Cloud Engineers (DV Security Clearance)
Position Description
CGI was recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and named one of the World’s Best Employers by Forbes. We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, and a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching), making you a member, not just an employee.
We are committed to inclusivity and building a genuinely diverse community of tech talent. We proudly hold a Gold Award for our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant.
The Space, Defence and Intelligence (SDI) business unit is a true IT Systems Integrator.

Our roles are only available if you hold a UK Security Clearance and are a sole UK National due to the secure nature of the project. You will either hold a higher level clearance or be willing to obtain it.
