Project Manager Level 2

Location: Glasgow

Clyde 2070 presents a rare and exciting opportunity to design and develop an existing site / base with needs to sustain operations for generations to come, moving beyond piecemeal investment to architecting a capability that is fit for purpose, efficient, resilient, safe, secure and improves the working lives of those afloat and ashore. To make the most of this opportunity Clyde 2070 must plan and deliver transformation from the outset and manage the consequent impact on all aspects of life and work at the site / base.

This must start by developing a vision for its future state, covering how the site / base will best operate in the future, how people will live, work and train, and how the wider ecosystem will function. Clyde 2070 must engage a broad stakeholder community to determine this vision and capture the associated user and system requirements for every change to the maritime support capability delivered by the site / base. These requirements will include the infrastructure, but must also address the tools, information, processes, training, logistics, transport, supply chain and other enablers for the future operating model.
