Project Planner (Mid-Life Upgrade), FAAM Airborne Laboratory
This role will be based at the FAAM Airborne Laboratory, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
Do you have experience in developing and executing successful multi-faceted projects? Are you a can-do organiser who enjoys the challenge of planning complex engineering and operational activities? Would you like to be at the heart of a team enabling the modernisation of an internationally leading atmospheric airborne laboratory? If so, we really want to hear from you!
The FAAM Airborne Laboratory is a unique, highly modified 4-engine jet aircraft adapted to carry a range of science instruments, supporting the UK atmospheric science community and data users. Managed by a team of scientists, engineers, flight technicians, and project managers, it offers comprehensive support for scientific research. The Facility is supported by the NCAS and funded by NERC, serving as a vital environmental research infrastructure.
The Mid-Life Upgrade (MLU) Programme aims to deliver upgrades to extend the aircraft’s operational life to 2040, meeting the needs of UK researchers, the Met Office, government bodies, and international partners.
As the MLU Project Planner, you will manage the development and delivery of projects, working closely with the MLU Director, Project Manager, activity leads, and stakeholders to plan, schedule, and review tasks. Strong problem-solving, organizational, communication, and negotiation skills are essential, especially in engaging with technical and operational stakeholders.
This role offers a unique opportunity to support atmospheric science research directly, including flying on and supporting the aircraft's operations, and working alongside leading scientists. Join our team and contribute to cutting-edge climate change science!
This position is employed by the University of Leeds but based at the FAAM Airborne Laboratory on the Cranfield University campus in Bedfordshire.
