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.
