About the Role

We’re seeking a highly capable Project Support Officer (PSO) to join a dynamic delivery team supporting a major programme focused on the design and construction of a secure facility. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in complex, fast-paced environments and can bring structure and clarity to evolving programmes of work.

The successful candidate will demonstrate resilience, adaptability, and a proactive mindset - essential qualities for navigating a delivery landscape that is ambitious and occasionally fluid in nature.

  • Support programme reviews, milestone tracking, and performance reporting.
  • Engage with internal and external stakeholders to ensure alignment and delivery momentum.
  • Act as deputy to the Project Manager when required, contributing to leadership and decision-making.
  • Drive continuous improvement in delivery processes and project controls.

 

Essential Requirements

  • Active UK DV clearance (or very recently held).
  • Proven experience in project support or coordination roles, ideally within defence, government, or secure environments.
  • Strong organisational, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Familiarity with project management methodologies (e.g., PRINCE2, MSP, Agile).
  • Ability to operate independently and effectively in high-tempo, secure settings.

 

Desirable Experience

  • Background supporting MOD or defence-related programmes.
  • Understanding of defence delivery frameworks and secure facility programmes.
