About the Mission

BAE Systems is seeking an on-site System Administrator to support our work as a prime contractor on a high-profile U.S. Navy weapon system. This role is critical to maintaining the digital engineering environment for the U.S. Navy's Strategic Systems Programs (SSP), which has been the sole source partner for the sea-based Strategic Weapon System (SWS) since the 1950s.

The SWS is the first leg of the U.S. nuclear triad and the ultimate stealthy weapon system. With over 70% of the nation's nuclear arsenal, its importance to maintaining world peace cannot be overstated. The program is currently developing the Columbia submarine and the next D5LE2 weapon system, with projections for operational service through 2084. This unique program offers a total lifespan of more than 120 years, providing a legacy of stability and significant growth for capable individuals.

As a decades-long partner, BAE Systems employees on this program understand they are part of an important legacy. Working here means using your passion and ingenuity to defend national security with breakthrough technology, superior products, and intelligence solutions. You will continually hone your skills on a team making a big impact on a global scale.

About the Role

You will support a Microsoft Active Directory environment with day-to-day administration and analysis of Account Provisioning on a classified network. This position requires accuracy, integrity, subject matter expertise, and the ability to work well independently and with others.
