From cutting edge defence technology to ground breaking innovations, our mission is to empower and protect lives. Join our Project Management Team at our Malvern site, where you will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology in partnership with some of the most brilliant minds.
The Roles:
As a Project Manager, Senior Project Manager or Programme Manager, you will join our National Security business, leading the delivery of complex, high-impact projects across cyber and secure government environments.

Day-to-day, you will be responsible for leading the successful delivery of projects to agreed baselines, developing strong customer relationships, supporting business growth opportunities and contributing to the achievement of business objectives. We are open to applications from experienced project professionals at different stages of their career and will provide opportunities for development and progression within our growing business.
We are also open to candidates who have worked within the National Security sector in adjacent or transferable roles and may not have held a formal Project or Programme Management position. If you have experience leading teams, running agile delivery sprints, managing operations, coordinating complex activities or engaging with customers and stakeholders, we'd be keen to hear how your skills could translate into a project management career at QinetiQ.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Leading the successful delivery of projects and programmes within agreed scope, schedule and budget
- Developing and maintaining positive relationships with customers, partners and suppliers
- Managing project performance, risks, opportunities and dependencies to achieve successful outcomes
