Who are we?

We are the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) - the UK's leading institution for integrated coastal and deep ocean research. Through our ground-breaking research, collaboration, and game-changing innovation we work to gain a deeper understanding of our ocean, helping every living thing on our planet flourish.

We are made up of a dynamic and vibrant community focused on solving challenging long-term marine science problems, underpinning international and UK public policy, business and societal outcomes.

The ocean has the potential to provide the solutions to so many of the social, economic and environmental challenges we face worldwide. To truly harness the value of the ocean, we put ocean research, science and discovery at the heart of our culture.

Join us in shaping the future of oceanographic research and contribute your unique perspective to our organisation.

This role will have a specific focus on supporting staff with the tools and skills required to support moving-goal projects, including the application of Agile methodologies.

About you

We are seeking a project professional who has experience of applying both waterfall and Agile PM methodologies to achieve successful project outcomes. You will be a confident communicator who is able to work collaboratively with engineers, scientists, corporate staff and senior stakeholders to enable project delivery. You will also need to be an effective team player who can work with fellow project managers to provide a customer-focused business partnering service for project management. You will be able to demonstrate a commitment to continued professional development and the application of best practice PM.

Why NOC?

We offer a generous set of benefits, including:

- 30 days contractual annual leave, plus 3.5 extra closure days and bank holidays
