a diverse collection of disciplines across a broad spectrum of skills. You don’t necessarily need to be technical to be part of the industry; common sense, logic and the ability to identify and understand risk are all valuable assets. Above all, you’ll possess the ability to “think the unthinkable” and generally pursue the end goal at all costs!
Why not give some of our past challenges a go?
We host an annual technology fair. All our staff are invited to attend, along with other government departments. It’s an excellent opportunity to see the latest tech that’s available, and a great chance to network with exhibitors and other departments.
A chance to see who the best of the best are across all government departments – not just HMGCC. Beginner coders can also get involved, as it provides great mentoring opportunities.
