Why apply?

• Work on nationally significant, long-term defence programmes
• Join a high-calibre team embedded in client organisations
• Access structured career progression and professional development
• Hybrid working with flexibility depending on project stage

If you’re a commercially astute procurement professional with the credentials to deliver in a secure, mission-critical environment, we’d love to hear from you.
