The Project Management office is looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to work with our world leading Time and Frequency department.
You will be joining our team at an exciting time – the Time and Frequency department maintain the UK’s National Time Scale, UTC (NPL), and are currently developing a new resilient Time Scale facility that will underpin our Critical National Infrastructure. This will address the risks associated with our dependency on global navigation satellite systems (such as GPS) that are vulnerable to both natural and intentional interference.
As a Senior Project Manager you will be organised, business-savvy and with great communication skills, you’re a natural influencer who’s able to manage projects in a positive way. Beyond that, we’re looking for people who’ll thrive in an environment like ours. At NPL we learn from each other, respect each other, and work together to do better for ourselves and for our customers. And whilst we are always looking to stretch beyond what we know, we don’t make things more complicated when there’s no need.
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. This will be dependent on the kind of role you do and part of the business you work in.
