Are you ready to take charge of critical infrastructure projects supporting the UK’s Defence operations? Do you have a passion for leadership, problem-solving, and delivering high-quality works that really make a difference?
At VIVO Defence Services, we’re looking for an ambitious and experienced Project Manager to oversee the successful delivery of our Billable Works programme. You'll be joining a high-impact team at the heart of MOD estate improvements—transforming spaces that directly support our armed forces.
About the role:
As Project Manager, you’ll lead multi-disciplinary teams to deliver projects on time, within budget, and to exceptional standards. You’ll collaborate with stakeholders across the MOD, DIO, and site operations to ensure each project is scoped, planned, and executed effectively. With a firm focus on safety, compliance, and sustainability, your leadership will help drive high performance and real results on the ground.
You’ll be expected to navigate the complexities of defence environments, manage costs and risks smartly, and keep all parties aligned through clear, confident communication. From planning and supervision to site operations and stakeholder engagement, you’ll play a crucial role in building smarter, more resilient infrastructure across the estate.
What you’ll need;
The ideal candidate will hold an HNC or equivalent qualification in Building/Civil Engineering, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline, supported by relevant experience and a commitment to Continuing Professional Development. They will bring solid project management expertise within the construction sector, including experience across new builds, refurbishments, maintenance, and M&E works.
Chartered membership with professional bodies such as CIOB or RICS is highly desirable, as is hands-on site project management experience. A strong working knowledge of health and safety practices is essential, including Asbestos Awareness and IOSH Managing Safely, with additional qualifications such as Legionella Control (L8) and SMSTS certification considered advantageous.
The candidate should also demonstrate good numeracy, literacy, and IT proficiency, particularly in Microsoft Office, and possess a working understanding of project delivery aligned with RIBA stages
We’d love it if you’ve already worked on MOD sites or are familiar with NEC3 contracts, and if you hold additional training in areas such as asbestos or legionella management. Professional body membership, such as APM Associate status, is a bonus too.
At VIVO, you’ll be part of a mission that truly matters. You’ll work alongside a dynamic, collaborative team, with the opportunity to influence real change and deliver projects that support national defence capabilities. We offer ongoing professional development, a supportive environment, and the chance to lead meaningful work with purpose.
Ready to build a better future for those who protect ours? Apply now and become a key force behind the infrastructure that powers UK Defence.
