The role requires someone who can accurately plan the project work, support the team with achievable delivery schedules and be responsible for delivering programme changes and variations whilst managing our client’s expectations. This will mean that you will have conflicting demands and you will need to maintain a view on the bigger picture.

We will assess you against the following behaviours in the selection process:

• Developing self and others

We will assess you against the following technical skills:

• Experience of managing and delivering complex IT projects using agile techniques
• A working knowledge of network infrastructure, firewalls, VMware and security

This is a permanent opportunity, and your main base will be Farnborough.  Due to the nature of the work, we are unable to offer hybrid working.  You will need to travel to meet with key stakeholders and there may an opportunity for occasional overseas travel.

It is essential that you hold DV Security Clearance. You will need to be a sole UK National and have resided in the UK for the past 10 years. You can find out more about Security Clearances on the gov.uk website.
