We are looking for engineering candidates to fill a number of roles within our Ships Domain, working within either our engineering or logistics functions.

DE&S manage complex projects that equip and support the UK’s Armed Forces.

We are headquartered in Bristol and employ around 11,500 staff. Over the next ten years we will deliver an equipment and support programme of approximately £157 billion to the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force.

The breadth and depth of what we do means a career with us gives you a fantastic level of variety, challenge and career development. Not to mention the generous pension & fantastic flexible working options!

You could be working on the project delivery of equipment and services across any of our business areas - Land, Maritime, Air, Joint Enablers or Corporate functions. Projects could be as diverse as developing the nation’s future submarines, the procurement of fast jets or armoured vehicles and managing the delivery of food, vehicles and clothing to where they are needed.

As part of this role you will:

- Design, plan and implement projects, managing your team, to ensure projects are delivered on time, to cost and performance.

- Document scope, identify risks / opportunities / issues as well as prepare and manage schedules and resources. You will ensure dependencies are always accounted for and manage requirements, budgets and quality requirements as necessary

- Make difficult decisions using complex and at times conflicting information that impact on the tasks and activities of others, managing resources to reflect customer demand and internal deadlines.

- Coach and develop your team as required, adapting your leadership style to the requirements of individual team members, overcoming obstacles and utilising effective stakeholder engagement to support the delivery of successful projects

To be considered for this role you will have experience in:

- Delivering projects in a project environment, to time, cost and performance

- Managing Risk, Scheduling, Budgeting/Cost Control and Scope management

- Developing and managing teams to deliver successful outcomes

- Managing a wide range of stakeholders, interacting confidently and effectively as an intelligent and highly credible customer and/or supplier

- Establishing and maintaining governance arrangements for the delivery of projects

- Experience of working in an organisational environment of transformation and on-going change would be beneficial

You must have a Project Management qualification such as APMP, Prince 2 Practitioner, or equivalent. DE&S holds corporate accreditation from the Association for Project Management (APM), demonstrating our commitment to externally recognised professional standards.

DE&S offers exemplary learning and development opportunities; we encourage continued professional development, including the chance to obtain further project management qualifications to develop your career.

The advertised grade and role title may change as part of organisational transformation in DE&S, as we introduce greater focus on role profiles and levels of professional skill. Successful candidates will be notified, by their function management team, of this in more detail when on boarding into DE&S. Please note that this will not affect the opportunities for recruitment nor the salary you join DE&S on.

We get an immense personal pride from being the force behind our Armed Forces and we believe you’ll love working at DE&S too.
