**Job summary**:
Thank you for expressing an interest in SDA Head of Submarine Disposal & Devonport Infrastructure role at the Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA).
Our Agency is central to the UK Government’s £178 billion equipment plan for the British Armed Forces, and is responsible for the procurement, in-service support and decommissioning of all UK nuclear submarines.
The nuclear submarine portfolio is a national endeavour and one of the largest UK investment portfolios, of critical strategic importance. We design, build, support and dispose of a unique piece of military hardware which must take its crew to sea for months at a time, keeping them there in safety, whilst powered by a nuclear reactor and, in some, housing ballistic nuclear missiles. This is what makes a nuclear submarine the most complex machine that the United Kingdom makes and supports, and this means we need people with exceptional skills to successfully deliver our portfolio.
We are looking to appoint the SDA Head of Submarine Disposal & Devonport Infrastructure (SDDI) to lead the delivery of a high profile portfolio of in excess of £3bn, including two projects that feature in the Government Major Projects Portfolio and two Public Account Committee commitments.
This is a senior leadership role that has responsibility to ensure that the highest quality outcomes are delivered throughout the SDA (and in collaboration with key suppliers) by a motivated, capable and agile project delivery workforce.
We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment and are actively looking to improve the diversity of our workforce whilst ensuring we have a culture of inclusivity.
We are looking to appoint the Head of SDDI to lead a team of c.130 personnel based at various locations around the UK. The post will require frequent travel and attendance at our sites in Bristol, Plymouth and Rosyth, with flexible working options available, and is critical in achieving the SDA’s role in supporting the Defence Nuclear Enterprise to deliver Royal Navy submarines, now and in the future.
This is a Portfolio Delivery role that will take overall responsibility for submarine disposals and leads the programme to deliver the investments necessary to Submarine infrastructure to support future maintenance programmes, operational programmes and long term Submarine Availability.
We would like to hear from successful leaders, able to motivate and lead individuals and teams to deliver one of the most complex challenges in the world to the highest standards of safety and quality in a heavily regulated environment. We would be interested to hear how your delivery experience has prepared you for this aspect of the role. We want someone who can take tough decisions, accept very significant responsibility and work as part of a team to manage complexity.
We are looking for an individual who can collaborate across stakeholders within MOD, wider Government and other industry partners, who can inspire our workforce, who can drive the changes needed to meet the needs of their Delivery Team, and who can lead on initiatives to attract, develop and retain a diverse workforce deliver our critical outputs for the Royal Navy and UK Defence.
This is an exciting time for the SDA. We look forward to welcoming you onboard to become part of our journey.
