Working pattern: Hybrid - 3 days in the office, 2 days working from home
We’re looking for a Project Manager to oversee delivery across all subcontracts supporting a major British Army training programme. Reporting to the Programme Director, you’ll ensure each subcontract delivers to its agreed scope, budget, schedule and performance requirements.
You’ll bring together subcontractors and internal teams, coordinate delivery plans, manage dependencies and resolve issues to keep the wider programme on track.
This role combines project management with commercial oversight, taking responsibility for subcontract delivery from initial requirements through to completion.
What you’ll do
- Lead the planning, coordination and delivery of all subcontracts, ensuring they support the programme’s objectives and milestones.
- Work with subcontractors to agree clear requirements, deliverables, schedules and measures of success.
- Track progress against scope, cost, schedule and performance commitments, driving corrective action where needed.
- Manage risks, issues, changes and dependencies across subcontracts, escalating matters that could affect programme delivery.
- Chair progress reviews and provide clear reporting to the Programme Director and wider stakeholders.
- Coordinate technical, commercial and operational colleagues to resolve problems and keep delivery moving.
- Support requests for proposals and quotations, assess responses and lead negotiations on terms, pricing and delivery commitments.
- Review invoices against agreed milestones, manage supplier NDAs and advise colleagues on subcontract matters.
- Oversee export obligations in line with end-user certificates and applicable ITAR/TAA requirements.
What you’ll bring
- Strong experience managing complex projects or subcontracted work packages within a defence environment.
- A track record of coordinating multiple delivery partners and achieving agreed cost, schedule and performance outcomes.
- Confidence managing project plans, budgets, risks, dependencies and change.
- The ability to hold subcontractors accountable while building productive working relationships.
- Strong communication, negotiation and problem-solving skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders across different disciplines.
- Commercial awareness and an understanding of subcontract terms, performance management and export obligations.
- A collaborative, organised approach and the resilience to manage competing priorities.
A project management qualification or MCIPS would be an advantage. A military background is not required.
If you’re motivated by bringing complex projects together and want to help shape the future of British Army training, we’d like to hear from you.
