Project Manager (Submarines) | Defence & Maritime | £55,000 - £65,000 + Bonus (Up to 15K) | Based Bristol (4 Days Onsite 1 Day Home)
If you can lead complex defence projects without losing sight of the commercial picture — we want to speak with you.
One of the UK’s most respected defence consultancies is growing their project delivery team. They need a sharp, delivery-focused Project Manager with real-world experience in Submarines or wider Naval programmes.
The role is high-impact. You'll be the connective tissue between client expectations, delivery schedules, and engineering outputs — managing risk, cost, and communication across the lifecycle.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Leading complex Submarine projects from concept to closeout.
* Managing stakeholders across MoD, DE&S, Royal Navy, and Tier 1 suppliers.
* Creating structured project plans that balance technical rigour and commercial pace.
* Owning budgets, risk registers, and change control like a pro.
* Driving delivery across matrix teams (engineering, supply chain, commercial, etc).
What You’ll Need:
* Experience delivering within UK Defence, ideally on Submarines, Naval Ships, or Underwater Systems.
* Solid understanding of Defence procurement routes (DE&S, JSPs, CADMID).
* Proven stakeholder management skills — client-facing, supplier-facing, internal teams.
* APM, PRINCE2 or similar certs are a bonus (but not a dealbreaker).
* SC clearance (or eligible) is essential.
Why It’s Worth a Conversation:
* Real career progression across a fast-growing, specialist team.
* Flexible, hybrid setup based out of Bristol HQ.
* Projects with purpose — supporting national security and innovation at sea.
