Project Manager (Submarines) | Defence & Maritime | £60,000 - £65,000 + Bonus | Based Bristol 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.

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: * £55,000 – £60,000 salary + performance bonus. * 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. 📩 Apply now or DM me for a confidential chat.
