  • Support preparation of materials for technical reviews, assurance gates, and programme boards.
  • Maintain a structured document control environment using SharePoint and Teams, ensuring version control, traceability, and audit compliance.
  • Ensure all programme artefacts (RAID logs, actions, decisions, registers) are accurate, current, and aligned with contractual requirements.

Risk, Issue & Change Management

  • Maintain RAID logs and ensure timely updates from owners ahead of governance cycles.
  • Support impact assessments for risks, issues, and schedule changes.
  • Track and drive closure of actions arising from meetings, reviews, and supplier engagements.
  • Escalate emerging risks early and support development of mitigation and contingency plans.

Operational Delivery Support

  • Coordinate logistics for hardware shipments, storage, customs clearance, and overseas deployments.
  • Support enabling-works planning, including contractor coordination, site readiness checks, and local compliance requirements.
  • Assist with test and acceptance planning, including readiness checks, documentation, and evidence capture.
  • Maintain oversight of long-lead items, manufacturing progress, and delivery schedules.

  • Support financial tracking, including milestone payments, invoicing, and budget monitoring.
  • Assist with preparation of technical, commercial, and contractual documentation.
  • Ensure programme activities comply with security, safety, and environmental requirements.

Minimum Requirements

  • Experience coordinating complex technical, engineering, or hardware deployment programmes.
  • Strong understanding of project management principles, including scheduling, RAID management, governance, and change control.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
