Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment and have a knack for managing multi-disciplinary teams? As a Programme Manager, you will have the primary responsibility for overseeing the Warminster Project Team. You will manage a diverse range of projects from inception to completion and handover.

Your role will involve managing a team of multi-disciplinary staff, ensuring adherence to the master programme, and effectively communicating progress against the baseline.
