The programme
Over four years, you’ll get to know our business while developing practical knowledge of project management techniques, tools and methodologies. Completing a series of placements, you’ll experience different parts of our Defence business. Each placement will generally last six months to give you a real understanding of the area you’re experiencing as well as the project you’re working on.
Through it all, you’ll develop invaluable experience of world-class tools and processes, while learning from supportive professionals. Alongside this, you’ll as you work towards a BA (Hons) in a Project Management discipline with the University of Cumbria. This is mostly completed remotely through distance learning combined with on-site sessions around three times a year. Plus, a professional qualification recognised by the Association of Project Management (APM).
What you’ll do
Your placements will take you to a variety of areas within our business. The ability to plan with integrated teams, manage risk and use data analysis to control and manage your project will become second nature – you’ll be able to plan for every eventuality. Your work might include introducing new products or services, developing new facilities, or looking at the infrastructure for IT projects.

Every bit as important as your academic achievements, however, are the personal qualities you bring to the role. We’re look for fast learners who are motivated to develop a career in project management.
Beyond that, you’ll have great communication and team working skills as well as leadership potential. Attention to detail and organisational skills are also important.
Our behaviours drive us - we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. We’ll expect that of you, too.
