Do you want to be part of something amazing and have the opportunity to work on a broad range of projects of direct relevance to tackling the climate emergency?
We are looking for a Project Manager to work in the Earth Observations area. Earth Observations (EO) from space capture immensely valuable measurements of the climate. EO data are complex and transforming these measurements into trustable information usable for world-class science, climate services and enhanced policymaking requires the underpinning of world-class metrology. NPL are leaders in the development and application of EO metrology, spanning a wide range of activities. As a Project Manager you’ll take a leading role in delivering a range of these projects and contracts that have the potential to make a huge difference to the world we live in.
Our Project Managers lead on projects with stakeholders across the globe. These include R&D and commercial projects across the UK government and industry as well as European and international collaborations, such as the European Space Agency (ESA). You will be delivering projects on time, to budget and to the highest quality standards within our governance framework. You will receive support from our exclusive PMO portfolio office, who provide resources to help on projects and quality templates to ensure all our projects are managed to the highest standard. The PMO continuously develops improvements across our project portfolio to help Project Managers deliver their projects effectively and efficiently.
Our Project Managers build trust-based relationships and really get embedded in the teams whose projects they are managing and are trusted to work effectively with NPL`s world leading scientists. This ensures we create a supportive, friendly and encouraging culture across our organisation. You don’t need to be an expert in science, although through a lot of what you will be involved in you will naturally become highly conversant in the themes of your projects.
We are now working in a hybrid way, with a mix of remote and office working. We strive to offer a great work life balance- if you are looking for part time or flexible options, we will try to make this work where it is business possible. In addition, there is a wide range of benefits available to you as an NPL employee.
