Own the Controls. Shape the Mission. Influence the Future.
If you’re a Project Controls Manager who thrives where complexity meets purpose, this is your opportunity to step into a role where your work directly strengthens national resilience. We’re supporting a major defence organisation on programmes that push the boundaries of technology—from advanced communications and secure networks to next-generation intelligence and mission systems.
This isn’t just another controls role. This is where your expertise becomes part of something bigger.
Why this role stands out
You’ll join an environment where precision matters and innovation thrives—a place where your insight isn’t just welcomed, it’s relied on. Your decisions will underpin projects that have genuine, tangible impact on the UK's defence capability.
Expect to work alongside technical leaders, seasoned delivery teams, and specialists across multi-domain platforms—land, sea, air, cyber—bringing clarity, structure, and strategic control to highly complex programmes.
What you’ll lead and deliver
In this role, you will be the guiding force behind project performance—driving truth, accuracy, and accountability across delivery. You will:
* Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing project controls function that sets the benchmark for best practice.
* Become a trusted advisor to stakeholders, partners, and suppliers—ensuring alignment, transparency, and smooth delivery through every phase.
* Define and protect the Performance Measurement Baseline, ensuring scope, schedule, and cost stay tightly integrated and under control.
* Lead and coordinate detailed scheduling, bringing together timelines from internal teams and specialist subcontractors.
* Champion cost control, change governance, risk and opportunity management, and ensure documentation remains complete, clear, and compliant.
* Implement and sustain Earned Value Management, transforming data into decision-ready intelligence that empowers senior leadership.
This is a role where your fingerprints will be on every stage of delivery.
What you’ll bring
We’re looking for someone who can balance the detail with the bigger picture—an individual who can navigate complexity with confidence and clarity.
You’ll need:
* Strong experience using industry-standard project controls toolsets (MSP / P6, RiskHive, SAP / ERP).
* Proven hands-on delivery experience on complex or major programmes, ideally in technically intensive or highly regulated environments.
* The communication skills to articulate complexity simply and credibly—whether influencing peers, supporting governance boards, or briefing senior stakeholders.
* A deep understanding of planning/scheduling, cost management, risk analysis, EVM, performance management, change control, and configuration control.
* A proactive, organised mindset with the ability to anticipate issues and design elegant, practical solutions.
