Opportunity for Veterans - Step into a Meaningful Civilian Role

We're supporting a specialist communications and engineering company that works closely with defence clients, particularly across maritime and MOD environments. They are actively looking for ex-Forces candidates to join their team as a Project Manager, focusing on the delivery of technical projects on UK Government and Royal Navy vessels.

The business has a strong track record of hiring from the military community and is especially keen to bring in someone who understands how defence operations run, whether that's from a Royal Navy, Royal Signals, REME, or similar background.

The Role

As a Marine Project Manager, you'll take ownership of various installation and upgrade projects across government-owned vessels. You'll coordinate with engineers, suppliers, and key defence stakeholders to ensure work is delivered on time, to budget, and within scope.

This is a great fit for someone used to managing technical tasks, people, or equipment in high-pressure environments.

Project Manager Key Responsibilities:

• Lead multiple technical installation projects on maritime platforms
• Coordinate suppliers, engineers, and client stakeholders
• Produce and manage documentation including installation plans and modification instructions
• Oversee internal reporting, risk tracking, and project governance
• Support continuous improvement across the project delivery function
• Represent the business in client meetings and technical discussions

Project Manager Requirements:

• Veterans with leadership, planning, or delivery experience
• Background in defence, maritime, communications, or engineering preferred
• Excellent stakeholder management and organisational skills
• Knowledge of MOD processes or military environments
• Comfortable working from the Redhill site (with some flexibility)
• SATCOM or comms system experience is useful but not essential

Why This Role is Ideal for Ex-Forces Personnel:

• Your military experience is highly relevant and genuinely valued
• You'll be working with like-minded people who understand your background
• The projects directly support national security and operational effectiveness
• Structured onboarding and long-term development available
