What’s your possible?

At Northrop Grumman UK, you are part of a team driving innovation where it matters most – solving tomorrow’s challenges and shaping the technology solutions of the future. It’s what we call Defining Possible.

This mindset goes beyond our customer solutions; it’s the foundation for your career development and the impact we have within the communities we serve.

The Opportunity

This is more than just a job; it’s a mission.

As a Project Support Officer, you will support the delivery of complex, mission-critical projects that contribute directly to the UK’s national security. Working within a collaborative project environment, you will help ensure projects are delivered in line with organisational strategy, standards, policies, and processes.

You will work closely with project managers, delivery teams, and key stakeholders, responding to dynamic project needs and supporting governance, reporting, and performance management. This is an excellent opportunity to build experience across high-profile programmes while developing your career within a leading defence and technology organisation.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Supporting the coordination, implementation, and delivery of projects in line with organisational standards and strategy
  • Organising and supporting engagements with internal and external stakeholders
  • Supporting project governance, performance management, reporting, and documentation
  • Assisting with forecasting and tracking of project costs, resources, and schedules
  • Scheduling, reviewing, and managing project artefacts to ensure quality and consistency
  • Capturing and tracking risks, issues, actions, and key performance metrics

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
