What We Do: (Omnia Training)

At Omnia Training, we’ve brought together some of the UK’s most innovative defence training organisations under one powerful mission: to transform the British Army’s training system and create the best-trained Army in the world.

Omnia Training is redefining the British Army’s collective training. To do that, we are looking for the best and brightest minds from across the UK. Omnia Training is at the heart of the UK’s bold Land Industrial Strategy.

This is more than a job — it’s a mission. You will be part of a high-impact, collaborative environment, where every person in our team plays a critical role in delivering Omnia Training’s vision; designing, delivering, and transforming collective training.

MPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

This role is based full-time onsite in Warminster, Wiltshire. You will be required to work from the Warminster site five days per week. This is not a hybrid or remote role, and we cannot accommodate candidates who are only able to attend the site for part of the working week.

Security Clearance (SC) is a mandatory requirement for this role. To be considered, you must have been resident in the UK for the last five years and be eligible to obtain UK Security Clearance. If you do not meet this residency requirement, we will not be able to progress your application.

Please only apply if you meet both of these requirements: five days per week onsite in Warminster, Wiltshire, and five years’ UK residency for SC clearance.

What We Are Looking For: 

This is not a traditional QA role. You will own verification, validation, and assurance across models and integrated simulation systems, acting as the authority on whether systems are fit for use.

• Highly analytical and structured.

• Independent and evidence-based.

• Willing to challenge assumptions and push back when required.

• Strong attention to detail without losing sight of overall system behaviour.

• Clear communicator, able to present findings credibly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Comfortable operating in assurance-heavy and regulated environments.

• Comfortable making and defending decisions about system credibility and fitness-for-purpose

Key Technical Proficiencies:

• Strong understanding of VV&A principles and frameworks as well as model and system validation approaches.

• Experience in validating simulation models, assessing fitness-for-purpose and producing structured validation evidence.

• Expert in test planning and execution, as well as functional, integrated and regression testing.

• Ability to validate behavioural correctness, effects and interactions and timing and responsiveness.

• Experience integrating documentation into governed systems.

• Familiarity with Defence and M&S standards such as JSP 939, NATO VV&A guidance, and relevant FOMs (e.g. RPR-FOM, NETN-FOM) is desirable.

• Experience producing structured documentation and evidence aligned to regulated environments.

• Experience integrating validation outputs into governed systems, including linking validation status and evidence to versioned artefacts.

• Experience with tooling to support testing and validation (e.g. automated test frameworks, data analysis tools, scripting in Python) is desirable.

What You’ll Be Responsible For: 

• Own verification, validation and assurance (VV&A) across models, simulation components, and integrated training systems, and supporting data.

• Define and maintain test and validation strategy aligned to training needs, customer requirements, system capabilities, and exercise design intent..

• Design and execute functional and integration tests and scenario based validation exercises.

• Validate models against authoritative data sources, SME expectations and expected behaviours.

• Assess model fidelity and realism, behavioural correctness, and system performance under realistic conditions.

• Validate end-to-end system behaviour, including cross-system interactions, data flows, timing, and consistency.

• Support authority-led validation, acceptance, and accreditation activities.

• Produce test plans, validation reports and evidence packs for customer review.

• Ensure validation outcomes are recorded, traceable, and linked to content and system versions.

• Provide clear, defensible evidence based commitments on whether systems are fit for training use.

Note: Please feel empowered to apply for this position, even if you think you may only align with some of the qualities listed above. Your unique skills and perspectives could be just what we’re looking for.
