Technical Project Manager x 3 Pitstone, Hertfordshire 55.00 - 65.00 per hour inside IR35 Description The Project Manager (Technical) is a key delivery role within the office. Rather than being permanently assigned to a single programme, PMs (Technical) are deployed flexibly across the portfolio by the Engineering Acceleration Manager - directed to where they are most needed at any given time, whether that is supporting an active development programme, managing a legacy or historic programme through to close-out, or contributing to PCE Office improvement initiatives. Tasked by the Senior Project Manager (SPM) of the assigned programme, the PM (Technical) takes ownership of defined Work Packages and is responsible for ensuring delivery within Quality, Cost, and Schedule (QCD) objectives. They serve as a core member of the Integrated Project Team (IPT), coordinating day-to-day project activities, managing risks, tracking actions, and maintaining project data. This role is designed both as a substantive delivery position and as a structured development pathway towards Senior Project Manager level. PMs (Technical) who demonstrate strong delivery capability and leadership potential will be supported to progress, with access to professional qualifications, mentoring, and cross-programme exposure. Some Key Responsibilities: 1. Project Organisation & Structuration 2. Project Support & Delivery 3. Planning, Scheduling & Reporting and Risk Management 4. Customer & Stakeholder Coordination 5. Legacy & Historic Project Management 6. Continuous Improvement 7. Compliance & Governance Essential Experience & Qualifications: Demonstrable experience in project management within an engineering environment, with a strong track record of delivering against QCD (Quality, Cost, Schedule) objectives. Practical experience applying project structuration frameworks equivalent to the Safran One Safran standard: PBS, WBS, OBS, RBS, and CBS - including creating and maintaining these structures collaboratively with project and functional teams. Experience developing and maintaining a Project Development Plan (PDP) or equivalent project reference document, covering development approach, team organisation, meeting rituals, decision-making, and applicable standards. Working knowledge of cost estimation methodologies (NRC/RC) and the ability to develop and converge bottom-up estimates against top-down programme targets. Experience in risk and opportunity management including planning activities: identifying customer Critical To Quality metrics, establishing project milestones, building development flowcharts, assessing margins, and maintaining mitigation plans. Experience leading or coordinating cross-functional project teams in a matrix organisation, with familiarity with Work Package management and multi-level scheduling architectures (master schedule to detailed Work Package schedule). Proficiency in project management methodologies and tools - planning, scheduling, cost structuring, monitoring, and control - in line with a stage-gate development lifecycle. Degree-level qualification in Engineering, Project Management, or a closely related discipline - or equivalent combination of education and demonstrable work experience. Skills: Delivery Focus: Gets things done. Tracks actions relentlessly, follows through on commitments, and drives progress without needing constant direction. Structured Planning: Brings rigour to scheduling and Work Package management. Creates clarity from complexity through well-maintained plans and trackers. Adaptability: Comfortable moving between programmes, priorities, and contexts. Embraces the flexible deployment model and thrives in a varied, fast-paced environment. Collaboration: A natural team player who builds effective working relationships across functions and sites; fosters an inclusive, supportive team culture. Communication: Clear and concise - both written and verbal. Able to present project status accurately to a range of audiences, and to coach others on effective communication. Problem Solving: Self-motivated with strong problem-solving and decision-making skills. Proactive in identifying issues and escalating with a recommended solution rather than the problem alone. Emotional Resilience: Able to work effectively against demanding targets in a complex, multi-disciplined environment, maintaining composure and focus under pressure. Autonomy: Able to organise activity, manage priorities, and take decisions within their scope without requiring constant supervision. Learning Mindset: Actively seeks to develop PM skills and knowledge; engages with coaching, feedback, and formal development opportunities. This role is designed as both a substantive delivery position and a structured development pathway towards Senior Project Manager level within the PCE Office and the wider Safran engineering community.
