Defence Project Manager
Bristol | Up to 3 days per week onsite at MOD Abbey Wood
Multiple vacancies | MOD Levels 2 and 3
We are recruiting multiple Project Managers to support project delivery within a complex UK defence environment.
These are delivery-focused Project Manager roles. We need people who can demonstrate genuine ownership of defence projects, work packages or control accounts rather than PMO administration, specialist Project Controls work or general stakeholder coordination.
Essential requirements
Before applying, please check that you meet the following requirements:
- You must have substantive defence project management experience
- You must hold sole British nationality due to the security requirements attached to this work. Dual nationals cannot be considered
- You must be able to attend MOD Abbey Wood in Bristol up to 3 days every week
- You must live within a genuinely sustainable commuting distance of Bristol
- You must previously have held UK Security Check (SC) clearance
- You must hold a recognised project management qualification
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Current valid SC clearance is preferred although previous SC is acceptable under the role requirements.
What you will be doing
Depending on level, you will take responsibility for an MOD project, work package, control account or defined element of a larger defence project.
Your work will include:
- Managing delivery against agreed objectives, milestones and deliverables
- Monitoring project performance across scope, cost and schedule
- Managing risks, issues, dependencies and change
- Working within formal governance, reporting and assurance arrangements
- Coordinating multidisciplinary stakeholders across customer, supplier and functional teams
- Using project performance information to identify variance and support corrective action

What we are looking for
For Level 3 positions, we are particularly interested in established Project Managers who can demonstrate clear accountability for delivery decisions, customer relationships, project performance and cross-functional dependencies.
Level 2 candidates should still show genuine practitioner-level ownership of a simple project, work package, control account or clearly defined delivery area.
APM PMQ is particularly desirable for Level 3 applicants. Direct MOD or DE&S project delivery experience and familiarity with defence acquisition environments would also be beneficial.
If your background matches the essential requirements above, apply with your CV for consideration.
