Full job description

Amentum is a global leader in engineering, project and programme management, and solutions integration. Founded on programme, project, and engineering experience—combined with deep-seated specialist capabilities—Amentum has become a recognised delivery partner across major UK Government and commercial programmes.

Our Defence & Security business supports the UK Ministry of Defence in the delivery of their capabilities and objectives via a host of frameworks, not least the Project Delivery Partner framework, which sees us delivering Project Management, Project Controls, and Operational Delivery support across the land, sea, air, and corporate domains. The work we do is of international importance in ensuring our national security and that of our allies—something our team is proud to support. The framework enables our employees to traverse a range of innovative programmes and projects, which challenge them and ensure they develop their skills to the highest levels. The support structures we have in place ensure our employee welfare and career development are achieved to the highest standards.

People are our greatest asset, and we offer a competitive package to retain and attract the best talent. In addition to the benefits you would expect, UK employees also receive free single medical cover and a digital GP service; family-friendly benefits such as enhanced parental leave pay and free membership of employee assistance and parental programmes; plus reimbursement towards relevant professional development and memberships. We also give back to our communities through programmes that incorporate matched funding, paid volunteering time, and charitable donations.

About the Opportunity:

We are seeking enthusiastic Project Managers with a strong track record of delivering infrastructure and built environment projects within the defence sector to join our expanding team. In this role, you will play a key part in supporting clients across complex, security-sensitive programmes, contributing to the planning, coordination, and execution of critical defence infrastructure initiatives.

You will bring experience operating within highly regulated environments, with a clear understanding of the governance, assurance, and delivery challenges associated with defence estates and secure facilities. Working closely with stakeholders across government and industry, you will help enable the successful delivery of strategically important programmes that underpin national capability and operational readiness.

This role is focused across the North of the country, offering the opportunity to work on a diverse portfolio of defence infrastructure projects in locations including Manchester, Cumbria, the North East and beyond.

When deployed, you’ll spend the majority of your week on client sites, giving you direct exposure to high-profile programmes and the opportunity to work alongside key stakeholders at the heart of delivery. When project demands allow, you will also benefit from hybrid and remote working flexibility.

Travel across the region is a core part of the role, providing variety and the chance to contribute to a range of impactful and strategically important programmes. Occasional overnight stays may be required.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Understand, and deliver in accordance with, organisational policies, processes, and procedures.
Support the development and assurance of business cases as part of wider approval processes.
Analyse, develop, support, and manage the timely and cost-effective delivery of client projects, meeting business and environmental objectives.
Influence, support, and expedite client project delivery through effective planning, monitoring, controlling, and reporting of project performance.
Identify and effectively manage project assumptions and dependencies.
Support identification of slippage and risk, and implement remedial or mitigating actions, ensuring compliance with all relevant safety, environmental, and management procedures.
Champion the application of appropriate programme and project delivery strategies and commercial vehicles to secure successful business outcomes.
Ensure appropriate services to the project are coordinated and delivered through technical, engineering, project controls, commercial, and financial support functions.
Maintain project records, information, and history accurately and in line with policy.
Ensure learning from experience is captured and apply continuous improvement techniques to project delivery.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Significant track record of successfully delivering projects in line with time, cost, and quality constraints.
Ability to operate autonomously, with authority, and skilled in developing and maintaining key relationships.
Consultancy focus with a proven history of identifying and delivering client requirements, and the ability to scope wider business opportunities.
Expertise in P3M practices, methodologies, and techniques, and their appropriate application to varied environments.
Highly skilled in the provision of coaching and mentoring.
Ability and willingness to attain security clearance, which includes being resident in the UK for the preceding 5 years.

Desirable Skills and Qualifications:

Educated to degree level or equivalent in a relevant subject.
APM PFQ/PMQ qualification.
Strong knowledge of the Defence industry and experience working in a high-profile Tier 1, Prime, and/or subcontractor organisation.
Membership of the Association for Project Management (MAPM) is advantageous.
PRINCE2 or Agile Practitioner qualification.
Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) Practitioner (desirable but not essential).

What’s in It for You:

Competitive salary and benefits package, with unrivalled salary sacrifice schemes available.
Free single medical cover and digital GP service.
Generous pension contributions.
Enhanced parental leave and family-friendly policies.
Professional development support and membership reimbursement.
Access to a flexible benefits programme tailored to your needs, including buying or selling up to 10 days’ extra holiday.
Hybrid and flexible working options to support work–life balance.
