** Why join Marshall in this role:
** This Project Management role is accountable and responsible for the day-to-day management and delivery of a project/bid of a size and complexity appropriate to a Marshall Project Manager, ensuring the timely delivery of requirements to agreed project timescales.

Working within an applied matrix organisation – in particular working in collaboration with the engineering, procurement, supply chain, and production departments – the role will foster and encourage the culture and operational effectiveness of Integrated Project Teams (IPTs).As a member of the Bids and Programmes job family, you will be expected to support an integrated – whole Marshall – Life Cycle Management Processes (LCM) and Business Management System (BMS) and bring your experience and knowledge to support the wider team.

Joining Marshall Land Systems in this Project Management role is an opportunity to contribute to an organisation with a proud heritage of engineering and innovation within the defence sector.

Marshall’s commitment to delivering complex, mission-critical projects in a collaborative, integrated project team (IPT) environment aligns perfectly with my passion for structured, cross-functional project delivery and continuous improvement.

This role offers the chance to manage full lifecycle projects within an applied matrix organisation, directly interfacing with engineering, procurement, supply chain, and production teams.

This is a very exciting time to us and the Project Management teams.

This role offers hybrid working and 3 days a week on site, maybe more if the project requires it.
