Lead Project Planner
Reference: 00019107
There are some engineering projects that will transform your career. Projects that will push the boundaries and set new standards of excellence. We can offer the chance to work on two of them: the Queen Elizabeth Class of aircraft carrier and the Type 26 Global Combat Ship.
Both are hugely complex and innovative undertakings that will form the backbone of the Royal Navy for decades to come. And both call for a whole range of specialist skills spanning a range of functions from Project Management to Engineering.
While marine experience is clearly a plus, many of our team have brought transferrable skills from other sectors. For us, high levels of technical expertise and personal drive are always the most important qualities. If you can bring that, this could be your chance to make history with us.
