Engineers and Scientists – Counter Terrorism and Security Division

We’re the ENGINEERING behind the excellence.
The SCIENCE behind the security.
The BRAINS behind the best.

At Dstl, our Counter Terrorism and Security Division (CTS) has a huge impact. We use our expertise to provide exceptional security for the nation.

Whether you’re recognising patterns, developing surveillance systems, or detecting explosives, you’ll be using cutting-edge technology. In fact, you might even create ground-breaking systems and devices. And while the work might be complex, our motives are clear: we’re the engineering behind the excellence and the science behind the security.

And no matter how senior you are, there’s always room to take on more hands-on work. Plus, to keep you doing what you do best, you don’t need to take on extra management responsibilities if you don’t wish to. So when you join CTS, you won’t just contribute towards the bigger picture, you’ll realise your full potential as an engineer or scientist.

We’re always looking for people with unique backgrounds, a constant hunger for innovation and the ability to tackle problems from different angles.
