DV Cleared Project Manager, Planner, PMO, National Security, Defence UK

Job Description

DV Cleared Project Professionals (permanent and contract)


Working with DV cleared project professionals across national security and defence.

This is not a single role. It covers multiple opportunities across different organisations, locations and levels.


Most permanent roles sit between £50,000 and £75,000, with higher salaries available at senior management level.


Opportunities are a mix of permanent and contract, with more roles available on permanent.


Who this is for


  • Project Managers
  • Project Planners
  • Project Controls professionals (generalists as well as risk and cost specialists)
  • PMO and Programme support


You must hold active DV clearance.

Experience must come from civil service or industry environments.

Candidates moving directly from the military without this experience will not be suitable.


What I work on


  • Intelligence community roles in Manchester and Cheltenham (permanent)
  • Defence programmes across the UK (permanent)
  • Contract roles, mostly Bristol and Corsham, currently some in Glasgow


Projects are complex, secure and high value, typically within long term government programmes.


Contract opportunities


Some roles are offered on a contract basis.


  • Inside IR35
  • Typically £500 to £600 per day
  • Most commonly within project management and planning


These are less frequent than permanent roles but come up regularly.


Why get in touch


Even if you are not actively looking, it is worth having a conversation.


I work across multiple programmes and requirements, so opportunities vary over time and are not always advertised individually.


If you hold DV clearance and work within project delivery / PMO in national security or defence, apply or get in touch to discuss current and upcoming opportunities.
