You will be directly supporting project leaders and the project managers, leading on the creation and development of the projects' business cases, ensuring they are compelling and deliverable, and setting out the approvals and assurance routes in the early stages.

As well as supporting this project as NERC's 'Designated officer', you will be required to:

  • Attend key project meetings to represent NERC/UKRI as owners of the aircraft.
  • Set the requirements of governance, assurance & reporting that NERC/UKRI need from the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM) and its contractors, supported by contracted aviation specialists as required.
  • Provide a conduit to between FAAM & the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) and NERC/UKRI.

Essential:

  • Proven track record of delivering results in the programme/project environment, with the ability to provide direction and mobilise people and work at pace whilst maintaining a high standard
  • Excellent leadership skills, able to inspire and lead large, complex multistakeholder projects with individuals from multiple organisations and multiple disciplines
  • Strong interpersonal skills, able to influence and build and maintain strong working relationships with a wide range of stakeholders at all levels
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills
  • Enthusiastic, motivated, adaptable and proactive with the ability to work flexibly in a changing environment
  • Ability to instil confidence within stakeholders at the most senior levels
  • Insightful business awareness with the ability capitalise on emerging opportunities, construct robust and compelling business cases, make sound evidencebased judgements and promote the interests of UKRI-NERC
  • A strong sense of personal resilience and ability to remain focused on the bigger picture
  • Ability to anticipate strategic risks and take a strategic view on how they can be addressed or mitigated
  • Experience of contract management


You will have access to a whole host of benefits including a flexible working scheme, a Career Average Revalued Earnings pension scheme, 30 days annual leave allowance, access to employee shopping/travel discounts.
