Aerospace & Defence Project Management
Project Management in Aerospace and Defence
Aerospace and Defence based project management recruitment covers everything from submarines to satellites and everything in between. Understanding the complex and challenging staffing requirements for such large programmes and projects is something Arras People really works hard at. The changing nature of the business requirements that the sector has faced over the last few years and the increase in complexity of projects the industry faces in the future means finding the right project leaders is crucial.
Experienced in recruiting project controllers to senior programme managers
Arras People has experience of supplying senior programme managers through to project controllers and support staff for some of the UK's largest organisations. We've also sourced technical specialists that work within project environments, such as technical authors, engineers and analysts, all of which possess key skills for Arras People's consultants.
Arras People's experience in this sector over the last decade shows that successful recruitment entails more than simply meeting the technical requirements of a role. The relevant mechanical / electrical / manufacturing / engineering disciplines of successful aerospace and defence project management professionals are coupled with experience gained in complex environments. Robust technical project management ability, coupled with strong softer skills such as leadership and communication are key criteria for Arras when interviewing and selecting appropriate candidates for this sector.
Understanding the need for security clearances, many of our candidates are in possession of up to date security clearance through their current role. Candidates who do not have security clearance are coached from the outset of the recruitment process to expect a prolonged interview / offer period as security clearances, reference and background checks can take some time to be obtained.
As a niche agency we are well positioned to deal with less mainstream requirements and are keen to assist you in finding the right person with the right skill set for the right price.
