We provide our clients with professional services, specialised aerospace and defence sales, delivery, and operational subject matter expertise. We are looking for personnel to join our team and support key client projects. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Who we are supporting  The NATO Joint Warfare Centre (JWC) is a NATO establishment focused on improving the Alliance's operational capabilities through training and exercises. Located in Stavanger, Norway, the JWC plays a critical role in preparing NATO forces for future challenges by: * Training and Exercises * Conducting large-scale, joint operational-level training events, simulations, and exercises to enhance interoperability among NATO member nations. * Doctrine Development * Contributing to the development and refinement of NATO doctrines and concepts by providing feedback and insights from exercises and training activities. * Operational Support * Offering expert support to NATO operations, missions, and exercises, ensuring that lessons learned are integrated into future training and planning.  The JWC supports NATO's overall strategic objectives by ensuring that its forces are well-prepared and capable of responding to various global threats and challenges. The program  To deliver each full exercise cycle the JWC relies heavily on an Exercise Control (EXCON) structure. EXCON staff members are drawn from several backgrounds and units including JWC staff, NATO component commands, Training Audience (TA) Headquarters, Partner Nations and other augmenters’ positions. EXCON has both direction and control functions which allow it to establish the conditions needed by the TA to achieve the exercise aim and objectives. EXCON size and structure is flexible and is shaped to the requirement of each phase of exercise delivery. When it is not possible to fill a position from military sources, the JWC has the option to source a contractor to fill a position. Not all contracted positions are required for each phase of each exercise. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Role Background The Intelligence (INTEL) support area simulates the NIFC (NATO Intelligence Fusion Centre). NIFC supports the exercise execution with full-spectrum, multi-domain operational and strategic intelligence, which is enabled by a wide range of intelligence disciplines, simulated national collection capabilities, and relevant subject matter expertise.
