Job description

Project Manager
£40,000 – £64,000 depending on role and experience
Hybrid working, typically 2-3 days per week on site

We are recruiting Project Managers for a variety of opportunities within a large and complex defence engineering environment.

The work spans both core programme delivery and new business Project Management. This creates opportunities for Project Managers with strengths across delivery, engineering programmes, bids, business winning, customer engagement or a combination of these areas.

Essential eligibility
British Citizen or dual UK national with British citizenship
Able to obtain and maintain UK Security Check (SC) clearance
Previous Project or Programme Management experience
Strong communication and stakeholder management capability
Experience working within complex projects, programmes or organisations
Relevant experience across the opportunities includes:
Managing projects across cost, schedule and risk
Budget and cost control
Earned Value Management (EVM)
Schedule management and schedule risk
Leading multidisciplinary or multi-functional teams
Engineering or product development environments
Bid, proposal or tender management
Bidding and estimating
Business case development
Contract acquisition or mobilisation
Customer-facing Project Management
Working across large internal and external stakeholder groups
Defence, aerospace, MOD or similarly complex regulated environments
Not every candidate will need all of the above.

For some of the positions, strong bidding, proposal or business-winning experience is particularly important. Others are centred on core delivery Project Management with responsibility across engineering activity, budgets, schedules, risk and stakeholder relationships.

Defence or aerospace experience is attractive for several of the opportunities but there is also scope to consider people from other sectors where the underlying Project Management experience, scale and complexity are strong.
