Job Title: Project Manager

Location: Harlow, Hybrid with 2-3 days a week on site

Travel: Ability and willingness to travel domestically and internationally.

About the role:

This is an exciting opportunity for a Project Manager to join our team and to take the lead on several new programmes, as well as support the continued growth of the business by undertaking the role of Bid Manager as required.

The role offers the opportunity to contribute to global security and safety, whilst also learning and developing your own skills and knowledge. Together the Air Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) team delivers a varied range of programmes, from production, development, integration and support. This can be to customers directly, or through other key defence companies and Raytheon entities.

Our business has the benefit for working in a challenging environment: a complex engineering and legislative environment with frequent changes – we are therefore keen to hear from individuals who can create momentum within a programme, work effectively with other team members to deliver results and adapt to change. A key benefit to this role, given the rapid growth in the ATMS business area, is the opportunity to travel to visit customers and suppliers both nationally and internationally.

The successful candidate will be a highly motivated self-starter, having a demonstrated ability to work accurately, in often time critical circumstances.  They will have good communication, planning and organisational skills and ideally have experience in both Project and Bid Management.

Below are both the Essential and Desirable candidate qualities.  At Raytheon our priority is culture: we are keen to hear from people with the right attitude, values and willingness to learn, therefore even if you feel you do not meet some of the qualities, we still encourage you to apply.
