Senior / Associate Project Manager Defence

Important: Before applying, due to the sensitive nature of these projects, you must be a SOLE UK National who is able to achieve and maintain UK MoD Security Clearance (SC). See Security Clearance Section.

Already holding SC Clearance is desirable however we advise that if you feel you would be a great candidate for this role, please apply.

About Us: 

Turner & Townsend’s Defence South East Cost Centre provides support to Defence projects and programmes that range in complexity and size. Our service offering includes programme & project management, controls & performance management, cost management and procurement.

We are actively looking to expand the Defence South East team due to client requirements; we’re looking for talented individuals to join us to support the delivery of our growing client portfolio. These individuals should expect to further develop their careers through working on a range of complex and challenging commissions, whilst being part of an engaging and high performing team.

Role Overview and Purpose: 

We are looking for experienced project managers to play a key role in delivering high-profile projects across the Defence Sector. As part of our growing team, you will work on complex, large-scale programmes, helping our clients to overcome challenges and achieve their objectives.

Based in our London office, you will collaborate with colleagues and clients across the South of England, balancing remote, office-based, and on-site working.

Owing to the nature of our business and our diverse portfolio of clients, no two roles are the same and we encourage candidates with different backgrounds, skills and experiences to apply.

Working Location:

Turner & Townsend recognise the importance of helping its employees harmonise their work and home life by offering hybrid working, enabling them to balance their working life with other priorities. At the same time, T&T recognises that employee office and site attendance must always remain in line with the demands of the business and clients. Currently, we anticipate you being on client sites or Turner & Townsend offices 60% of your time (~3 days a week), but this may flex depending on client and business requirements. The office is not the only place work gets done, but it is increasingly important for teams to be stronger together by learning, collaborating, and creating amazing work together.

About you:

As a candidate for this role, you will not only have project management experience built from a career in the Defence Sector (or a similar, relevant sector), but you will also want to be part of a high-functioning team focussed on delivering world-class outcomes to our ever-growing network of Defence clients.

The Defence South East Cost Centre is looking for the right people to join our team; if you do not fulfil 100% of the advert but think you can add value to our teams and clients please apply or reach out to the recruiter for a discussion.
