Depending on your specialism and assignment, you may be responsible for:
* Coordinating activity across engineering, project management, commercial, finance, project controls, operations, supply chain, technical support, suppliers and military customers.

* Monitoring scope, schedule, cost, resources and performance, using data to identify trends and support timely decisions.
* Managing risks, issues, opportunities, assumptions and dependencies.
* Maintaining effective governance, reporting and assurance in accordance with MoD policy, DE&S processes and contractual requirements.
* Producing and maintaining plans, records, business cases, statements of work, support documentation and reports.
* Building productive relationships with customers, suppliers and senior stakeholders.
* Identifying opportunities to improve delivery, compliance and value for money.

* Good judgement and the ability to maintain delivery when requirements or priorities change.
* Clear written and verbal communication skills, including producing plans, reports and supporting documentation.
