About the role

We are seeking a technically rigorous, operationally disciplined Delivery Project Manager to join our growing team working at the forefront of space technology.

In this role you will own programme delivery from baseline to closure — schedule, cost, technical execution, subcontractor management and delivery risk — across complex programmes spanning satellite services, bespoke delivery and government and defence contracts. You will keep programmes on track and ensure that the business always has the programme intelligence needed to manage customers and contracts with accuracy and confidence.

What You'll Do:

Planning & Schedule Control

  • Establish and maintain the programme baseline across scope, schedule, cost and quality, structured through the WBS, critical path and technical compliance, with all changes managed through formal change control
  • Own the cost performance picture by driving and challenging ETCs and actuals, interpreting EVM outputs and ensuring programme reporting reflects delivery reality
  • Drive a proactive risk culture across the programme, ensuring risks are surfaced early, assigned to the right owners and actively retired before they impact delivery or contract performance
  • Produce and maintain programme documentation, including schedule, risk register, action logs and technical review outputs, to the standard required for internal governance and contractual deliverables

Execution & Programme Coordination

  • Coordinate across engineering, MAIT and launch teams, managing dependencies, aligning resources and keeping cross-functional interfaces on track
  • Manage subcontractors, tracking performance to plan, managing technical interfaces and escalating delivery risks in time for commercial or contractual action
  • Drive internal technical reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR and equivalents) — coordinating timing
