Project Manager, Bedford (Hybrid 3 days on site), £45-55k + great benefits (Enhanced pension / Private medical)

Are you a project manager with a few years of experience and would love to work for a defense / engineering company experiencing some fantastic projects at the heart of technology, research, manufacturing, Defence and design?

Don't worry - you don't need an engineering or related background. You just need to be an excellent project manager, organised, great communication skills and someone trusted to manage projects, be a key contact for the team.

This is a broad, hands-on role where you'll be responsible for coordinating project teams to deliver outcomes across a wider programme or portfolio. You'll act as the main point of contact for stakeholders, working closely with technical and resource leads to define requirements, shape business cases, and build clear, achievable plans. The role involves managing risks, schedules, and dependencies, ensuring projects are set up with a strong baseline and governed effectively through to delivery. You'll oversee progress, handle issues, and lead change where needed, while keeping communication structured and aligned to stakeholder needs. There's also an element of supporting bids, contributing to planning, estimating, and proposal development.

You'll bring a solid grounding in project delivery within a technical environment, with the ability to engage with complex subject matter, communicate clearly, and lead teams to deliver against time, cost, and quality expectations. A formal qualification helps, but proven experience and capability matter more.

If you want to join somewhere on a transformation program working on both internal and external projects, involved in bid management and be exposed to a new environment - please apply.

You will need to be eligible for Security Clearance (5 years UK residency)
