Programme Manager | Bournemouth | £55,000
Aviation is one of the most demanding environments in which to manage a programme. Every deliverable carries weight, every schedule change has a ripple effect, and every customer relationship is hard-won. This is a business that has spent decades building its reputation, winning the confidence of major OEMs and customers through precision, accountability, and the ability to deliver where others struggle. They are now looking for a Programme Manager who can take the reins on complex, high-value programmes and drive them from sales handover through to closure, with full ownership of the outcomes.
As a Programme Manager, you will benefit from:
A technically rich environment with genuine complexity, including complex engineering development, certification testing, and third-party integrations
Autonomous ownership of programme delivery, cost, quality, and weight performance
Direct customer-facing responsibility with leading OEMs and airline operators
Formal project management development supported by an established PM function
Exposure to international travel and multi-site programme activity
A stable, well-regarded business with a long-standing position in the aviation sector
As a Programme Manager, your responsibilities will include:
Managing the full programme lifecycle from sales handover to closure, with complete budgetary accountability for delivery, cost, quality, and weight
Acting as primary customer contact for all communications, queries, and key programme milestones including ITCM, PDR, CDR, and FAI
Developing, maintaining, and communicating the programme plan, schedule, and change log to internal and external stakeholders
Leading the Integrated Project Team (IPT), coordinating resources, resolving conflicts, and managing critical path dependencies
Managing scope change through the MCP/CCP process, including Change Board presentations and OEM approval coordination
Monitoring and reporting programme financial performance, OEM ratings, and delivery status against contract obligations
As a Programme Manager, your experience will include:
Minimum 5 years in a programme or project management role, ideally within aerospace, aviation, or defence manufacturing
Degree educated in Engineering, Science, Business, or a related discipline
Formal PM qualification desirable: APM PMQ, PRINCE2 Practitioner, or AGILE Practitioner
Experience managing programme P&L and working to contractual cost and delivery targets
Strong stakeholder management and negotiation skills, with a track record of maintaining OEM and customer relationships under pressure
Proficient in Microsoft Office, including MS Project
If you are a structured, delivery-focused Programme Manager who thrives on accountability and is ready to take full ownership of complex programmes in a specialist aviation environment, this is a role worth exploring.
