Project Administrator à Grande-Bretagne

Who we are

VIVO provides facilities management and accommodation maintenance for the UK military and its partners. VIVO embodies both experience and innovation.

What we do

We put our Customers and Families First. They are the driving force behind everything we do. We drive forward improvements for them to ensure the service they receive, whether reactive repairs or a major project, is completed safely and on time. In order to achieve this, we have 4 core values: open, caring, agile and collaborative. These are at the heart of everything we do.

Location: Candidates can be based from Fulwood Barracks, Dale Barracks, Weeton Barracks, Hightown Barracks or RAF Woodvale. This role will cover all sites.

Permanent, Full time

Salary: Competitive + Company car/Car allowance

As a Project Manager with VIVO Defence Services, you'll take ownership of delivering vital Billable Works projects across the Defence estate-projects that directly support those who serve. From the moment a requirement is identified through to completion, you'll be the driving force ensuring work is safe, compliant, efficient, and of the highest quality.

The Role

You'll lead the process from scope definition to final handover, working closely with DIO and MOD stakeholders to agree requirements, develop designs, and create robust tender packages. Collaborating with our commercial team, you'll manage the tender process, assess technical proposals, and ensure every solution offers genuine value for money while meeting operational needs. Your decisions will not only resolve complex end-user issues but also contribute to the MOD's carbon reduction and sustainability targets.

On site, you'll monitor contractors closely-making sure only suitably qualified and experienced personnel are deployed, that Risk Assessments and Method Statements meet the highest standards, and that all activities comply with Health, Safety, and Environmental policies. You'll keep a watchful eye on progress, performance, and quality, intervening early to keep projects on track and stakeholders informed.

Financial control will be a core part of your role. You'll manage costs with precision, align work plans and budgets to programme and operational priorities, and keep risks in check through proactive mitigation strategies. Every step of the way, you'll ensure documentation is accurate, timely, and properly recorded in our systems, including Maximo and SharePoint.

What You'll Bring

Your success will hinge on a strong background in project management-managing contractors, controlling budgets, coordinating multiple priorities, and overseeing safe systems of work.

You'll bring experience of supervising site operations, excellent stakeholder management skills, and the ability to solve problems decisively under pressure. With a qualification in Building, Civil, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering-or equivalent experience-paired with an H&S management qualification such as SMSTS, you'll have the technical credibility to lead confidently and effectively.

If you're ready to combine operational leadership with a commitment to safety, sustainability, and delivering real value, this is your chance to work on projects that matter-both to the Defence community and the nation.

What We Offer

• 25 days annual leave
• 6% employee matched pension contribution
• Company car/car allowance
• Single private medical cover
• Life assurance 2x annual salary
