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

Customer-facing Project Management
Working across large internal and external stakeholder groups

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
