Capital Projects Services - Manager - Defence

About The Role

Our Capital Project Services (CPS) team consists of a range of talented multi-disciplined professionals who have a background in delivery of capital projects across a range of sectors, including Aerospace and Defence. We support our clients in securing optimum value from their projects or business and provide the expertise they require to navigate challenging, complex situations. We design and deliver transformative approaches across a wide range of industries, working closely with the senior leaders of major businesses to optimise the efficiency of their capital programmes. Our team supports them to deliver their intended benefits and provide expertise to clients who strive to deliver projects within constrained budgets or supporting them through challenging situations. Our clients value the diverse range of experiences that our people bring. We are a proactive team, primarily from project management, engineering or procurement backgrounds, but we’re open to other industries and experiences and the value that can bring. Private and/or public sector defence experience is highly valued, but not essential. Due to the nature of the role, candidates must currently hold or be willing to undergo SC/DV clearance.
